Chapter 21

I know how could I leave you all hanging with a mysterious dead kitten and people in the hospital! I'm sorry, this is me making it up to you :)

Bellamy crumples up the blood covered letter and threw it to the floor, he was seething.

"I want him found Miller!?"

Taking a cautions step back from his alpha Miller nodded. "I'll round up the guys."

"He better be breathing when you bring him to me, he's mine to finish." Bellamy growled.

Beeeeep Beep Beep Beep.

Bellamy's head snapped toward one of the machines that were attached to Clarke, the short one with the heart monitor attached was going crazy.

"What's happening?" Octavia asked scared for her friend.

Raven ran from the room calling for a doctor. Coming back with a man in a white coat seconds later.

"I need you all to clear the room." The man said calmly, pulling deep purple gloves from his back pocket.

"I'm not leaving." Bellamy glared at the man.

"Bell." His sister warned, but he wasn't listening to her.

The doctor sighed. "Fine just stand out of the way." At his words 2 nurses came running in carrying sacks of liquid.

"What's wrong with her?" Bellamy asked after a couple seconds of watching nurses scurry around.

One of the ladies turned to him once she'd finished her task. "We are giving Clarke something that should calm her down and help her rest more peaceful. Right now she seems to be coming out of her coma and-"

"But that's a good thing." Bellamy interrupted.

The nurse glared at him before continuing. "Coming out of her coma in this state causes pain and other symptoms that are specific to the patient. Right now we want to keep her under a little longer, in order to do that we have to keep her calm."

The nurse excused herself then and walked back into the hallways, The doctor fiddled around with a couple buttons on the heart monitor machine before straighten and looking at the small group.

"Your friend will be fine she just needs more rest, I'm sorry guys but I'm going to have to ask you to leave."

The doctor was looking at Bellamy as he spoke, already knowing that he would be the one to give him the problem. Bellamy stood straighter and crossed his arms over his chest.

"I'm sorry the only people who are allowed to stay are family."

"We are her family." Raven tried to defuse the situation, feeling the tension rolling off Bellamy's body.

"I'm her husband." Bellamy snapped.

The doctor squinted his eyes, clearing sniffing out the alphas lie. "She's not wearing a ring."

"Neither are half the married people in this state." Bellamy fired back.

The doctor rolled his shoulder and sighed. "Fine you can stay, but you ladies have to go. You can come back tomorrow morning at 8."

The both nodded.

"Call us if anything changes Bell."

Bellamy nodded pulling his sister into a hug, once they'd both left he pulled a chair to Clarke's bedside.

"Why is it that every time I let you out of my sight you get hurt." He hung his head, curls falling into his eyes.

"Drama queen." Clarke's throat was drying causing her words to catch in her throat.

Bellamy smiled; when he looked up he was met with an equally heart-breaking smile.

The blondes blue eyes were glazed over from the drugs being pumped into her system via an IV. Her hair had fallen out of the messy braid she had created earlier in the morning, and her head was lulled to the side on her pillow.

"What happened?" She asked softly.

Bellamy looked down at the bloody note he'd tossed earlier, then back up to her in a slow four seconds.

"You don't remember?"

Clarke's brow frowned as she thought, having a hard time recalling what had happened.

"Stop." Bellamy took her left hand in his. "The doctor said you might have a little memory trouble, you fainted outside you class. Hit your head pretty hard, there was some blood but the doctors said you'd be okay..."

Bellamy continued on, but at the mention of blood Clarke felt her memories come back to her, she slowly listed her hands into the space between them.

Last time she saw her hands they were covered in blood? Kitten blood. Someone had put a dead kitten in her school bag.

Bellamy's voice drifted back in "... You should be fine to leave tomorrow afternoon, they just want you overnight for observation."

"You were right; I shouldn't have gone to class. If I'd just stayed in the apartment-"

Bellamy gentle took hold of Clarke's wrists and slowed her hands back to her lap, shaking his head.

"I'm going to find this animal and I'm going to kill him. You should not be blaming yourself for this monsters actions!" Bellamy looked quickly around him, seeing if anyone noticed his outburst. "I didn't take this threat as seriously as I should have."

"Keeping me hidden and guarded in the apartment while you and the pack are out looking for the random wolf, that's not taking this seriously?"

"I started letting what you were saying effect my instincts. I shouldn't have let my guard down because I wanted to please you-"

Clarke sat up, "Bellamy wait-"

"No! Whoever this wolf is has crossed way to many lines, I let it happen, I let him assert his dominance over me and it's not going to happen again."

"Bellamy you aren't making sense, just slow down."

But the alpha was already on his feet cell phone in hand.

"Miller I need you and Murphy at the hospital now, when you get here tell the doctor you're Clarke's brothers."

"Bellamy!" Clarke snapped trying to get his attention.

"I have to make a few more calls, the guys will meet me in the lobby, I won't leave before they get here."

And he was gone, stalking out of the room mid-dial.

Clarke huffed falling back into the bed, what the hell just happened? Pulling out the side table drawer Clarke sighed when she spotted her cell phone. She dialled the only number she knew by heart.

"Hey Clarke, I'm happy you called."

"I need you to clear up something for me."

"What no hello for your brother-or should I saw your wolf brother?"

"Wells you're still my brother, DNA doesn't decide that."

She hear him laugh, the sound putting a smile on her face.

"What do you need?"

"Something's been happening since I got back-well before that actually-"

"Everything's okay though right?"

Clarke hadn't planned on telling Wells she was in the hospital but as fate would have it, from the room across the hall alarms started going off.

"Clarke are you in a hospital!"

"I'm fine I promise-"

"Clarke-"

"Seriously I'm getting out in a couple hours; I really need you to focus here."

She heard his growl even though he'd removed the phone from his face.

"Fine."

"Bellamy said something that confused me. He was freaking out and saying how he can't believe someone tried to dominate him-does that mean anything to you?"

"Is there someone new in your life? A male?"

Clarke quickly filled her brother in.

"Jesus, maybe you shouldn't have left."

"Bellamy said he was in my room while we were gone, I think maybe he's been- The last few weeks before you showed up I felt like someone was watching me, I didn't think anything of it... until now."

"Alphas' are protective by nature, of their pack, family and friends. They're over protective of their mates, but someone has now come in and tried to push Bellamy out of your life, erase his existence where you're concerned."

"What does rubbing his scent around have anything to do with getting Bellamy out of my life."

"Maybe he thinks you're a wolf? It can sometimes be hard to tell with humans, even harder with you, you grew up around us, have some of the mannerisms. Scent marking-"

"Bellamy told me all about that when we got back, I'm just worried someone is going to get hurt because of me. Again!"

"If anyone got hurt it would be no ones fault but the person who hurt them."

Clarke scoffed. "When did you get all peace and love?"

"Since my baby sister is in the hospital and is freaking out about things she can't control. Things are going to be okay Clarke, I'm here if you need me, and you have Bellamy remember that."
