Her head was throbbing, her throat was burning and she felt lost and alone, she could feel her hope seeping away.
It had to be many hours by now and outside everything was eerily silent, she felt a little like she was the last person left in the world.
Her body was longing to stretch, to move just a bit to get the stiffness out, but she had even less space now.
Connor had almost given up when Josh finally took a gasping breath and the blue colour started to reside from his lips, a more healthy colour returning to his face."Fuck Josh, I thought I lost you there". Connor pulled his legs up and put his arms around his knees or the left arm because the right arm wouldn't work and he couldn't hold back the tears.He knew an alpha is not supposed to cry, but Firstly he wasn’t sure he could be considered an alpha any longer, without his wolf… and secondly, right now he didn’t care.Josh coughed violently and slowly sat up, but he would hav
"Oh shit, it is Luke". Josh looked at his phone, even the way it was ringing sounded a bit hysterical.Luke was Josh’s manager and publicist.Connor sent him an apologetic glance. "You better take it, you have to talk to him sometime, so you might as well get it over with"."Hi Luke, I got you on speakerphone, Connor is here too, I need to keep my hands free". Josh said as sweetly as possible, hoping that Luke wouldn't yell too much.They both heard Luke take a big breath of relief, befor
Ami just felt like giving up, but she kept telling herself that is was stupid, she didn't seem to be badly hurt, she was sore yes and had some bruises, but she could move arms and legs and nothing felt broken.She didn't know how long you could go without water, but it was hot, dry and dusty and she didn't think that made it better.When the third after-shock hit, she didn't even react, it was a lot less violent than the other ones, but she still heard the debris move around.The dust settled and suddenly she realised that it wasn't as dark as it
It was getting close to morning, they hadn't seen a human being for hours and Connor was frustrated, wondering where the help was, where were the rescue crews and the volunteers searching for survivors in the rubbles.They were getting close, and he had an urge to run, except he couldn't, he was bone tired, every muscle was sore and his shoulder was throbbing painfully.Another part of him wanted to run away, afraid of what he would find, afraid of being too late, afraid he had to realise that he had lost her forever.He looked at Josh with great worry, there was no longer any doubt that he needed help,
Amelia had dozed off and was awakened by someone rummaging about, she wanted to yell for help, but her voice wouldn't work, she could only manage a small squeaky noise.She was pretty sure she was hallucinating, because that sounded like Josh, but it couldn't be, he couldn't possibly be there.But then she heard a voice she could never be mistaken about, it was Connor, he was okay and he was here, he had come for her."Connor". Her voice was very weak and raw, barely audible more than a couple of feets from her mouth, she mustered all her energy and called again. "Connor ! I'm here".
"Connor what happened to him ?" Ami was scared, she was looking at Josh, and he looked like he was literally dying in their hands.Connor got him down on his back and was listening to his chest. "He got trapped under a falling wall in one of the after quakes, I had to revive him, I think he has a punctured lung".He tried to use his enhanced Wolf senses, feeling and smelling how his friend was feeling, but once again there was no contact to his wolf."You let him go on after that ? Connor for God's sake, he should have been to a hospital". She was afraid that they could do nothing to help Josh.
"Connor, stay here with Josh, I am going to go get Luke and ask if they have a gurney". Ami gave him a quick kiss and stood up.It was pretty clear his first instinct was to tell her to stay and go himself, it was the little bit of Alpha still in him trying to stay in charge. But then he sighed, clearly having realised that she was in much better shape than him right now.Luckily there was room for the helicopter to land only about 100 feets away and Ami ran to meet Luke as he exited, she was a little surprised when she saw him, he looked much younger and more fragile than she had expected from respect the guys seemed to have for him.
The doctors were ready to take Josh into surgery as soon as they landed in front of the hospital, and it was surely needed, doing the flight his breathing had gotten increasingly worse and his pulse had gotten weaker, they had really feared he wouldn't make it to the hospital. They moved him to a real gurney and rolled him off in a hurry, the rest of them walked slowly inside, a nurse came to receive them, she took one look at Connor’s arm and called a doctor. "I will come find you when I have been checked up". Amelia gave Connor a soft kiss before going with the nurse to get a check up. He looked after her like i
