Her Second Chance Alpha

Chapter 7 Jasons POV

Earlier in the same day, while Holly was in Andra's Realm:

Holly is still unconscious. There hasn't been any change in her condition since we first brought her in. Sara, Eric, and I were taking shifts to make sure someone was always there with her in case she woke up. I took the first watch through the night. I've watched her monitors constantly, looking and hoping for any change and signs that she might wake up soon.

The morning light is starting to stream into the hospital through the windows as daybreak approaches. Knight and I don't want to leave her at all, but we have to deal with the four youngsters who had been at the bar when Holly collapsed.

It was now seven in the morning, and Sara had just walked into Holly's hospital room to sit with her while Eric and I found out what had happened last night.

"Morning Alpha, how is she?" Sara asked, setting her things down on the chair in the corner of the room and turning to look at her friend.

Knight whimpers, still very worried about his mate, "She's okay, but still no change yet." I wonder how long it will take to get the results of the labs back from The Halo Pack? I made a mental note to ask the doctor about it. "If anything happens, mind link me," I said, and kissed Holly's temple.

Sara was now beside Holly's bed, holding her hand. She nodded her head. "Yes, Sir, I'll let you know immediately."

I left the hospital and made my way back to the pack house to take a quick shower before heading to the meeting. Only the Alphas, Betas, and Gammas live in the pack house; the rest of the pack members have their own individual homes throughout the pack lands. It's a two-story antebellum-style home, just way bigger than you might think. Like five times as big. There were large pillars all the way around with a balcony that also wrapped around the home.

The pack house had been designed in the shape of a square that was open in the back with a large garden in the middle. The center of the house and the basement were for the entire pack. It held the offices, ballroom, kitchen, dining room, game rooms, and indoor gym. The right wing held the private residence for the Alpha, Beta, and Gamma. The left wing of the house had spare rooms for visitors. The pack house was always full of life, just the way I liked it.

I made my way to the Alpha residence at the end of our wing. Here, the quiet was deafening. Before I found my mate, I didn't spend a lot of time there for that reason. I preferred my office in the middle of all the chaos of the house. Now I can't wait to show Holly it and have her turn it into a true home. Somewhere that I can't wait to escape to be with my family at the end of the day.

Knight howled in my mind, "I can't wait to see our mate swollen with our pup." He says, wagging his tail with his tongue hanging out.

Just the thought of seeing our mate pregnant with our pup and the thought of exactly how that pup would get in there had me twitching in my pants. Goddess, this was not the time to have thoughts like this, as our mate was still lying unconscious in the pack hospital.

I made my way to the master bath and turned the shower on as cold as it would go to cool my raging hormones. I stripped out of my clothes, the evidence of my sudden desire for my mate springing up and throbbing once free from my boxers. I stepped into the shower, hissing as the bite of the cold water hit my skin. That has done the trick for now. With my mind clear from dirty thoughts, I showered quickly, ready to get the meeting done so I could go back to my mate's bedside.

"Boss, you ready yet?" My Beta mind links me as I finished getting dressed.

"I'm on my way now. I'll meet you there," I said, and cut the link.

Making my way through the pack house, I saw it start to come to life. The cooks are in the kitchen getting everything ready for breakfast for everyone. With it being Saturday, that meant a full day of training for everyone who was over the age of 13.

Everyone is in the office when I arrive. Eric stands on the left side of my desk, while the four young men are all lined up in front, waiting for me. Mike Williams, Aaron Landry, Zackary Evens, and Jameson Calhoun.

Upon entering, they all bow their heads to me in respect. I know they can tell Knight is also present, as my eyes swirl with his red color, and he releases some of his Alpha aura.

Knight is not happy right now; he knows these pups had something to do with his mate's condition, even if it was unintentional. A small growl rumbles from my chest as Knight makes sure they all know just how pissed off he is.

"So what happened yesterday at the bar?" Looking pointedly at Mike as I asked the four of them. Holly and her wolf's anger had been directed solely at him last night, so he must have done something to trigger her. Aaron, Zack, and Jameson all looked at Mike, confirming my suspicion that he was the main cause of the conflict.

"We didn't do anything to the Rogue Alpha. She must not have been watching what she was doing and tripped," Mike said, all nonchalantly shrugging his shoulders.

Knight growls and comes forward, taking over control. "You might want to watch how you speak about my mate and your Luna!" He says, slamming his fist on my desk.

All the color drains from the boy's face. Mike has the audacity though to look repulsed by what Knight said, and that just infuriates my wolf even more.

"There is no way a rogue can be our Luna," Mike says in disbelief.

I'm around my desk with my hand wrapped around Mike's throat within seconds, squeezing just enough to cut off his oxygen slightly. Knight is now ready to rip the kid apart for talking about his mate like that.

"SHE IS YOUR LUNA!" My wolf roared. "I think you'd better be very careful about what you say next, pup, or the only rogue there will be is you, if you're even that lucky. Do I make myself clear?" Knight says as a menacing growl rips from my chest. His aura is so thick right now it's almost suffocating.

Mike nods his head the best he can with my hand still wrapped tightly around his neck.

"Yes, Alpha," he mutters as he struggles to breathe. His eyes still hold some contempt and defiance. I turned to the other three boys, my Alpha aura suffocating them, it's just that strong.

"Yes, Alpha," they say, trembling where they stand.

"We need to keep an eye on this one," I said to Knight, watching Mike carefully through my wolf's eyes.

"Leave," Knight growled, dropping the pup and making his way back to my desk. He gives me back control now as I hang my head, trying to control my own anger as it boils in my veins.

"We need to go to mate NOW!" Knight suddenly yells out, causing me to jump out of my seat and sprint for the door and take the stairs as fast as possible, nearly falling a couple of times in my haste to get to the hospital.

Eric is following behind. "Dude, slow down, what is going on?"

Stopping at the front door, I slung it open and turned to my Beta. "I don't know, Knight says Holly needs us!" I said and sprinted out the door and down the steps. Running the short distance to the hospital, there are a few pack members around the house that cast a curious gaze at their Alpha, who now looks like some deranged wolf.

All the nurses also looked at us nervously as we ran down the hallway to Holly's room. I sling the door open and Sara nearly jumps out of her skin when it bounces off the door stopper and sees her brother and I standing there looking like mad men.

"What's going on?" She asked as she raised her feet, looking behind us for any sign of danger.

"Has anything happened since I left this morning?" I asked Sara as I rushed to check on my mate. Checking for any sign that she may have been hurt. But there's nothing, no bruises, cuts, or marks on her skin.

Sara looks just as confused as Eric. Neither one of them understood my sudden need to be with Holly. "No, there hasn't been any change. She has just been sleeping."

I continue to check her over, making sure I haven't missed anything. Everywhere our skin touched the bonds, tingling spread throughout my hands.

"Knight told him Holly needed him," Eric tells his sister. The three of us are all confused as to what was going on and why my wolf would say she needed us, as if she were in immediate danger.

Just then, a small groan comes from her lips, and we are all surprised. My heart nearly jumps out of my chest. She is finally waking up, but how did Knight know it was about to happen? I wonder to myself.

Moving my hands, I cupped her cheek and begged her to wake up. "Please open your eyes," I whispered to her. She tries to bury her face in my hand. It seems the mate bond is affecting her, too. A smile spreads across my face when her eyes slowly open, and I'm met with a beautiful pair of blue/ gray eyes that take my breath away.

"MATE," Knight and I said together.
