Back to present.

Ocean's P.O.V.
Darkwood, 21 Century.

It had been two whole weeks since my mate was pronounced dead.

It had been two whole weeks since I recused from my Alpha position.

It had been two whole weeks since an all-around curfew was established.

Two weeks since I gave up living.

Unruly beard marred my face and uncut hair that reached my jawline. Aunt Livia had been keeping me alive by practically forcing food down my throat. 

Steven and Aaron were in charge of the pack and Ryan had ordered crates of canned food for the whole pack that would last for months. No one was allowed out.

My head turned towards Naya. Her body was plugged up to a breathing ventilator, a head cap monitoring her brain activity. The lines working overtime to keep up whatever was going through her head.

I was hospitalised again after my team found me passed out on the ground. I was empty. The void inside me was eating me alive and I wanted to be with her. 

I wanted to die with her. Like I have for centuries but when they told me that her MRI scan shows significant activity but her body wasn't responding to any stimulants.

Adeya provided me with a medical bed in her room. I couldn't leave her side. The pack was getting restless and they wanted to know what happened and why. 

The elite team and the only immediate family knew the true reason. I had a splitting headache from the lack of connection with my mate.

"You need to sleep Ocean." I felt Adeya's comforting hand on the back of my head. "I've been sitting on this chair for days. Come on, I'll give you some anaesthetic to help you sleep. You need to be strong when she wakes up."

"What if she never wakes up." My voice was sore and hollower than usual. I was weak and unstable.

"Look at her brain activity. It's too high for her to be dead. She's only paralysed, hold on the hope young alpha." Her nickname for me stabbed a sword through my heart. It was Samuel's nick name for me when I was a teenager. The brave son who gave his life to save mine.

"I'm sorry." I planted my head in my palms, elbows rested on my knees.

"For what?"

"For getting Samuel killed."

"I don't think I've ever heard you say those words." I heard her voice soften. "He didn't protect the future alpha, he protected his little brother..." My throat constricted with tears. "...you did him proud by growing up to be the man you've become."
