A weekend with the Alpha novel Chapter 128

The doctor walked out of the ward and over to the waiting room where Lionel, and Sesi stayed. Lionel paced around in circles and Sesi sat with her head bowed and arms crossed over her chest.

Aaron had gone for a walk after he came out from Zera's ward an hour ago. He was barely himself and though they worried about him, they couldn't stop him. Ivan decided to follow and keep an eye on him and charged Sesi with the responsibility of keeping an eye out of Zera's ward to make sure only the doctors went in.

Lionel was first to notice the doctor and nurse's presence and he stopped pacing around in a circle and walked towards the door where they stood. "How is she?" he asked, his eager eyes dancing all over the doctor.

Sesi rose to her feet and stepped towards the doctor, all prepares to get either good news or bad.

"Mr Adams, Ms Hart," the doctor's voice calls out, "I don't know what sort of miracle happened in the last hour, but the patient is awake."

Lionel exhaled in relief, and his eyes fluttered briefly. "Can we see her then?" he asked.

"Is Zera awake?" they heard Aaron's voice ask from behind the doctor and they all turned to him.

He bobbed his head. "The injuries she sustained in the accident are mysteriously gone, so I can say she is. But there are a few abnormalities with her. She threw the heart monitor into the wall, destroying the whole thing. Such strength is surreal for someone unconscious an hour ago." he finished before adding, "please be careful."

They wasted no more time before running towards the hall that led to Zera's ward. Lionel who took the lead, push open the ward and walked inside, but there was no trace of Zera in the room.

She had yanked at the needle plugged into her arm out and tossed it onto the floor before taking off.

"She's gone!" Lionel said with a quick gasp. His eyes moved to the damaged heart monitor on the floor at the corner of the room, just like the doctor said before turning to the Harts behind him.

"Fuck!" Aaron cussed out in frustration, throwing a fist at the wall and making the ward shake.

Sesi looked up at him and her eyes told him to stay still.

"I have to go after her," he said.

"You can't!" Ivan spoke up, stepping further into the room.

"Is that a threat?!" Aaron demanded with his voice rising.

Ivan maintained his calmness even as he spoke. "It's an advice. She's a sage and you're better off staying away from her."

"What's a sage?" Lionel asked, turning to Sesi, who stood closest to him. He was the only one hearing the name for the first time, and curiosity appeared in his voice.

"Then so be it." he seethe and turned to him, his hand balled into a fist.

Ivan stepped forward. "That's foolishness speaking, brother. There's a better way around this and no one has to die, but if you go now, we will never get to it."

"He's right!" Sesi spoke up, "You need to think about Zion and what your decision might mean to him. He still needs his father and you may not have forever, but you still have time with him and you should live it out by his side more than anywhere else."

"I agree if Zera is really a sage and dangerous, you might be at a disadvantage with her than anyone else," Lionel said, finally catching on with everything being said.

Aaron heaved a deep sigh and ran a hand through his hair. "She's out there, confused and alone, with no one to help or lead her."

"She's not alone," Ivan told him, and he turned to see his brother already dream walking.

"Where is she?" he asked.

"Everywhere," he answered.
