She sighed, she just wants to snuggle up to him, kiss him, hear his soft laughter, see that special smile that always brightened her entire day, but he was never smiling or laughing these days and he wouldn't let her touch him.
The doctor had promised to come talk to him, he had been expecting that there was something wrong and what she told him just confirmed that, he was almost sure it was a serious depression.
She had thought that it had to be fixable, bu
Josh was resting on his bed, staring up into the ceiling, he had a giant knot in his stomach, he had never in his life been this confused and torn apart.He had been very surprised when Connor out of the blue told him it would be okay for him to go after Amelia.Was it just random lashing out, because Josh was the one who was there, because Connor knew he would protect her or did he know something ? Had he seen through him ?Josh thought he had been very discreet, he knew it was wrong of him to be harbouring feelings for her and normally he would never even consider acting on them, he couldn't do that t
Amelia was right, Conner refused both medication and therapy, he didn't think it necessary, and said that there was nothing wrong with his head. An Alpha did not need things like that.The doctor had no doubt at all that he had a very severe depression and he had made a note for everyone to be watching him closely, he was in high risk of suicidal behaviour.It had been a week and Josh was still progressing fast, he could walk short distances on his own, if he walked slow, and he was burning to start running again, but the doctors wouldn't let him.
Amelia didn't know what had gotten into her, she shouldn't be kissing Josh, but the way he had looked at her had simply knocked her off her feet and she had reacted on pure instinct.Josh froze up and she could feel his heart beat so hard she got afraid if it could be dangerous for him.She was about to pull away, to excuse her behaviour, she had clearly read him all wrong, which was a good thing, because this was so wrong.But then it was li
Connor lay on his bed, staring at the ceiling. He didn't know what to do. He felt his life was over and done. He had nothing left to live for and he actually just wanted to be free. He sighed, Amelia would have a much better life without him. She deserved so much better. She deserved someone like Josh. But he couldn't even do anything about it, he was so pathetic that he probably couldn't even manage to take his own life, how would he do it when he couldn't walk. Also even if his wolf was a total no show, even with the bracelet removed, he wasn’t su
Amelia had never been this scared in her entire life, not even during the earthquake, she wouldn't be able to bear if anything had happened to him, if he had done something stupid. But then she spotted him, he was laying in the grass on the brink by the lake. At first she was afraid he had fallen, but he was relaxed and had his hands behind his neck, staring into the sky, looking like he had an internal conversation with himself. Connor heard her approach, he knew it was her and for just a moment a smile graced his lips and he whispered. "Thank you". She squatted down next to him and sent him a loving but lightly reproachful glance. "Connor, what are you doing here ? Everyone is looking for you". "Hi Ami, I needed some fresh air, needed to get away for a bit". He had a hard time seeing her, because she was sitting at his right side. She lay down next to him and he knew without being able to neither see nor feel it, that she grabbed his hand, a stab of pain ran through his heart,
"I don't know, I thought there might be a change, but no it is still the same with him". Amelia pressed herself into Josh, sobbing and he put his arms protectively around her. It was three days later and Amelia had thought she saw a change in Conner that day by the lake. She had hoped it was a light in the darkness, but ever since he had been back exactly where he was before, keeping her at an arm's distance. Josh sighed and rested his cheek on the top of her head. "I hoped to darling, hoped so much". She felt it again, her brain and heart was a big mess of tangled threads, pulling in all directions, getting more and more entwined and she couldn't find the one to pull to unravel it all. So she did the only thing that kept it all from falling apart these days, she let her mouth find Josh’s and kissed him like it was her only way of breathing. Her hands found his soft curls, he had let them grow out and he looked younger with them, she loved those curls. He moaned when she pulled
One week later "Hi Connor, how are you ? You look much better". Amelia came into his room, she still had no luck getting through to him and her hope was slowly dying. He looked up at her, at least he reacted, but his eyes were still cloudy and empty. "Do I ? Well I hadn't noticed". "Connor please, I heard the doctor say that you were making progress, that your legs have gotten much better". She smiled at him happily. She had been so happy when she heard the doctor tell a nurse, but she didn't understand why no one had told her. He looked out the window. "It is nothing special, nothing to get worked up about, it probably won't get any better than this". "Please don't say that, when it has started getting better, then there is hope for more progress". She smilingly put her hand on top of his. He pulled his hand away like she had literally burned his skin. "Just don't Ami, don't think that just because I can take a couple of fucking steps on my own, I will be okay in a moment, I
Josh opened the door to Conner’s room, he was sitting in a chair, talking to the doctor and looked up with confusion when Josh walked in without knocking. "Hi Josh, what are you doing here ?" "I hope that it is okay, I would like a word with Conner alone". Josh looked at the doctor, the doctor looked at Conner who nodded, then the doctor got up and left. Conner looked up at him, his eyes asking questions. "What is it Josh ? I thought you would be with Ami". "I was Conner, we have to talk about this". Josh sighed, at least Conner seemed to be present, he actually looked directly at him. Conner bit his lip. "I already know Josh. I could see it between you two right away, it is okay, I harbour no ill feelings towards any of you". "Well you should. You should be furious with me. You should slap me into next week for God's sake". Josh couldn't handle him, seemingly not caring. Conner sighed and slowly stood up; it made Josh happy to see him being able to do that on his own now. "Jos
