The Angels Redemption

The Pack Hospital

Brane

As Brane stood at Angelica's hospital bed, watching his baby sister just laying there and not moving, he got furious. "He heard me as I said he should take care of her..." Rita looked at Brane, put her arm around his shoulder and replied: „I had a bad feeling... I do not think it is Christopher's fault though. I think just something really bad happened." Brane looked at Rita and said: „OH! So, you are protecting him now? Have you seen her back? When I called him in the morning, I did not know how bad that was. He is her mate. He is supposed to protect her. He did not even feel that she got injured! What kind of mate is that?" Rita looked sad: „It is just... I don't want to judge him before I know what actually happened." Suddenly the door of Angelicas Room opened, and Christopher was standing there, leaning with his hands on his knees and panting for air.

"BASTARD!" Full of rage, Brane ran towards Christopher. He took his fist and swung it right at Christopher's face.

Christopher

Christopher opened the door to Angelicas room and was greeted by a fist. Not that he thought he did not deserve it. He heard a cracking sound and felt his nose break. As a result of the punch to his face, Christopher fell to the ground. As he was laying on the floor, he contacted his wolf Drake.

"Drake... are you there?"

"Yes..." His wolf answered.

"And I know what you want to ask me. The answer is no." he continued. 

"But I still carry he mark. This is the sign of the bond being there in the first place. how can you say the bond is no longer intact?"

"A broken bond also means a wound has to heal, Chris. It cannot just vanish from one second to the other. It has to heal."

Christopher started crying. But not because he felt his mate's pain. But because he knew their bond had broken. His feelings just vanished, as if they were stripped from his body.

He did not really know why it made him cry so bad when the feelings where gone.

"It is only the bond which is broken. The love, the destined feelings are gone. But you still care. So, she is still our mate technically. I just don't know how this is possible in the first place." Drake continued. 

"I... I just don't know what to do... I just feel like Angelica is mine. But I do not love her anymore. And how could that even happen when something so terrible just took place? Something I probably could have prevented! Brane is going to kill me. I don't know, maybe the bond will be back when Angelica wakes up? I probably should not mention it."  Christopher thought. 

"Maybe it is best if you keep quiet about that matter for now. You are right. And yes, I hope when Angelica wakes up, I can contact Emilia again" Brane said. 

"Do you still feel like Emilia is your mate?"

"No..." Drake said and cancelled the connection.

Christopher stood up. He looked Brane right in the eyes. He saw tears and rage.

"Chris!" Rita shouted. She ran to him and gave him a tissue. "What took you so long to come here? What happened yesterday? Brane said you seemed totally blank?" Rita asked. Christopher looked on the floor, indicating that he did not want to talk about it. He moved towards Angelicas bed, hoping that his feelings for her would return upon touching her. "Don't you dare going near my sister!" Brane shouted and walked between Angelicas bed and Christopher. "You tell me this is not your fault? You tell me she is your mate? And you would've felt something if she was hurting? LOOK AT HER!" Brane was using his Alpha voice. Christopher bowed his head in submission. "I am sorry. You know that. I tried as fast as possible to come here. Please forgive me." As Christopher hung his head, Brane must have realized that Christopher felt terrible. And he realized that they were so in love, if he could have prevented anything from happening, he would have probably given his life. "I am sorry... I just... I don't want her hurting. I want her laugh and joke around. I blamed you. I am sorry" brane cried.

Christopher looked up again and gave Brane a hug. As he was hugging him, he also had to start crying. "I am sorry..." He said once again.

As Brane released Christopher from the hug, he suggested Christopher to walk towards the bed.

Christopher took a chair and sat next to Angelica's bed. She seemed so lifeless. If he would not be able to see her breathing, he would feel like she was dead. Christopher leaned forward to look at her face. Nothing. He felt no romantic feelings. He took his hand and touched her cheek. He felt nothing. Angelica was still important. Somehow it still felt like she was his mate. But he didn't have the urge to kiss or hug or touch her.

As Christopher touched Angelica's check, she started opening her eyes. Angelica had black eyes. He looked in them. They looked so innocent. As she opened her eyes, they widened suddenly. She looked shocked. 

Angelica started to scream out in pain. "Angelica! Angelica you woke up!" Brane said and called the doctor. Angelica grabbed her hair with her hands. It looked like she started pulling it out. She continued screaming and it sounded like she was being tortured. 

Dr. Will entered the room. "What the hell happened? Why is she screaming?" Dr. Will ran to her bed and turned her to the side exposing Angelicas back. Christopher's face went white. It seemed like all his blood dropped out of his head.  There was a huge slit, all the way down from the top of her spine to her bottom. It looked deep. Like someone took a knife and dug it deep inside and just pulled it down. Her Shoulder blades looked broken. She had a weird looking inflamed bump on each of them. Maybe that is from when she was pinned down to basically run a knife through her back? Christopher thought. He was shocked. And Angelicas crying and screaming did not make it better. 

"Christopher! Contact Emilia! NOW! Calm her down, she will feel less pain!" Dr. Will screamed, as he tried to put a syringe to Angelicas back. Probably pain killers. "Why... Why... she didn't heal..." Christopher stuttered. He knew he could not contact Emilia anymore. "CHRISTOPHER DO SOMETHING!" Rita screamed in terror as she was covering her ears. She was trying to block our Angelicas agony.

Christopher just stood there. Incapable of doing anything. 

The Door to Angelicas room opened again. It was Ashley, Olav and Mr. Thaler, Rita's father. 

As Olav realized what was happening, he ran towards Angelica and pushed Dr. Will to the side. 

He took his sunglasses off and forced Angelica to look him in the eyes. A moment later, Angelica seemed like she was sleeping.

"That should do for now" Olav said. "I put her into a coma. I tried to give her nice dreams. She won't feel the pain." Dr. Will looked at Olav and asked: „What are you?" Olav put his sunglasses on again and answered: „I am none of your business".

"Can I see her wound?" Olav asked. Dr. Will, obviously scared of Olav, stood to the side. He nodded his head.

Christopher was still standing there. He could not move. He failed her again. As he started to look around the room, he caught Ashley's eyes. Her beautiful eyes. He now just stood there, staring at a woman which was most definitely not his mate. And if people found out that she sends sparks to his heart whenever he saw her, he would be in big trouble. 

Ashley just stood at the door. She was pale. She was in shock of what she just saw and as she realized Christopher was staring at her she could not help but stare back at him.

"WHAT THE f**k CHRIS!" Brane shouted. "WHY DIDN'T YOU DO SOMETHING? ANYTHING? I JUST STARTED TO BELIEVE YOU HAD NOTHING TO Do..." Olav grabbed Branes shoulders. "He doesn't." Olav said.
