The Alpha's Broken Heart

Please come back~Nate~Earth

Nefeli has been unconscious for what seems like an eternity. She can't respond to me, but she still has a grip on my pinky finger. Hours ago, I thought that was her way of promising she would come back to me, now I just feel like she is trying to comfort me during her long stay away from me.

It's been about three day I think... My mind to focused on her to think about sleeping, eating, hygiene and school. I haven't left her side since, despair weighing heavy on me.

' Alpha, may I come in? ' I hear Amara through the pack link. I just grunt a 'sure' and she walks in. She looks pale and extremely skinnier than usual. I'm not surprised because the whole pack is lifeless without our Luna, the children don't play anymore and the warriors are more savage than usual. I feel bad, especially for the children, Nefeli always told them stories and played with them, now they can barely smile.

"Nate, I have an idea... that can help to wake up Nefeli" she says looking at me. My ears perk and I snap my neck in her direction so fast I could've given myself whiplash.

"What is it, come on tell me" I say eagerly.

"Remember the first time someone tried to shoot your parents? When Nefeli and I caught them? " she says. I nod slowly but then read her tone of voice and I get a bit protective.

"Yes I do, when you touched the man face and chest and he started screaming for the heavens. " I say feeling at edge with the expression she wore.

" I could try to-" "No!" i interrupt her. No way will I put Nefeli through that pain. She looks down and I instantly feel bad for shouting at her.

"You can explain your plan, but I won't promise I will agree with it. " I say to her hoping she will understand the hidden apology in there. She nods before starting.

"I want to try to enter her mind. The reason it hurt them was because I am pure blood and they aren't... or weren't. I attacked their subconscious whilst they were awake and also they didn't give me consent, so it hurt their mental walls... I think. I can't hurt Nefeli because she is also pure blood and she is my sister. " she explained in one breathe, obviously nervous.

" I will give you one try but if she feels any type of pain, whatsoever, I can't promise you I will act reasonably. " I say as a low growl vibrates within my chest.

"Okay please lift her." she says unfazed. I lift her and place her cradled into my chest. Xavier walks in and holds Amara by the waist, to keep her steady.

She caresses Nefeli's cheek and then places a thumb on the centre of her forehead and one on her heart at the left of her chest. Her eyes glow for a minute before they dim. She looks at me and then back at Nefeli. Frowning, she said

"She can't accept me, I need a vessel to connect to her." she says leaning on Xavier.

" Are you sure you can't? Can you try again." I ask her frantically.

"No, I only force force inside if I'm stealing memories and I am not stealing her memories or attacking her, I'm entering her mind to talk to her and get her out. I need a medium to move into her head. Without it I would hurt her or my mind will remain outside my body." she said whilst Xavier pats her chest.

" Ouch you're making the pendant pinch me!" she yelled to Xavier. Her eyes widen and then looks at Nefeli's neck.

"The necklaces! Where is Nefeli's necklace? the half pendant, where is it? she asks me quickly. I think for a moment before I gasp.

"It's at my cabin, I took it off her when we-" I stop myself and Xavier smirks

" Please we are all ears, what did you two do, huh?" Xavier says teasingly.

I get up to walk away, but her hold on my pinky was strong, successfully yanking me back. I look at her hand, then after little thought I lifted her and ran into the forest. I reach in record time and open up the front door. Her scent is still lingering in the place, ignoring it, I run into the room and shift her to my shoulder. I look around the room but I don't find it. I look in the bed but I still don't find it. I look under the bed and I just see her dress. I grab it and as I lift it, her necklace falls down. I grab it and place it in my pocket. As I walk out, I cradled her to me. I run back to the pack house and sprint up the stairs, getting weird looks from pack members. I reach the room and set her down before grabbing the necklace and placing it in Amara's hand.

"Geez man, could of just asked me to get it from your man-cave." Xavier says begrudgingly. He has always asked to see it but I Alpha commanded him 'no'.

" Let me see." Amara says whilst reaching for Nefeli with shaky hands. Xavier holds her and she calms down abit. She places the necklace on her neck and then connects them. The complete pendant made a tree with people under the roots. 'this necklace is twisted' Jake says abit spooked by the image. Amara goes back into the same position as before. Her eyes glow bright and the necklace begins to glow green. Amara's eyes close as the necklace glows a bright green. The smell of nature and purity swallows the room whole. It was suffocating but also calming. Suddenly Amara's body grows limp as she falls on Xavier. He looks worried but calms when he realised what happened.

Nefeli winces in discomfort before calming. I look at Xavier who is staring at Amara. After what felt like hours, I spoke up.

" Xavier, what if they don't come back?" I ask, my voice cracking at the end. He looks to me, ready to give a witty reply but stops when he sees my face. I probably look broken and vulnerable, which is a look not even my parents have seen on me. He looks at me for a moment.

"They will, they have to. When they will, is uncertain though." he says being truthful but gentle.

" If you tell Jace about this moment, I'll crucify you in my cabin." I whilst putting on a poker face. Xavier's eyes brighten when he hears me say my cabin. 'is that really all he heard?' Jake said 'it's Xavier we are talking about, com' on' I reply lightly.

" Anything to see your cabin... About Jace though," Xavier starts. I look to Xavier who is finding the right words. "Don't you think he is a bit careless with Selena, I mean she was cuffed to the locker too but after Nefeli fainted, he went to help you tend to Nefeli. I feel she is not the one?" he says whispering. I nod

" He told me it's as if Sam doesn't want to mark her, as if he doesn't care about her enough to want to be around all the time like mates do." I say to him whispering as well.

" Do you think that maybe Selena used her witchcraft to convince Jace they are mates?" he asks me. Suddenly a thought comes up. I lean forward ready to drop a bomb.

" Remember Cassiopeia? how she left the pack right after Jace annou-" " What are you guys doing?" Jace asks walking in with Selena behind him. They aren't even snuggling together or holding hands.

"Oh nothing really, just whispering so we don't disturb the process, what's up?" Xavier says, the lie smoothly forming.

" Trying to handle pack meetings." he says yawning. ' I feel you brother' Jake says in my head. Selena walks up to him and rubs his back then tries to massage his neck. He grabs her wrists and glares at her.

"Please Selena, not now, I'm tired and you are not helping." he says, frustration on his face. She tears up but leaves the room. What he did next shocked me; he released a sigh in relief.

"How's it going?" he asks looking more energetic. Xavier and I look at each other then I speak up.

" They are doing great-" I'm interrupted by Nefeli grabbing my torso and squeezing me to her. She is saying something but it's almost incoherent. After a while. She stops and relaxes. She grabs my bicep and tries again.

"Nate, Nate" she says continuously. I look at the guys. The necklace dims down then Amara breathes in a breathe grabbing onto Xavier. I disconnect the necklaces and I look at my princess's faces. Waiting.... and waiting. I turn to look at Amara who is also waiting on Nefeli, eyes dimming slightly the more time passes. I drop my head. ' Don't cry in front of them, don't cry my guy.' I hear Jake comforting me. A single tear falls but I don't move to wipe it. I feel delicate fingers brush it off. I knew from the sparks who it was. I look up and immediately look into tear-filled, beautiful Egyptian blue eyes.

My princess is wake.

"Nefeli" I breathe in relief. She smiles and hugs my neck. ' I missed this, I love you, princess...'
