Chapter 109 ~ Blood transfusion

ALEX

"I... I thought he was with Athena," she says, her voice cracking. "He said he wanted to show her something. I assumed he'd gone to her. He always runs off to her and he's always fine so I thought he was fine!"

Her words slam into me like a freight train.

I turn sharply, my eyes narrowing. "So you just let him go? You didn't follow him?"

"We were all getting ready for the cake," she cries, "Everyone was there. He disappeared so fast, and it wasn't until we were calling everyone to come back that we noticed him and Athena were still missing.

We called Athena, but she hadn't seen him. Then we started looking... God, Alex, we found him lying in the snow near the trees. He must've fallen, oh my God."

Her voice is a sob now, but it doesn't reach me. I'm too far gone.

"You should've called me immediately!" I roar, my nose flaring. "You waited? You waited until now to tell me my son was unconscious and freezing in the goddamn snow?!"

"Alex, please-"

"No!" I snap, my eyes searching for Leah, who is hiding behind her friends like it might keep me from unraveling.

"He's three. Fucking three! And you all let him wander off? You assumed he was with someone else and went back to blowing out candles?"

I don't wait for her answer.

I turn and storm down the hallway toward the emergency wing, shoving past a nurse when she tries to stop me.

They can throw me out after I see him.

After I know he's okay.

Because if he's not?
