Rejected, Mute and Completely Broken

Chapter 10: The living hell

Lana P.O.V

Again ... beeping ... it was like I was stuck in a constant place where the beeping of the machines ruled my life. I heard people talking in the far distance, but no matter how much I ran around in this hell hole, I never found them. My whole body ached all over as I ran in search of the voices. As with the previous times that this happened, I tried to push my eyes open, forcing them to see the light of day but they felt way too heavy. Were these my final moments? Was I dead? Did my brothers finally take enough pity on me to release me from the forever torture they had me in?

I felt tingles shot up my right hand. How could this be possible? Was my mate around here as well? Did those three idiots also beat Alpha Alexander to a pulp? My head started to hurt from all the back and forth thinking. I felt my hand starting to get wet. I looked down at it and saw some droplets. I looked up at the black sky but there weren't any clouds around. Finally, it felt like the weight had been lifted off of me as I saw a white door. Knowing exactly how this would work, I opened the door and walked right through.

I finally managed to open my eyes. It took quite a few blinks before I finally managed to take in the surroundings once more. I saw the doctor at the foot end of the bed, staring at me with a concerned expression. I looked over to the side and saw Alpha Alexander sitting there, holding my hand, tears stained on his cheeks. I looked right behind him to see Dermont standing there as well. Why was Alpha Alexander crying ... and where were my brothers?

"Lana?" I heard the doctor say after she cleared her throat. I turned my attention back to her, wanting her to tell me what happened. I just stared at her, furrowing my brows. Thankfully, she seemed to catch on to what I was trying to ask her. "Lana ... can you remember what happened?" the doctor asked me as she walked over to the other side of the bed and took off her stethoscope to listen to my heart. I just shook my head and waited for her to finish doing her internal sound checks or whatever it was she was doing.

She just sighed as she took a seat right next to me on the bed. It was only when I looked down at my arm that i realized how skinny it was. How long was i here for? I lost a tone of weight. I looked at the strands of hair that cascaded over my chest ... it looks like they have managed to grow some bit, but my hair looked so dull ... it looked like I haven't even given them the single bit of care to make it look natural.

All of a sudden a flashback hit me ... the night I got rejected, the night where I thought I would surely die. I felt a pain in my chest starting to rise and I knew this wasn't good. I heard the doctor mumbling some stuff in the background, instructing me to keep quiet ... but how could I? I felt Alpha Alexander leave my hand as he too stood up. He sat on his side of the bed and cupped my face in both his hands. I couldn't think straight, it felt like I was suffocating inside. My eyes diverted from his the whole time. I didn't want him to touch me. Why cant they just leave me alone? Why did he have to rescue me?! I felt the tears form in my eyes as my vision got blurry from them.

"Lana, look at me ... focus on my voice. I need you to calm down" Alpha Alexander kept on repeating, over and over again. He finally managed to calm me down when he abandoned the soft talks and pulled me straight into his chest, holding me there until my body was finally able to still. I sat there for goddess knows how long. I didn't want to have him close to me, yet the feeling of my head against his chest, listening to his heartbeat made a sudden calmness wash all over me.

I placed a hand against his chest, trying to show him that I was alright and he could let go of me now. Slowly, he pulled away but he still sat there on the bed, looking at me intently. "Lana ... ever since I found you that night ... you were in a coma for almost two months. I really thought you wouldn't wake up and that you wouldn't come back to me. You had significant injuries, inflicted by your brothers and other members of your old pack. I don't know why they did that to you. You don't deserve any of that. I can't handle it ... seeing you like this. So broken, so scared. But you don't have to be scared of anything here. With me, the doctor and Dermont over there, no harm will come to you. I will make sure of that" Alpha Alexander started off before sighing and pinching the bridge of his nose.

"Your brothers being here the other day ... it took us by surprise. They managed to charm the panties off a nurse to let them come in here. I don't know how they had managed to even get here without either myself or Dermont knowing of it. I am just glad that Dermont came to check in on you when he did" he continued. I just sighed before rolling over on my side and closing my eyes. I didn't want to hear any more of this. I knew that my brothers would never stop, they will always find a way to get back at me ... to make my life a living hell.
