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

Chapter 0343

I have no way of measuring time at the moment, I've not even left the hospital room. None of us have.

I couldn't even tell you if it were day or night outside. My lungs were stale from the lack of fresh air, my stomach past the point of hunger and my throat dry.

Food and fluids have been offered to us, but we take what we need only to keep alive. None of us wanting to leave this room, just in case.

Days have passed with no change, no sign of her ever coming back to us.

How long, how long do you keep someone on life support for? How long do you make the family live in pain.

The head of emergency has broached the subject with the alphas to consider ending the life support, but it has been Doctor Abel that has been the one to block him ever since. He refused to even let him in the room. This is why I don't let anybody in, this is why I don't want people getting close to me...for me to get attached.

I can't cope with the loss all over again. I know I'm going to have to survive without her, but I'm not even sure how I would do that. I don't think I would want to even try.
