Mated To Alpha Kessler

I wish more than anything for her to be fine and alive to take care of her child. I can’t afford to be away from my child.All content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

I am dumbfounded that the doctor suggested they save the life of the baby first because of some complications.

As the doctor explains the situation, my heart sinks with each word. “I understand it’s a difficult decision, but given the severity of the complications and the risks involved, it’s our best chance for you to choose who we save first.”

I move closer to Alpha Kessler and the pack doctor. “What do you mean we need to choose who we are to save first?”

I look at Kessler, wondering who he will choose to save. I know not everyone is aware that Annie is no longer their Luna-I was told that.

Only the inner circle of people within the king’s court are aware of what transpired between Annie, and Kessler, and the atrocities she committed with Jack.

I wonder how these revelations will shape the system within the pack and what consequences they may bring in later days when they eventually find out.

Alpha Kessler exchanges a somber look with the pack doctor before turning to me. “Lyra, the situation is dire.”

My heart aches knowing that whatever choice is made, will have profound consequences for everyone involved.

I can see that he is worried and unsure of who he should choose. Her parents should be informed about her condition.

Finally, Kessler finds his voice. “To be honest, I don’t know who to choose. Is there anything we can do to save the lives of both the mother and child?” he asks, in desperation

The pack doctor sighs heavily. “We will do our best, Alpha Kessler. Try to understand me, I know it’s a lot to take in, but Luna is experiencing severe complications that pose a life-threatening risk to her health.”

“And to be precise, she is having Severe Pre-eclampsia. It’s a condition characterized by high blood pressure and often involves damage to organs such as the kidneys and liver.”

“And as we speak now, it has progressed to a severe stage, and it can lead to eclampsia (seizures) or HELLP syndrome. This has to do with the liver and blood.”

The pack doctor’s explanation brings a whole reality, emphasizing Annie’s critical condition.

Kessler’s expression shifts, his worry deepening “Is there anything we can do to improve her chances?” he asks, his voice tinged with desperation.

The pack doctor nods, “We have initiated immediate medical interventions to stabilize Luna and the baby. However, we must be prepared for any unforeseen developments.” he explains.

“I don’t know if I can decide on who to choose, but I’ve contacted her parents, and they would be here any moment,” Kessler says, his voice uncertain.

“Alpha, we don’t have time. We need to perform a cesarean section to bring the baby out, but there is a slim possibility that she would survive it, considering she has lost so much blood,” the pack doctor explains.

Kessler’s eyes widen with shock and concern as he processes the situation. “Do everything you can to save them both,” he says with authority.

Many thoughts swirl in my head. If the doctor chooses to save Annie first, there is a higher possibility that she will get over it and have another child soon.

But the same doctor says that her chance of staying alive is slim because she has lost so much blood.

We can’t just stand and watch without making a concrete decision. This is a lot more difficult than I thought.

My heart aches for Annie and the unborn child. The conflicting possibilities and the grim reality of the slim chance of survival.

I look at Alpha Kessler, his face reflecting the same turmoil I feel. We both know that whatever decision is made, it will have profound and lasting consequences.

“But Kessler’s voice brought me out of my myriad of thoughts. ‘What about her wolf? It should help with her healing,’ he suggests.

I nod my head in agreement, looking to the doctor to hear what he has to say.

“I’m sorry, her wolf is dormant, and she is purposely resisting her wolf from doing the necessary healing process,” the doctor explains, looking at us expectantly as if he assumes we should have decided by now.

Kessler’s brows furrow in concern, mirroring my worries. “Is there anything we can do to activate her wolf and facilitate the healing process?” Kessler asks.

The doctor shakes his head regretfully. “It’s not something we can force. The wolf’s activation is deeply tied to emotional and mental states. Given the circumstances, it’s likely her wolf will remain dormant until she is ready to accept its help.”

“God damn you, Annie, and you leave us to make a big decision,” Kessler mutters under his breath, but I can still hear him.

I place my hand on his back, soothing him. “I know it’s a lot to take in. And I know Kessler is trying to be cautious, not to make a decision that won’t favor him and his pack, so he doesn’t run into trouble with her family.”

Kessler’s shoulders tense beneath my touch, I know he just wants what’s best for everyone.

Then the door bursts open as a couple walks in. I notice the woman has a striking resemblance to Annie except for the color of her hair.

She rushes to Kessler. “Alpha, tell me it’s not true,” she says in between sobs. I can see Kessler holding back tears, but he just engulfs the woman in an embrace as she sobs into his chest.

“It’s going to be alright,” Kessler reassures her. “We’re doing everything we can.”

The woman nods, her tears slowing as she begins to regain some composure. “I just can’t believe this is happening,” she whispers.

I feel a pang of jealousy seeing the way Annie’s mom is comfortable around Kessler. “God damn you, Lyra, get a grip on yourself. The poor woman is grieving,” the voice gently scolds me.

I look at Alpha Baynes and notice he is a man of few words. He just nods his head at Kessler in greeting, and Kessler does the same while he consoles Annie’s mother.

The doctor has to break the rather tense situation because I can see he is running out of patience.

Without much ado, I’d like to know who you want us to save first, the mother or the child.

“Save the child,” Alpha Baynes says with no emotion, prompting another round of wails from Annie’s mum as she sobs uncontrollably. “Please save my daughter’s life too,” she pleads, looking at the doctor with hope in her eyes.

“We will do our best, Luna,” the doctor assures her before walking inside. I notice Kessler and Alpha Baynes discussing while Annie’s mother is seated on one of the chairs, lost in her thoughts.

My heart aches for the pain she must be feeling, the anguish of potentially losing her daughter. I pray for a miracle, hoping that somehow both mother and child will be safe.

Realizing it’s time for me to leave the hospital, I don’t want to draw unnecessary attention to myself now that I’m back with the pack. I find my way out of the pack hospital and wander, not sure where I’m headed.

Soon, I bump into Ryder. “Hi, how are you doing?” I greet him.

“Hi Lyra, I trust you are doing well,” he responds.

“Yeah, I’m fine,” I reply. “I didn’t know you were a member of this pack.”

He has a nervous smile as if he wasn’t expecting me to be so upfront with him. Right now, he’s giving me a creepy look that sends shivers down my spine.

“I am. I just moved in with my aunt a few weeks back.”

“Oh, that explains it,” I said hastily, feeling uneasy. I quickly move away from him as we exchange goodbyes.

I can’t help but feel worried for Julie. Ryder doesn’t seem like a good guy, and although I’m not the best judge of character, right now, I don’t think I can trust him.

“But what do I know,” I shrug to myself, shaking off the unease. I head off to my room, craving a hot steaming bath to soothe my body after the rollercoaster of events.

Before I can even start undressing, I hear a soft knock on my door. I groan loudly, “Who is it?”
