Denied by Destiny: Trapped in the Shadows of the Mate Bond

Chapter 0051

Hector POV "Alpha!"

I awoke to a headache. To the excruciating feeling that someone had been shouting in my head all night like a loud thumping speaker at a heavy rock concert. "Whattt?" I yell back, the sensation of being disoriented overtaking me. I was groggy, my throat dry as sunlight seeps through the curtains in my bedroom. "It's Kaia, she's awake..."

"Since when?" I sit up, my head spinning as I remember having no dinner but plenty of whiskey. My eyes casting on the two empty bottles by the side of the bed "Since 3am, she went back to sleep, but is awake again now."

I look at the time on my phone, that I seemed to remember to put on charge before passing out. 8.30am, fuck...I've missed training..

"Damn it Aubrey, I told you to wake me the moment she woke up."

"I've been trying Alpha."

"I'm coming now..." I leap out of bed grabbing my jeans and finding a fresh tshirt from my drawers. I needed a shower, to wash off the smell of whiskey, but that would have to wait. ""...how is she?"

"She's not good. She had to be sedated back to sleep in the end."

Fuck! I knew I shouldn't have left.

I'm back at the hospital in record time. Vaguely remembering which corridors to go down, the memory of carrying Kaia in my arms still too raw.

I find her room, Aubrey sitting next to her on the hospital chair, talking to her...but Kaia seems vacant.
