The Two Worlds' Collision

Goodbyes Aren't Easy, But Promises are Forever

*Rachel*

"Because no one can touch her but me, me her mate", I heard a dark ferocious growled echo though the hallway. I looked away from Rick, my high school senior with a now known crush on me, to see Ryan storming down the hallway towards us, his darkened eyes locked on my arms and his hands. I could feel saved from this situation but I also felt the need to stop it so Chloe couldn't see this. "Ryan please calm down", I was trying to reason with him. Keyword trying. "HE IS HOLDING YOU IN A WAY THAT YOU DENIED TO ALLOW BUT YOU STILL SIDING WITH HIM!", he shouted angrily making a beeline to Rick. I moved in front of him. "Not now, Ryan. I can handle it", I snarled in a warning tone. "WHY ARE YOU DEFENDING HIM! DO YOU LIKE HIM, MAYBE EVEN FAVOR HIM OVER YOUR MATE", he growled in his alpha tone, trying to move pass to kill Rick. 'Look down', I minklinked him with sharp eyes. So frustrated he did and it seemed to startled him since face change when he saw Chloe watching him frighteningly. He looked back to me as if realizing why I was defending the handsy guy behind me. I turned to face the now frozen Rick watching us. "Rick, please do not disturb us again. If you haven't seen my mate isn't a very patient man when it comes to contact with other wolves, especially males", I said blankly. All he could do was nod in response before walking away. I felt little arms release from my leg making me look down at a scared little Chloe. "S-sis", he voice trembled out with big puppy eyes. 'Aw', Maya cooed in my head. "Come here, honey", I cooed bending down to pick up the little one. She ran into my arms, gripped my neck as she nustle into my hair. "Hey, I'm sorry if I scared you, Chloe. I-I just-", Ryan stuttered as he was trying to explain his reaction was kinda funny. "It's ok. I'm just very sensitive with my ears", Chloe whispered through my hair. Suddenly, I felt some arms engulf my waist with sparks. "Thank you for stopping me", Ryan whispered on the other side of my head setting his chin on my collarbone. "Your welcome", I whispered back. I could hear faint awes all over the hallway from pack members seeing us together like this. "Um, M'lady", the doctor said cautiously. "Yes, Doc. How is she?", I said feeling Chloe lifting her head to look at the Doctor. "The surgery went good and we saved the baby. But I'm sorry she won't make it much long. Maybe not to even morning", he replied hanging his head hanging his head low. I could feel Chloe tense on my side. "Can we see my mommy", she said trying not to cry. "Of course. She sent for all three of you and your father, M'lady", he said calmly. All three of us? Why does she want to see Ryan? "Ok, could you lead the way for us, Doc?", I questioned. "Yes, M'lady", he said with a bow before leading us down the hallway and into a room. Chloe's mother had tubes running in and out of her from all sides. I could feel Chloe shaking with the sight. "Its ok. I'm here", I comfort her the best way I knew, letting her know she's not alone. "Do you want to go closer?", I asked her softly. I watched her nodded slowly not ever taking her eyes off the bed. I walked closer to the bed. Chloe just stared at her mother's lifeless body laying still. "I know she can still hear you, honey. Tell her everything you want to say", I whispered to Chloe. I sat her down on the bed but didn't leave her side. "Hi, mommy. This is Chloe. I wanted to tell you I love you so much, mommy. You are the best mommy in the whole. Please don't die. Please. I don't want to be alone", Chloe was crying desperately by the end. My heart was breaking by her thoughts of being alone. I wrapped my arms around her tightly. "You'll never be alone. I'll always be here for you", I whispered in her ear.

*Ryan*

I watched my mate hug the crying Chloe in a way a mother would hold her pup. "You'll never be alone. I'll always be here for you", She whispered in Chloe's ear. I walked towards them and crouched in front of the bed looking at Chloe. "I will be here for you no matter what as well, sweetheart", I said looking into Chloe's tear filled eyes. She let go of Rachel and wrapped her little arms around my neck. "Thank you, Ryan", she said, tears hitting my neck. "Your welcome, Chloe", I said looking up to meet Rachel's eyes, her love filled eyes. Chloe released her grip and turned back towards her mom to give her a hug. I stood up to see my mate still watching me. 'What?', I minklinked her. She smiled a bright smile walk closer to me, wrapped her arms around me. 'Oh nothing, you big softie', she sighed out staring a the hospital bed. 'I'm not soft", I huffed. She looked up to me. Her eyes shining in the dim hospital room light. 'Not yet, Jack Frost. But you're not still the ice cube I met in that office room', she linked. 'She's right and pretty cutie right this minute', Nick purred through our mindlink. I leaned down to her ear. "I guess you're right, my love", I whispered husky feeling her shiver to my tone. I barely moved up to look into her eyes. Our breathe hitched as we both saw the love and want reflecting off each other eyes. I looked down to see her pink plumed lips and then her gorgeous now violet eyes. I could feel my eyes darker as she did the same. I inched closer to her lips, leaning in for our fist kiss. She was following my movement. Less than a centimeter away our breathes mixing. Her strawberry and pine scent flooded my nose. A knock on the door stopped us, suddenly jumping out of each other's arms. "Rachel, are you in here?", a man's voice called. "Yes, father", she responded with respect. Her father walked in with Scout trailing behind him. "Oh. Mr. Breakage, I was unaware you were in here with Rachel", he said. Wait, is he smirking at me?! "I-I w-wanted to make sure they got here f-fine", I said trying not to blush from what he might have heard. Damn wolf hearing. "I see", he said looking at me closely. "Scout, why are you here? You should be resting. It's not good for you to be out of bed yet!", Rachel said examining her twin while lecturing him. "Can you take her yet", he whined to me. She smacked him on the head, hard. "Damn, you woman", Scout said covering his head. She stuck out her tongue before smirking. 'She's going to be a hand full', Nick groaned as I chuckled. 'Yes, she is'.
