Heartbeats

Chapter 19 - Heartbeats

Ezekiel Evans

I went outside and saw commotion among the pack members. That's not normal, my heart starts beating, and something happens.

- Alpha we need you at the clinic ASAP- I start running to the clinic

There she was pale as paper, lying in that bed. Her heartbeats out of rhythm
- The time is getting close
- FIND A HEART- I could not lose her
- There is nothing we can do-
- How you want me to let my mate die, HOW? - I'm supposed to accept it, but how? How when we are just starting to love, when she is starting to be happy. I was desperate but I had to think with a cold head

- don't be an ass for the Dr - her dry voice says and smiles - we have to accept our destiny and be a good man. Just love me while you can- I kiss her

- How much does she have to stay here?
- just a couple of days- establish the Dr

I started calling everyone so they could come and spend time with Leyla. We don't know how much she has, so we have to be prepared. Even if we don't want it. I explain everything to them
- We will be in our pack, and you are more than welcome to come and spend time there, I want to give her the memories she didn't have. - They make movements in their respective packs so they can be in our territory without any problem

At the time she had to get out of the hospital, everyone was waiting for her in front of the pack house. They were together just for her, she looked at me with tears in her beautiful eyes. I could feel her happiness.

She's been enjoying the time with everyone, even with Celene and Jax. After all, she's her cousin. Also, she's been a daddy little girl these days, they have transformed her. Every day of happiness came with an unstable heartbeat. Every time is difficult for her to do stuff, and keep the pack pace.

There I was looking through the window at how happy she looked with the pups lying in the yard looking at the clouds. She was coughing, I know she's trying to hold how she feels. It broke my heart not seeing her be a mother, she would have been the best. It is useless to regret what will not be if I have here and now. That's how we have to live cause tomorrow no one can't know.

I cannot deny that we've been happier than ever and I have to be grateful for her. She came to teach me things that I never thought I needed to learn. These few months she made me feel complete and grown.

Even if I'm trying to understand that, I will always ask to Moon Goddess How can I live without her? How can I get prepared to let her be? How is that possible? How can someone make amends for a broken heart?

She entered the house, we went to the room. I help her take a shower admiring her trying to make her laugh and bringing her to the bed. Today feels different, and I know I have to be strong for her, for our pack, for our friends, and our families.

We lay face to face, I saw her beautiful face, I can be like this forever. I would prefer to be the one with the heart problem but it feels selfish to let her feel what I have been feeling all his time.

- I'm tired... I'm not going... anywhere - she says between airs
-I know Rose, just take a rest. I'm here- while a tear rolled down my cheek and she started falling asleep
- Be good... Ezekiel - she was fighting what we both know will happen
-I will - I caress her cheek
- I ... love ... you- she said touching my face, while I lost her heartbeats

I feel sadness just to think I would not see her again, not having her in my arms. But I know she left us in peace and feeling complete.

Today in my arms, the love of my life gave me her last breath
- Thanks for loving me - I close my eyes and another tear rolls down
