His Alpha's Guardian novel Chapter 11

**Kataleya’s POV**

**TRIGGER WARNING!! THIS CHAPTER CONTAINS CONTENT (MISCARRIAGE) THAT MIGHT BE TRIGGERING TO SOME READERS!!**

My heart stopped the moment that I felt his bond break from me. I let out a loud scream as I collapsed to the ground and everything went dark. I felt someone catch me just as I fell, but I was not able to tell who it was.

I had awoken a little while later and realized that I was still in the clearing. I sat up on my knees, kneeling on the ground, staring at the spot Justin’s body used to be in. I tried feeling for his bond before realizing that it was futile. He was really gone. Our bond was no longer there. I let out a gut-wrenching sob and I just cried. I felt arms wrap around me as someone pulled me back.

I looked behind me to see who was there.

Aziel.

“Come on, Kat, let’s get you looked at,” he said as he tried to coax me to a standing position, but I still refused. I shook my head no and stayed there. We waited there until the very last body had been disposed of before I allowed Aziel to lead me away. By this point, we had been joined by Gael and Oliver. Both of them gave me the space that was needed.

I reached in my head, searching for Skye, hoping that I could find some comfort from my wolf, but I could not find her. She was not even in the deep recessives of my mind…hopefully she appeared to me soon too.

I was angry. Angry at myself. Angry at them. I was angry at him. I wished he had not commanded the three of them to protect me. I could have sent them to him. I knew he needed help. They were the only ones that were not surrounded by rogues, since they were just helping the ones that were attacking me. I should have been better. I should have found a way to get to him and save him. Now, he is gone. I placed a hand on my stomach as I felt a sharp pain in my abdomen. I stopped, doubling over in pain, and Oliver rushed to my side.

“What’s wrong?”

“I don’t know,” I whispered, “Something feels wrong.”

Before I could even say anything else, Aziel had scooped me in his arms and started rushing to take me to the pack hospital. I looked into his eyes and I could tell that he was mindlinking someone, most likely the hospital, letting them know that I was coming and to be ready for me.

Right before we reached the pack hospital, the coppery scent of my blood invaded my nose and I could feel moisture building on my thighs. I looked down and it was only at this point that I had realized that I didn’t have any pants on. I was just wearing an overgrown shirt that Aziel must have slipped on me when he first tried to pull me away.

I almost wanted to tell him to say fuck going to the doctor. I could already tell that I was having a miscarriage. I didn’t want to have to see pity in anyone’s eyes when they realized that not only did I lose my mate, but I also lost my baby. I felt the tears pouring down my face when I realized that I was not strong enough to do this for him. I was not going to be strong enough to move on for him. I could feel myself sinking into a very dark hole, but it did not feel as if there was any way out of this hole. I just hope Justin will forgive me for not being strong enough.

As we walked into the hospital, Dr. Leigh was waiting for me with a stretcher. She thanked them for bringing me and told them that there was no need for them to wait, she would take care of me and make sure that I got home if need be. Aziel and Oliver refused to leave, but they gave Gael permission to return to his mate.

The moment that I was in the room and she shut the door, she began doing her work. She did not talk and for that I was entirely grateful. The only conversation we had was her asking me my pain level and if certain things hurt when she pressed down.

“Kataleya, I am so sorry. You are having a miscarriage. My speculation is that all the stress and trauma that you just went through, caused the miscarriage to happen. By the time you arrived, it was too late. Nothing could be done to save the fetus. I am sorry.” She looked at me sympathetically. “Oh, and Alpha, I am sorry about Alpha Justin. He will truly be missed. If you ever need someone to talk to or need some kind of support, you can always come to me. I will always be a listening ear for you. I wish for you to stay overnight, just so I can keep an eye on you. Tomorrow, I will discharge you.” Those were her final words to me as she slowly left the room, shutting the door behind her.
