The Prince’s Unwilling mate by Mutya the Author novel Chapter 142

I had mindlinked the pack doctor on duty to go check up on Ayla. Explaining what had happened. He let me know he would be going over to her in ten minutes. Then I called Jay and Tessie to let them know. Even if they knew better than to get too much hope from this. I could hear the relief in their voices. It was a good sign and we all appreciated it. Next I mindlinked, all of our close friends and family in the pack. So all of them would know too.
Then I rushed to our personal chambers. Krystel had brought the framed picture over. The bigger copy of the picture I found in the forest that day. Without thinking about it, I took out my drill and hung up the picture. Above our couch, above the spot where I pictured us all snuggled up. I had avoided coming home and looking at pictures of Ayla for that matter. It reminded me of the future we were planning and how unsure it had become. That same future suddenly did not feel so impossible and unsure anymore.
Next, I started on the dough for the Snickerdoodle cookies and turned on the oven so it could preheat. By the time my dough was done, the oven was hot enough so I flattened my cookies rolled them in the sugar cin namon mix, and popped them into the oven as I made myself a quick sandwich. Ten minutes later, the cookies are done and I set the tray on the stove to cool down. Then I take a quick shower, followed by a short forty-five-minute nap.
Dillion was right, I did feel better and I had to admit I smelled better too. Before packing up the cookies, I mindlinked Dillion if everything was okay.
“Yes, nothing much has changed, I feel she looks more peaceful, but that could be on me though.” He tells me, and I choose to believe it is

on him.
I am already feeling so happy, with the fact that she squeezed my hand. That I need to be careful and still protect my heart a little bit. Only when she has opened her eyes and talked to me, I can be sure she will make it out okay. After I have carefully wrapped up the cookies, I look at the clock to see I have been gone for two hours. I promised her I would be back in two-and-half hours tops. Meaning, I need to rush to make sure I won’t break my promise.
Cookies,

“Griff, nothing is wrong but you need to hurry here” Dillion’s face. sounds happy, elated even when he mindlinks me.
I was already at the hospital, so now I just ran through the hallways, storming into Ayla’s room.
“Ever since she squeezed your hand, she seems to be more lively. The doc. even said she had brain activity in parts of her brain where she didn’t have any since she was in a coma. And now she is trying to say something but I don’t understand any of it” Dillion rushed to say, taking my stuff from me so I can sit next to Ayla.
“What is it Darling, I am here now you can talk to me?” I say, stroking
her cheek.
Her face seems to relax like my touch is soothing. She doesn’t speak for a while as I sit there silently stroking her cheek. All this time I have. been telling her about how much I miss her. How much I cannot live without her. And while that is still very much true. The moment she
reacted the most was Krystel talking about work. Dillion being Dillion, asking her to tell me off. So I decided to give that a chance.

I sit back next to her, holding her hand in mine. Telling her about making the cookies, and hanging up the picture and it seems to be working. Her eyelashes flutter like she is trying to open her eyes. Her hand twitches in mine. Dillion sees it too, he whispers his goodbyes. But implores me to keep him posted.
Wanting to keep telling her about casual things, but not having done a lot since she went missing. I am struggling with things to tell her. Happy casual things, when I suddenly remembered how my human. gaming friends had asked to meet up with me.
“So my gamer friends missed me, I stopped gaming for a little bit since you know what? Anyway, I told them my fiancé was ill. They send you their best and they want to meet with both of us when you are feeling better. I know this is more my thing but if you join me we could always go to the bookstore after” I started talking about simpler things because it seemed to help Ayla.

Now I was smiling too. Maybe she was on to something, maybe I should not focus on everything that went wrong. But focus on all the things we still have.
“Help me….”
“Don’t know”
“Love him”
She started mumbling moving her hands, for the first time since I laid her down here in this bed she now seemed like she was dreaming. Suddenly I smelled her blood and I panicked before I saw what was the cause. With moving around so much she had pulled her IV out. The oxygen machine was beeping two. Causing the doctors to rush in.

“Can you tell us what happened, Alpha?” Doctor Paul asked me.
“You know how earlier today she seemed to be responding to us. Dillion said she seemed to be wanting to speak since I got back from resting. Ever since I sat here talking to me, she suddenly started moving around. And it caused her to rip the IV out.”
The doctors nod and they get to work on Ayla. Nobody tells me to leave the room so I just stand back. Not wanting to get in the way of the doctors. But wanting to be in the room on the off chance she would wake up now. Watching doctors checking her pulse, and her lungs, shining a small light in her eyes was terrifying. It reminded me of when she was first taken in at the BloodMoon pack when we had no idea if she would even make it or not..
Soon, two doctors walked out of the room, and Doctor Paul stayed behind to talk to me.
“She is getting more active and it means that we need to take her off the life support. It will be dangerous if she accidentally rips them out again. Especially the oxygen tube. And it doesn’t seem like she needs. it anymore but it is a risk. So ultimately it is up to you.” He tells me.
It is a scary decision to make because both could end up being fatal for Ayla. Not choosing could also be fatal. It felt like I was deciding if I believed her to be strong enough or not. And that made my decision a bit easier.
“You can take her off life support, I am sure she can manage on her own,” I tell the doctor and he immediately goes to work..

Telling me, the next three days are going to be crucial. Then he walks off, leaving me alone in the room with Ayla. Before I can ask him my final question.
“I know you don’t like it when I talk about missing you. But I do you

know, it drives me crazy. So I decided to take this as a sign that you are making your way back to me, darling. I’ll go talk to the doctor to see if this means I get to bring you home now?” I tell her before walking off and finding the doctor again.
