The Magical Alpha's Forbidden Mate

LOST AND COLD

Andy’s POV

It’s been three day’s and Anna still hasn’t woken up from her coma. The doctors said they don’t know when she will wake up because they couldn’t find anything that caused the coma. She has a broken arm and leg and her head injury already started healing so they can’t find anything that would cause a coma.

Jessy has been in and out of consciousness due to the sedatives the nurse keeps giving her ever night. Whenever she is awake she goes into hysteric cries about how all this is her fault and if she didn’t say anything none of this would have happened and Anna would be at home watching movie or sleeping. So the nurse mostly keeps her sedated.

Anna’s mother arrived yesterday and I tried Explaining as best as I could about what happened and the fight we had and then the car. The cops still haven’t found the owner of the car, but they did find Tommy Glaze’s fingerprints all over the car but it’s registered on a different name so they guessed that it’s a borrowed car or a stolen one.

They spoke to me trying to find out whom he is and if we know him. I told them everything about that night and that Anna threw her drink at him for making a comment she didn’t like.

Things like this rarely happen in a small town and when it does it becomes a big deal.

I tried remembering anything that might have happened that would make Tommy do this to Anna but I couldn’t think of anything.

I have been trying to keep my feelings at bay knowing this is not the time to blame myself for it won’t solve anything or change what happened or erase the things I’ve said. I just hope she gets through this so I can have a chance to tell her how much I love her and how sorry I am.

As I sat in the waiting room needing some space to think Anna’s mom approached me and sat down next to me. I noticed how exhausted she looks and I wish I knew what is going on inside her head.

“it’s not your fault Andy, couples and friends have fights all the time.” her mom said and I just stared at her. none of us ever told her that Anna and I are a couple, we made sure to leave that detail out for now.

“h… how did you know?” I asked unsure because maybe she didn’t and tricked me. she smiled at me and said, “it’s not hard to see from a mother view that you two are crazy about each other and I was just wondering who would tell who before it’s too late.” she put her hand on my back and rubbed slow circles.

“I’m going home for the night to get some sleep, and I think you should too. You have been here ever since she was admitted and you barley had sleep.” Anna’s mom said and looked at me worriedly.

“I’m sorry that this happened and I never even thought Tommy would do something like this.” I said and let out a sight laying my head in my hands.

“she will be okay Andy, you just keep believing that.” Anna’s mom said and got up.

Everything was great until the dance and that guy showed up. I thought to myself as I got up from the chair and walked to Anna’s room.

As I stand next to her I take her hand in mine and it’s cold. Even though it’s like 60 degrees outside she is ice cold. I pushed the button calling a nurse and waited.

When one came in I asked, “is it normal for her to be this cold?” I asked and let go of her hand. The nurse came closer and took her temperature and her eyes widen. She pressed a red button and chased me out of the room. I left and phoned Anna’s mom knowing they won’t tell me anything because I’ not family.

Anna’s mom (Meredith) POV

Leaving Anna is the hardest thing I do every time I have to leave. Ever since my husband (James) died I started spending less and less time at home. When I wanted to move Anna wouldn’t hear it. She said, “every memory I have of him is in this house and if we move I will forget him.” I never had the heart to fight her against that because it’s true. I got a promotion the year after as the head of marketing executive and that meant a lot of traveling. Leaving Anna in the beginning was easier because she would go over o Jessy and Andy’s house until I come back until she grew up and insisted on staying home. I am not running from my daughter I am running from the house. Is what I keep telling myself as I go from meeting to meeting not even able to catch my breath.

Anna calls me every night and I call her whenever I have a chance and she told me about the spring dance and that she is going with Andy and Jessy. i never said anything but those two have been crazy about each other since they were about thirteen years old. Andy is a year older than her, but I trust them and I trust Anna I know she would make the right decisions if she ever listened to the talks we had.

I told me about the dress she got and I could just imagine how beautiful she would look in it and how the guys would be drooling over her.

Being a mother you can tell when something is wrong and I have had the feeling that something is wrong almost the whole day. I tried ignoring it and eventually I couldn’t. I phoned Anna and she swore that everything is okay and that they are getting ready for the dance. I told her to have fun and always to be safe. I never imagined getting a call just before twelve in the evening saying my child was hit by a car and is in ICU. For a mother that is our worst nightmare and I could feel the walls closing in on me. the nurse I spoke told me about Jessy and Andy being there and they are too shaken up to speak.

My whole world came crashing down and being in that house never looked so bad I just made it worse.

I booked a ticket for the earliest flight I can get to go home. Everything I did felt like I was doing it in slow motion. Every step I take feels like my feet isn’t even touching the ground it’s like my soul left my body leaving an empty shell.

When my plane landed I didn’t even go home I went straight to the hospital. I got to the hospital and walked up to the reception desk asking for Anna Lane. The lady looked up and said, “she is in room 302.”

I thanked her and walked off. When I got to her room my heart sank as I look at the state she is in, her head is bandaged, her eyes are swollen, her leg and arm is in a cast and she is hooked up to so many machines. My breath hitched as I walked closer to her taking her hand in mine. “I’m so sorry I wasn’t here honey.” I said and the tears just started flowing.

“Aunty Meredith, you’re here.” When I turned to the voice I saw Andy standing in the doorway with a cup of coffee and it looks like hasn’t slept at all.

“Where is Jessy?” I asked looking around.

Andy explained to me what happened and that she is mostly sleeping. And then he started telling me what happened and how Anna ended up here.

I didn’t know what to say or what to think.

I eventually went looking for the doctor to ask him what is going on because they won’t talk to Andy. After that I sat down and spoke to Andy explaining to him what is going on and that the doctors can’t find anything wrong with her other than I minor head injury not big enough to put her in a coma though.

The next morning nothing has changed so I decided to go home shower and get some rest. I advised Andy to do the same, but I could see the hesitation behind his eyes so I didn’t say anything else and got up to leave.

When I got home it felt emptier than usual, no Anna to even greet me and ask me how my day was. As I walked through the house i sight when I saw the Pizza box on the counter and just shook my head. I walked up to my room and put my bag down. I was removing my jacket when I heard my phone ring I took it out of my pocket and saw it’s Andy.

“hallo.” I said.

“something is wrong with Anna. They chased me out and don’t want to tell me anything.” Andy said and my heart dropped. I dropped the call and grabbed my keys running down stairs and out of the house.

Anna POV

“Where am I?” I asked looking around feeling as though someone stuffed me into a freezer and shut the door. I rub my hands over my arms trying to warm up, but it’s not working.

I feel lost and confused and I just want to go home. As I sit in this dark empty corner of who knows where I hear footsteps approaching. I jumped up looking around frantically, “who’s there?” I asked and I could feel my heart racing.

“Calm down Anna, it’s just me Damien.” He said and the footsteps came closer.”

“where am I?” I asked barely able to hear myself.

“I will explain everything to you, but first you have to let go of the world you know and the people you once knew. Until then I can’t tell you anything.” Damien said.

I looked up squinting my eyes trying to see something, but I don’t see anything.

“what are you talking about?” I asked.

“you were in an accident so half of you is here and the other half is still fighting. You have to let go of the world you once knew to embrace the one I will introduce you too.” Damien said.

I swear this guy is talking in riddles or something because everything he says doesn’t make sense. I felt a breath against my ear and he whispered, “just let go Anna.” A shiver ran down my spine and not the good kind. None of this feels right.

I turned my head and said, “NO. you have had me confused ever since the first time I saw your reflection in the TV at first I thought I was going crazy, and then I saw you at the dance and knew I wasn’t crazy. I didn’t make the connection right away it took me a while, but everywhere I am you show up. What do you want from me?” I pushed myself away from the cold wet wall and could feel I’m already warming up.

“I want you to let go Anna. I want you to have a life where you will never be scared, never be cold, where you will never have to worry about jerks like Tommy. All I want is for you to see what the other side of the world has to offer. Who knows maybe you’ll like it.” Damien said and it’s like someone pressed play on my memories. Everything came back at once making me wince as my head started pounding.

I remember the dance, and the fight with Andy and then Jessy and I remember walking out of the house and then… the car. ‘I was hit by a car.” I said more to myself than anyone else.

And then I remembered the voices. “say your worst nightmare.” I said to Damien wanting to make sure of something. “your worst nightmare.” Damien said and I gasped covering my mouth. “what did you do with him?” I asked rooted to my spot. “he got what he deserved and he will never bother or harm you again.” Damien said.

“you killed him?” I said.

“no I just made sure he will never hurt someone else again. I’m sure someone has found him by now.”

“I want to go home Damien.” I said dropping my voice to a whisper. My body is warm enough for me to move around without fearing to break something.

“all you have to do is let go.” Damien said and again I have no idea what he is talking about.

I closed my eyes and imagined my mother, Andy and Jessy. they are all waiting for me and slowly Damien started to fade from my mind. Just before my eyes shot open I heard Damien screaming, “nooo… you are letting go of the wrong place Anna.” And then my eyes shot open.
