The Shadow Alpha novel Chapter 50

A million thoughts ran through my mind, how would I know if he was okay if I couldn’t contact anyone?

Just as the thought struck me, a loud bang shook the room I was in and my senses were automatically heightened sensing danger around me.

“Jacob!” a voice screamed and seconds later I was being yanked from the bed and into a pair of strong arms.

“You’re alive…” a breathy voice panted in relief and I smiled inwardly knowing he was okay, better than okay actually.

“Jake, what are you doing? Put her down!” Dristan scolded, but Jake didn’t make a move.

“She told me she was dead.” He muttered out loud, but more to himself.

“Who told you that?” Dristan asked, seeming both angry and confused.

“That… I don’t know.” he trailed off and I just knew he was blushing, I cackled inwardly. He slipped up.

“You were in a coma Jake…” Dris informed him worriedly and he sighed.

“I know. I heard Doctor Lorez speaking to Rosie and Tatiana. How long have I been out for and what the hell happened to Allison?” I was slightly shocked that he was still here and not with his mate, what is wrong with him?

“Nine days. You fell into a coma while Allison drew the Silver toxin from your body. The poison nearly killed you. She saved your life.” Jake tensed at the news.

Nine days, I gasped, it’s been that long?

“At the cost of her own?” He muttered his thoughts out loud.

“What am I going to do with you Allie cat?” he sighed deeply and tightened his arms around me as if he thought I’d disappear.

There was a pregnant silence, no one made a move. The only sound was that of their breathing and the shuffling and muffled sounds of pack members around the territory.

“It was you… Crap, it was you!” he realised, I imagined him wide eyed staring at me with a blush on his cheeks; it was cute and funny at the same time.

“What are you talking about, Jake?” Dris asked puzzled yet again.

“Allie… She linked me, I didn’t even realise it was her, dammit I thought it was my conscious.” He answered regretfully.

“Sorry bro, we tried to contact her, but her walls are up and we can’t get past it.” he sighed.

Oh no, it’s a reflexive block

Jake cursed under his breath and Dristan burst out laughing a moment later.

“You thought Allison’s voice was your conscious? You thought your conscious was a girl!” he howled in glee.

Jake grumbled moodily and placed my body down on the bed again, as he stomped out of the room, Dristan’s laughter followed him, adamant to torment him.

Those two brothers of mine, can’t live with them, can’t live without them. I thought as I recalled all their outrageous past antics.

My mind drifted off to Papa Jamie. Concentrating hard I got into his mind and instantly wished I hadn’t.

‘Hmm, look at that ass so-’ I broke the connection as quick as I could.

Oh my goodness I’ll be scarred for life!

Well at least now I know he’s okay. I giggled to myself.

‘Shadow?’ I called excitedly as I felt her stir in my mind.

‘Allison?’ she answered, sounding tired and I immediately felt bad.

‘I’m so sorry Shadow, I’m really sorry for putting you through that. I should have been more careful and taken better care of you.’ I apologised miserably, I never gave thought to her well-being when I acted so impulsively.

‘Oh Allison, don’t apologise to me my dear. We both are one; you have done nothing that I wouldn’t have done myself. You have made me proud my dear and I am just fine. I may have taken a while to recover, but I feel good, do not worry.’ Her tranquil voice reassured me. I hadn’t realised how much I missed her presence till now.

‘Thank you Shadow, thank you for always supporting me and having my back. You’re everything a girl could ask for in a wolf and I love you.’ declared sincerely and she mirrored my feelings.

Despite draining my energy to the point of falling into a coma, I couldn’t be more delighted to have won the battle against the rogues and I really hope that all of their camps have been destroyed as well, but I guess I will have to wait to know the outcome of my plans.

I just wish I knew the name of that asshole whose throat I had the pleasure of ripping out.
