Hiding His Baby: The Alpha's Rejected Mate novel Chapter 42

“Doctor! Doctor! Where the fuck is everyone?!” Dominic’s loud voice boomed in the hospital, shaking the building

But nothing could express what he was feeling. He was feeling as if he would die at any moment. The breath would leave his body any moment and at the same time someone was clenching his heart by taking it in hands. He was in pain. Too much pain.

But he wasn’t feeling this pain because of the mate bond or anything because that bond was gone. It was gone in a way where he couldn’t feel it even a little bit.

The pain he was feeling was coming from inside. He couldn’t bear to look at Athena, fighting for her life. It was all his fault. He won’t be able to forgive himself if something happens to her.

Heck, he would die! What’s happening to him?!

“Oh my god, alpha. She is in a very bad state. It’s going to be hard saving her.” The doctor said immediately after he saw the state of Athena.

She was almost dead. Her heartbeat was hardly there. She was breathing very slowly as well. It looked like she would stop breathing any moment now. Her beautiful face lost all its colour then. The thought of her not getting it back again was scary!

“You fucking need to save her! Do you understand that?! I want you to save her at any cost! At any fucking cost! Otherwise you better count your last breath as well!” Dominic growled out loudly while going out of control. The doctor gulped in fear when he realised that his alpha wasn’t kidding. But he needs to act professionally at that moment.

“She is losing too much blood, alpha. And just like the last time, her healing ability is still weak and it’s near non-existent as well. It seems like her wolf is either too weak or dead already. I am sorry but there is hardly any way to save her!” The doctor tried to make him understand once again but Dominic wasn’t having any of it.

“What the fuck do you mean?! You have to save her! want her alive! There has to be a way to save her.” He asked in desperation. He suddenly felt his body going cold and numb.

No! This can’t happen. He can’t lose her! Not after realising what she meant to him! He just fucking can’t lose her!

“There is actually a way, alpha.” The doctor suddenly spoke up, taking all the attention back to him. His eyes widened as soon as he heard him.

“What is it?” He asked hurriedly, not wanting to waste a single second in the process.

“Her mate.” The doctor stated, confusing Dominic. He suddenly went silent when he realised what the doctor meant. His silence confused Nathan and that’s when he decided to speak up for the first time.

“Her mate? How can that help her?” He asked.

“Yes, beta. Only her mate can help her at this moment. Mate bonds have divine power. Moon goddess has blessed mates with this for a reason. Just like declining the mate bond can kill the other person, they also hold the power to save each other. So, you need to bring her mate here anyway possible.” The doctor said while trying his best from his side by starting to clean up her wounds and all.

“Her mate… but.., it’s…” Dominic was at a loss for words as he looked around in confusion. He couldn’t think straight

“What’s wrong, Dominic? You are her mate, right? Go and save her!” Nathan exclaimed with a frown or confusion. Even though he had a lot of questions, he kept them to himself.

“No…” Dominic mumbled out while looking down. Nathan frowned after hearing him.

“What do you mean by that? Aren’t you her mate? But you said that there, in the fight…” Nathan trailed off i n confusion, trying to make sense of what was happening.

“I know because I… was… her mate. We don’t have a connection anymore… I don’t know how that is possible but something is wrong and now I don’t know what to do.” Dominic said in helplessness as he couldn’t think of a way at that moment.

He felt weak…

“You said she had a second chance mate. Maybe he can help. Do you know who her second chance mate is?” Nathan asked with a frown when he realised that his friend was giving up on thinking. So, he took the responsibility.

“No, I don’t know…. …. just know…. Is..is it possible.” Dominic mumbled in confusion and blackness. His mind was completely blank as his eyes were stuck on Athena’s lifeless face. Nathan looked at him in utter confusion but before she could ask or say something, he heard his mate’s voice.

“Where is she? How’s she? And second chance mate? What are you guys talking about? She doesn’t have a second chance mate.” Suzanne exclaimed in shock and worry. It was clear from her teary eyes and cheeks that she cried on her way here.

“How can you be so sure?” Nathan asked with a frown while taking her in his arms first to comfort her.

“What do you mean by that?! I have lived here for three years. I may not know her past but I know her present enough. She doesn’t have a second chance mate. She had only one mate who rejected her. Maybe we can find him and save her. We need to save her.” Suzanne scowled at Dominic in anger before worry came down on her face again. She cried out loud while hugging Nathan as soon as she saw Athena’s lifeless face.

“Oh my goddess! What happened to her, Nathan? It wasn’t supposed to happen to her.” She cried on his chest.

“Shh… She is going to be okay. We just need her mate.” Nathan spoke up while looking at Dominic with a frown, he waited for him to say something.

“No, her first mate can’t help her…” Dominic opened his mouth while looking at Athena blankly.

“What do you mean? How do you know that?” Suzanne asked with a frown.

“I...I just know… We need to save her… find some other way.” Dominic ordered while looking away from them, his face was getting blank.

He slowly started to believe that there was no other way other than going to Derrick who actually could b e her mate. But… He just can’t accept that. The thought almost destroyed him. Just when he was losing hope, they all heard a new voice.

“There is no other way, big alpha boy. Only you can save her.”

Everyone looked at the entrance of the corridor and found Irene along with Clement standing there. Dominic recognized her immediately because she was the reason he could reach Athena actually.

But was it to any use now?

“Witch?! How dare you come to my territory again and how dare you talk to me like that?” Dominic growled at her.

“I am not your pet, alpha. That tone doesn’t work for me. So, I am not going to be afraid of you. Not at least in a situation like this where her life is more important than these silly fights. Because trust me, it it wasn’t for that pretty bitch, I wouldn’t have stepped foot here.” Irene snapped at his annoyance as she walked toward him and stood just in front of him with her head held high.

“How do you know her?” Suzanne suddenly asked with a frown. Irene rolled her eyes at her.

“That’s a story for another time. Just concentrate on saving her.” Irene snapped before looking back at Dominic

“How can we save her?” Dominic asked with a deep frown, the desperation was clear in his tone.
