They got to the health center and Peter flung the door of the room open. Denis laid Kelsey on the bed gently and left the room so he could let the doctors tend to her.“She’ll be fine.” Peter said patting his brother on the back. He was shaking in worry. Denis nodded slowly, his eyes darting from one end of the wall to the other as he paced back and forth in a frenzy. About forty minutes later, the doctor came out of the room. He saw the look on the Alpha's face and gave a small smile. ‘No one is above everything after all', he thought to himself.“You can come in.” He said and Denis turned to look at him, he was too absorbed in his own thoughts that he didn’t realize that the doctor was standing in front of the door staring at him. He followed the doctor in nervously and Peter stayed behind.“Will she be okay?” He asked in a soft tone, which was very unusual of him. It shocked the doctor but he kept it to himself.“She'll be fine.” The doctor reassured and Denis let all the air he h
“Have you had anything to eat to today?” The doctor asked Kelsey while jotting down something on his notepad. Kelsey thought long and hard searching her memories for an answer to his question. She only remembers having hot Cocoa and munching on half a bowl of popcorn before Denis came to tell her to get ready for training, she hadn’t eaten any real food since last night when He told her that she had to dump Peter as her trainer and she couldn’t do anything about it, she had felt upset so she didn’t eat anything before she went to bed and she didn’t wake up with an appetite this morning either.“No, I haven’t. I didn’t feel hungry when I woke up.” she told the doctor and he bobbed his head up and down, still scribbling on his note pad.“What does it have to do with me fainting though?” Kelsey asked looking at the needle that connected her veins to the drip that was hung carefully on an iron rod next to her bed.“Your blood sugar level dropped a lot. Did you by any chance experience a
They both helped her up and Denis helped her to the car. He shut the food when she was seated inside comfortably and went back inside to get the drugs from the doctor. He hands the pack of drugs to Kelsey then starts the car. It took a few minutes for them to leave the driveway because of the other cars parked around it.Once the car hits main road, she looked outside the window and let the wind do it’s thing and mess with her hair. She watched as the trees danced to the tune of the wind and how the road sped past them. The road was free, there were only a handful of cars around. She pretended like she didn’t know that Denis was stealing glances at her. If he had something to say, he would say it, eventually.“I’m sorry.” He mumbled but she pretends like she didn’t hear him, she was tired of his half baked apologies and the fact that he always found a way to upset her again and again. It’s an endless cycle. “I said I’m sorry.” He said a little louder so she couldn’t pretend like sh
The next morning, Kelsey feels a lot better than she did yesterday so she decided to go to school. She looks at her face I the mirror, the bruise barely visible anymore and her eye no longer stings. Her head still aches but unlike yesterday, she can barely even feel it.She happily takes her bath and puts on her clothes. She remembers what the doctor said about her meals and she decides to go prepare something for herself before she leaves. As she walks down the stairs, she sights Denis with a tray of food and a frown on his pretty face.“Where do you think you’re going?” He snarled at her.“Uhhh....school.” she said inaudibly. “Huh?” Denis asked, his voice filling the room.“I said I’m going to school.” Kelsey said defensively.“No the hell you’re not!” he thundered and walk towards her climbing the stairs carefully because of the tray he was holding.”“Why not?!” Kelsey screams on top of her voice and Denis slowly closed the gap between them.“For one, you were about to leave the h
“Why are you happy to see me?” Kate said, narrowing her eyes at Denis suspiciously.“It’s Kelsey.” “What’s wrong with Kelsey? Is she okay?” Kate asked and her suspicious face quickly dominated with worry.“She’s been sick all morning and she’s had me go on endless errands. Her mood changes easily, one minute she’s smiling and the next she’s crying. One minute and the next she’s hot. Please help!”Kate smiled at her son's mini tantrum, she can’t remember the last time he ranted to her like this or even needed her help.“It can’t be that bad.” “It’s bad, it’s very very bad.” Denis said dramatically and almost peeled his eyes off. “Fine, I’ll help. Where is she?”“She's in her room upstairs and if she asks why I’m not there to give her a massage, tell her I died.”Kate laughed at her son's pathetic state. He looked haggard, he had an apron tied to his waist and stains and splatters of whatever he was cooking on his shirt. His hair looked rough and he was all sweaty, evidence that he’
“What!!!” Denis yelled, his consonant sharp and precise. He felt all the blood on his body drop from his chest to his feet. He felt his heart rate triple, the sound of his heart drumming against his chest filled the room. “Y..yo..you...you're pregnant?” He asked again hoping her answer would miraculously change because he heard it wrong but he didn’t and it didn’t.“Yes, I’m pregnant.” She said it again, louder and bolder, she probably didn’t stress the last word but it sounded louder, it carried more weight than he ever imagined a word could carry. Kelsey was enjoying every last bit of it “How? How did you get pregnant? “He asked dryly trying to pretend that the ache in his chest was not there.Kelsey stared at him, wondering if he really wanted her to answer the question he just asked or not. There was silence, more evidence that he was waiting for an answer.She put down the tray and started to demonstrate with her hands all the things she couldn’t say with her mouth.“Uhmm...whe
A few days turned into a week, a week turned into a month and now the competition was just in a few hours. Kelsey was nervous but she was trying her best not to show it. “Are you ready?” Denis asked fiddling with the handle of the tiny suitcase he packed for the both of them.“I think this things is broken.” He yelled and pushed it aside. Kelsey watched him, too hazed by her own worries to laugh at the man-child in front of her.“It’s not broken, you have to push the button on the top to pull out the handle.” She said and showed him.“I didn’t know there was a button, it wasn’t bold enough, anyone would have missed it.” He said and quickly folded his arms, he was a tad too defensive.“Sure.” Kelsey answered wryly.“Are you ready?” he asked again and she nodded. They were to first assemble at the training ground, all the competitors and their trainers were to leave in buses prepared for them by the host pack. When they arrived at the training center, it looked different that it did
“Uhh..nice to meet you Alina.” Kelsey shook Alina's hands, her grip was strong, intimidating, hateful even. Kelsey was surprised how much she could tell by just one handshake, maybe Alina wanted to make it pretty obvious or maybe her eyes were doing more of the talking.“So Kelsey, how did you two meet?” Alina sipped a little out of her glass and gave her a really condescending look. Kelsey was not quite sure if they’ve met before and even if they have, she couldn’t have done anything to deserve this kind of merciless scrutiny. “We actually met at. . .” Kelsey was saying but Alina was not up for the chit chat so she didn’t let her finish before she threw the bomb.“I heard a rumor that you can’t sense your mate.” She practically yelled it to get the attention of the whole room, which by the way, she did.Everyone was staring at her and whispering to each other, all their smiles turned upside down in the twinkle of an eye. She could feel all the hair on her body stand erect. The way t
