Wow...Sorry about that Fucked up chapter. I have no clue what went on there. I fixed it though and am going to try to write another one tonight since I seem to be in that kind of mood. Sorry about the wait, I haven't been able to think about this story or any of mine in a while but I hope tonight will be the night!

Why now? My team needed their Alpha! My daughter needed her mother! I couldn't force this position on her so soon, at such a young age! I had to wake up, pull myself out of the darkness of the realm of darkness and into the world of the living.

It was a fight to do anything in the state that I was in. I forced my eyes open slowly trying to tell where I was without giving away that I was awake. I could be in enemy presence or could be surrounded by pack or the royal guards for all I know. I felt warmth on my side and looked to see my little girl pressed up against me fast asleep.

She looked so much like her father at times that it was nearly unbearable. She has his eyes, and his hair. For the most part she had my body type but she had both of our personalities. She loved reading - mostly supernatural romance books like I used to- but she also had a temper like mine. It was hard to describe her other than a perfect blend of her parents for most situations. She had gone to human and damphir schools as we had been living with the Belikovs in Russia so she had the choice of where she wanted to go for the first part of her schooling life. I petted her hair gently as I stared at her before looking farther around the room.

I laughed quietly with the sight that I saw. Various members of my pack were sprawled out on the clinic floor sleeping up against the walls and floor. I wondered how they had managed to convince the Doctor and Nurses to allow them to stay there overnight. I was glad that they were there as they had sped my healing. Though they couldn't do as much as my mate could have. You see it was that damn mate bond that was killing me in the first place.

It was shattered during the process of him rejecting our mating when he spoke of his love fading for me. In the pack everyone has an animal behind them. Mine was a wolf and since the mating was shattered she refuses to come out which is slowly killing me. His animal would have taken residence after a few other matings as a mate to my inner wolf. As this did not happen he would not be suffering as much as I was. His death would be slower being the male anyways because they were to live with the regret of what they had done even if it was not really all their fault. It was a life commitment, especially with a wolf as a mate due to the fact that wolves mate for life.

I slowly and carefully removed myself from my daughter and the hospital bed to see who from the pack had arrived.

James- Bear Shifter

Rapheal- Lion Shifter

Lucas- Falcon Shifter

Jenna- Coyote shifter

Sara- Fire Moroi

Ben- Tiger Shifter

Mikhail- Damphir

Mark- Damphir

All were important to the pack and I was glad that they could be here. Ben, Sara and Jenna were Cyn's Protectors as the Strogoi wanted to take out as many in our pack as possible, especially the heir to the pack line. I was the Alpha of both the males and females until I took a mate...or had him by my side. This made Cyn a target for the Strogoi as she is the only one in line to take over for me as I pass. If she were to die the pack would stumble and make it a lot easier to kill them off one by one

I looked around the room one last time before I decided that I was going for another patrol. Luckily no one had taken my clothes, probably knowing that I hated to wear the clothes that the clinic gave to people. I slowly walked around all of my pack sending soothing messages through the bond that kept all of them asleep. They could use it. I managed not to wake any of them up and walked the border of court happily enjoying the sunlight until someone grabbed my arm. I was still too out of it to do much except not fall when they swung me around.

"Are you sure you should be out of bed? That seemed quite serious yesterday Roza!" Exclaimed the voice that haunted my dreams. Damn Dimitri found me once again.
