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

Chapter 0128

Kala POV

I've been at the medical centre all morning and it was now coming up to lunch time, not that I'll stop for lunch. We had too much to do.

I had been checking on each patient to redress wounds and just be a hand for them to hold, I didn't want anyone to feel alone.

Alora arrives wanting to relieve me and let me rest but there is still just too much to do.

I give her a walk through, show her the wards that had the less severe patients and where to go for more dressings.

She looks completely overwhelmed and I have a moment in judgement when I don't think she is up for this, but then she turns to me and assures me that she's got this, that she will be fine and would mind-link me if she needs help.

I have to let her try, it would be good for her to be out of her comfort zone...to not be so sheltered. I tell myself as I leave the ward.

I enter a corrective surgery as soon as I bump into the surgeon in the corridor, he calls out to me to scrub in which brings me a flicker of hope in such dire surroundings, he must of thought I was doing a good job. By the time I finish the surgery and find Alora again, she is talking to a female patient as she redresses her head wound, I decide to leave her, I wasn't her keeper and she could decide for herself when she needed to call it a day, when she needed to rest. Although I do ask one of the doctors to keep an eye her and encourage her to leave not too long after me.

As I walk into the alpha house's kitchen, I know it's the plated up meal I should be reaching for but I don't, I go into the fridge and grab the cold bottle of wine that has been calling out to me all day.
