Chapter 27
_Killian’s POV_
When we reached the pack hospital, I didn’t waste a second. The moment Hayden pulled up, I threw open the door and rushed out, cradling Mira in my arms as gently as I could, though inside, I felt like I was unraveling. Her breathing was so shallow, and her skin felt colder than it should. She was slipping and I couldn’t let that happen.
“Nurses! Someone bring a trolley! Please, help!” I shouted, my voice raw with panic. A few nurses nearby turned, and when they saw Mira, they rushed over, wheeling a trolley toward us. I carefully placed her onto it, my hands trembling as I helped them position her so she would be comfortable. Every second felt like an hour, stretching out as my fears multiplied.
“We need to get her to the emergency room,” one of the nurses said urgently. Together, we pushed the trolley down the hall, and my heart was pounding as we went. I stayed by her side, one hand holding hers, even though her grip was weak and unresponsive.
As we reached the emergency room doors, a doctor stepped forward. I tried to steady my voice as I explained,
“She… she was complaining about pain in her belly, and then she fainted. Please, you have to help her.” The
desperation in my voice was clear, but I didn’t care if it made me sound weak. All that mattered was Mira.
The doctor looked at me with a calm but serious expression. “We’ll take it from here,” he said, his tone
reassuring but firm. “You’ll need to wait outside and let us work.”
My heart twisted at the thought of leaving her, but I forced myself to step back. “Please, do everything you can,” I whispered, barely able to hold myself together.
As the doors closed, I stood there, frozen for a moment, staring at the spot where she had disappeared. My heart was pounding, my hands clenching and unclenching as the reality of what was happening hit me. Mira was in pain. She was hurt, and there was nothing I could do about it. I felt so helpless and it was tearing me
apart.
A hand landed on my shoulder, and I turned to see Pete, his face full of concern. “She’ll be okay, Killian,” he said, trying to reassure me. But his words felt hollow, like an empty promise.
“What if she is not?” I murmured, my voice barely a whisper. The thought of losing her clawed at me, ripping through my chest. She was everything. I didn’t even know how or when it had happened, but somewhere along the way, Mira had become a part of me, a piece I couldn’t bear to lose.
Hayden stood on my other side, his expression solemn but steady. “She is strong, Killian. Just hold on to that.
I wanted to believe them. I wanted to believe she would pull through, that she would wake up and smile at me, that I would be able to tell her she was safe and everything would be okay. But I couldn’t shake the fear gnawing at me, the worry that something could go terribly wrong.
Realizing I needed to let her parents know what was happening, I quickly pulled out my phone and dialed my father’s number. He picked up after a few rings, his voice calm but curious. “Killian?”
“Dad, we… we found Mira,” I said, my voice breaking with relief and fear. “But she is not well. She is… she is hurt, and we’re at the pack hospital.”

My father’s voice grew serious. “Hurt? What happened?”
* Points >
I took a deep breath, trying to steady myself. “She ran into the forest and was attacked by rogues. The Alpha of the Blue Moon pack, Aaron, rescued her and offered her refuge there. But… things went wrong. He betrayed
her.”
There was a pause, and I could almost hear my father’s frown through the phone. “The Alpha of Blue Moon? That is unexpected. We had guards looking for her everywhere, and she just… vanished. How did you find her?
”
“We… we found her there tonight,” I replied, my voice low. I didn’t want to get into all the details, not when the worry for her was so fresh in my mind. “But she is… she is really unwell, Dad. Please, let her parents know. They need to be here.”
“I’ll inform them,” he said, his tone filled with worry. “And I’ll be there soon. Don’t worry, Killian. She’s in good hands. The pack doctors are very experienced and I have full faith that they will do the necessary to save her.
”
After hanging up, I sank onto the bench outside the emergency room, my head falling into my hands. Every nerve in my body was on edge, my heart thudding with an intensity that left me dizzy. What if she didn’t make it? What if I never got to see her smile again, or hear her laugh, or just… be with her?
Pete and Hayden sat beside me, their presence solid and reassuring, though it did little to ease the ache in my chest. Pete looked at me, his voice soft as he said, “She is going to fight through this, Killian. Míra is stronger than she seems.”
I nodded, though it felt like a hollow gesture. I wanted to believe it, but the fear was so overwhelming, so consuming, that it drowned out any comfort his words might have brought.
Minutes felt like hours as I sat there, waiting, the silence pressing down on me. Every so often, I would look at the doors, hoping that they would open, that someone would come out and tell me she was okay. But they remained closed, and the longer I waited, the more the dread in my chest grew.
I couldn’t lose her. Not now. Not ever.
My wolf, Leo, was restless inside me, pacing and howling with frustration. He was feeling every bit of my fear, my worry, and it was driving him wild. “Calm down,” I murmured to him in my mind, though I knew it was useless. Leo wasn’t one to calm down, not when it came to protecting those he cared about.
Hayden placed a reassuring hand on my shoulder. “She’ll make it through this, Killian. Just hold on to that thought.”
But his words did little to ease the turmoil inside me. The waiting was unbearable. Every minute that passed felt like a lifetime, and with each second, my mind spiraled further, imagining the worst.
Eventually, I couldn’t sit still any longer. I got up and began to pace the hallway, my steps restless, my mind a storm of worry. Pete and Hayden watched me, their expressions understanding, but I didn’t stop. I couldn’t. Moving was the only thing keeping me from falling apart completely.
Finally, after what felt like an eternity, the doors opened, and the doctor stepped out. I rushed forward, my heart pounding. “Is she… is Mira okay?”
The doctor’s face was serious, and his expression was unreadable. “She is stable for now, but we are still monitoring her closely. The situation is… delicate. We’ll keep you updated.”

His words were careful, but they didn’t bring the relief I was hoping for. Stable wasn’t the same as safe, and the way he looked at me made it clear that there was still a long way to go before we could breathe easy.
“Can I see her?” I asked, desperation thick in my voice.
He shook his head gently. “Not yet. She needs rest, and we need to keep her under close observation.”
I clenched my fists, the helplessness threatening to consume me. All I wanted was to be by her side, to hold her hand and tell her I was there. But all I could do was wait.
The doctor walked away, and I was left standing there, staring at the doors, the weight of the uncertainty pressing down on me.
Hayden approached, his hand on my shoulder. “Killian, she is holding on. That is what matters.”
I nodded, though it felt like a hollow comfort. I needed her to be okay. I needed to see her open her eyes, to hear her voice. She was my everything, and the thought of losing her was a pain I couldn’t bear.
So, I stayed there, waiting, praying that she would fight through this, that she would come back to me. Because the thought of a life without her was a darkness I couldn’t face. And as the hours dragged on, I made a silent promise to myself that I would be there for her, no matter what it took.
No one could take her from me. Not now, not ever.
