The Rebellious Omega

Blair POV

My father sounded envious "Your mother and I never had the kind of love you two have for each other. Everything you've gone through, everything you've done together, I can only wish to have that with a second chance mate if the Moon Goddess sees fit to grant me one. I know that you're scared" he continued, gripping my hand tightly "but if you continue to believe in the worst that can happen, you'll always forget that there are such things as miracles and that beauty surrounds us. Don't give up, just because things are hard right now." I swallowed hard past the lump in my throat. "You're right" I whispered "I have to start believing that Braedon will come back to me."

I reached out and stroked some of Braedon's hair, giving a watery smile. The soft silken strands slipped through my fingers. I kissed his cheek, "Braedon" I whispered, cupping his cheek "I know you're in there" I said my chest tightening "I know that you can hear me. You have to come back. I need you and our unborn child needs you. I need Lucian too" I added, including his wolf "I need both of you with me. I refuse to raise our child on our own and I know you won't make me do that. I swear, if you don't wake up" I warned him as my father looked on approvingly "I will shake you until you do." Another doctor came wandering in, a stethoscope around his neck, his hair mussed. I gave him a side glance, not paying much attention, and then frowned, wondering why there was a new one and not the female that had been overlooking Braedon and keeping an eye on his vitals. Why hadn't I been informed that another doctor was treating my mate? I became suspicious.

"Where is Dr Sandra?" I asked confused.

The male blinked at me "She asked me to check in on the patient. She's on a break" he stammered slightly.

On break? Then why couldn't this wait until after? It hadn't been long since she had left the room. My father was busy glancing out the window, a dark look on his face. The doctor had a slight scar on his face, as though he'd been in a fight recently and it was still in the process of healing. He was clutching a clipboard, and as he moved around Braedon, I narrowed my eyes, wondering what was making me feel on edge. His name badge read Dr Rivers.

"How long have you been working here?" I asked politely as he took down notes of the monitors, scribbling away on his clipboard, and nodding to himself.

"Five years," he said casually.

He dropped his clipboard and blushing, picked it up. "Forgive my clumsiness" he laughed awkwardly.

He was in his mid-thirties, and quite youthful-looking, but there was just something off about him. Maybe I was being overly sensitive because of the situation, but I didn't feel comfortable about him checking over my mate. I wanted Dr Sandra to come back. I gave a light cough and fixed my eyes on Dr Rivers who was edging closer to Braedon.

"I'm sorry but I would prefer Dr Sandra look over my mate. She's been with us from the beginning and I feel more comfortable with her" I said as forcefully as possible.

I didn't care if I offended him.

He looked angry now. "I am just as good as a doctor" he protested, making my father turn around "And your mate needs medication put into his cannula, which is desperately needed" he added, withdrawing a syringe from his doctor's coat.

My instincts screamed something was wrong. It wasn't normal practice for a doctor to hide a syringe in their coat, even if it was more convenient. He moved swiftly, grabbing Braedon's wrist, but I threw myself over my mate, tackling the male doctor before he could plunge the syringe into Braedon. My father rushed over, kicking the syringe away and hoisting Dr Rivers to his feet, as footsteps sounded outside the door, several warriors bursting in along with a panicked-looking Dr Sandra and several pale-looking nurses. "You damn b***h" the man shouted, as he struggled in my father's grasp.

Dr Sandra pointed at him "Get that man, he stole Dr River's scrubs and left him unconscious. He's one of our pack members but I don't know why he would do this" she added, the warriors surging forward. One of the warriors had a syringe which they pricked the imposter with, which must have been loaded with wolfsbane. My father handed him over to the warriors who were grim-faced and also slightly embarrassed.

"Luna Queen I'm so sorry about all of this, we should have put guards outside your room," she said apologizing.

I pointed to the syringe on the floor "he was trying to put that in my mate's arm" I said, glaring at the man who sneered at

me.

"I almost killed him" he snarled "If you hadn't interfered you little b***h, I would have succeeded."

I snarled at him, my wolf surging to the surface and causing him to go silent.

The warriors dragged him out of the room while I exhaled. Dr Sandra looked bewildered "I don't know what's gotten into David," she said confused "I don't understand why he would want to harm the Alpha King. He's never been this vocal before. He's always been a recluse" she added, shaking her head "he'll be put in the dungeon until you decide his punishment" she added.

A recluse? My father growled "Your security is abysmal at best. Make sure this doesn't happen again" he snapped "My daughter could have been harmed, or her pup fighting this man."

"Apologies again Luna Queen" Dr Sandra said swiftly before glancing subtly at my stomach "Would you like me to check on your pup for you and ensure everything is alright? If only for your own peaceof mind?" she asked as I hesitated.

I was certain that my pup would be okay, but a small voice inside of me urged me to take the offer, even though I felt like I was betraying my mate by doing so. Dr Sandra waited patiently.

"Blair, with some of the issues you've had, I think it would be wise," My father said gravely.

With a bow of my head in resignation, I faced the doctor "I would like that very much. Please if he wakens..."

"I will tell you immediately," my father said agreeably.

"It won't take long, but I can do it in here so that you don't have to leave your mate" Dr Sandra offered and I brightened, glancing towards Braedon.

Now my mate would still be included and my father. Would I be able to determine the gender and would I find out what David had been up to and why he wanted my mate dead? Time will only tell.
