Garret's P.O.V

Her pulse was still small. She might have a chance at surviving. I hear her heart beating softly filling my body with hope.

Please be okay.

I just want to have her safe in my arms, playing with my hair and leaving light pecks every now and then on my chest like she does every night.

Oh how I wish we would be in my bed right now, just cuddling, her telling me about her day or her funny rants about school and how she hates homework. Heck I even miss how she would argue with me about the smallest things. Mostly I would start the arguments. Like how she would downgrade herself and I would argue with her about how she shouldn't say that about herself.

Just thinking of the things that we do make my run faster. I need her to be okay.

Shortly after we arrive back at the pack house. I immediately run to the large infirmary and lay her down on the bed. The doctor storms in and instantly checks her pulse and puts IV's into her arm.

"She has a chance. A slim one but there is a chance she will survive this"

"Thanks you so much" I say to him.

"Her body has temporarily shut down from the mark and not being with her mate, so you being in here with her will help her get better. She seems to be unconscious but she might be able to hear you if you talk to her." He says before walking out.

Taking her to the hospital would have been quicker but they wouldn't know why she is like this. The door bursts open to reveal Alex and Dylan. Alice's red puffy eyes show that she has been crying. Tears stream down her face as she see's Emily's frail body lay on the bed.

"Oh Emily" She says before sitting in one of the chairs. Dylan had soft sniffles and sobs as we stayed there by Emily.

"Alpha I came to inform you about something at the school today" Dylan says.

"What happened" I say emotionless, I could care less about what happened to the school, only my mate.

"They called for her all day. We went to the principal to see why and her dad was there. He looked high off his mind looking for her. I fear for her. He had this terrible glint in his eye that made me feel uneasy. I don't want anything to happen to her." Alice says sobbing a bit.

"He's not getting his hands on her. Nor will he ever find her. Our pack house is in the middle of the woods I doubt he will ever find us. Even if he did he wouldn't survive if he tried to take her from me. I would kill anyone for her" I say.

They both nod their heads before we sit in silence for what feels like hours. Heck it probably was.

Eventually Alice and Dylan left to go have dinner with that pack. I'm not leaving her. As I hold her hand I start to feel the sparks and tingles grow stronger.

"E-Emily" I stutter out hoping she will hear my voice. I rub my thumb against her cheek feeling her soft skin. Panting a small kiss on her lips feeling sparks erupt. I feel her lips twitch against mine filling me with hope as I press numerous kisses to her lips hoping she would wake up.

I hear her heart rate pick up like it always does when she is around me.

Her lips start to slowly move against mine. She's awake!

I pull away to see her eyes slowly flutter open but close because of the hectic lighting in the room.

Her eyes open once more and search around the room before landing on me. A huge smile spreads across her face making my heart flutter.

"G-Garret" She stutters.

I go to hug her. Finally my mate is awake and safe in my arms.

"I'm right here baby, I'm not going anywhere"

"She tries to sit up but winced in pain. I help her up. She scoots over to the side so that I can join her on the bed.

That's all I want to do. All I want to do is just lay down and hold her in my arms. While climbing onto the bed I avoid the IV tubes and lay next to her.

She moves to curl up next to me. I hear faint sobs come from her. I look down to see her face stained with tears as she clings to me.

"Shh it's okay now. You'll be okay. I'm not leaving. Ever" I tell her. Her sobs lessen as I wrap my arms around her.

"Thank you" she says. I lean down and whisper in her ear.

"No need to thank me kitten. I will always save you. Until the day I die"
