Chapter 12

Embry's POV

I watched her go limp in my arms. She wasn't dead. She couldn't be. This couldn't happen. She was my soul mate. We were made to stay together forever. This couldn't happen. I started shaking her.

"Maddy! Maddy! Come on princess! Come on!" I yelled with tears streaming down my face.

"SAM! SAM! She won't wake up!" I panicked. I started pressing against her chest like they do in movies even though I had no idea what I was doing.

"Come on! You can't die! No! No!" When no movement was made I got up and started throwing things. Then I started hitting trees. When I started banging my head against the tree Quil and Jake came over and held me back, but I couldn't feel the pain. All I could process is "She's dead." I sunk down to my knees and cried, not caring what the pack thought. I felt someone put a hand on my shoulder but didn't care.

"Wait! Embry! She's alive!" I looked up and ran toward Sam.

"What?"

"Her pulse is very faint. She doesn't have long."

I picked her up and held her tight. "Where should I take her?"

"My house. Jake, get Dr. Cullen."

I nodded and ran as fast as I could to Sam's.

When I reached the house I slammed the door open. Emily came running in. "Bailie had to leave. She had wedding plans…..oh my god!".

She looked at Maddy with wide eyes. "Lay her on the sofa."

I did as I was told and sat down on the floor by her head. I was not leaving her. Jake ran through the door with Dr. Cullen. He ran straight over to Maddy and started checking her pulse and bones.

"She's a fighter. Barely hanging on. Running a fever, well a fever for you, any bone that was broke needs to be rebroken, and she's lost a lot of blood. Will need an IV tonight. Her body is in shock from all the injuries. If she wasn't a shape-shifter she would be dead."

"Will she live?" I stuttered.

"No way to tell. It's a 50/50 chance she will survive the night. Emily, do you have a room we can use?"

Emily nodded and I picked Maddy up and placed her on the bed. I sat on the chair in the corner as Dr. Cullen hooked her up on an IV. The pack all ran in a minute later.

"Could I see all of you outside?"

I nodded and followed the doctor to the hallway.

"It's a 50/50 chance she will survive the night. For there to be any chance she needs more blood. There were to many injuries for the cuts to heal up quick enough, but I don't want to give her blood from outside the pack. I don't know how she will react to it. Could I get blood samples from each of you?"

"Of course, whatever we can do to keep her alive." Sam replied. I nodded and sat back in my chair.

After Dr. Cullen got samples from each of us he ran back home to test it. I walked to her bedside and laid down next to her. I wrapped my arms around her and whispered in her ear, "Don't leave me. I love you."
