The Alphas And The Orphan

Monday 10th January

Ace POV

Star has been asleep for 2 days. They are going to try to bring her around today. My brothers and I have taken it in turns to stay with her. It’s my turn now. I am sitting crossed legged the bed we had set up beside her.

The Dr said that even if she wakes up today that she will still need time to recover, so is likely to be here for at least a week. Her bruising has gone down a lot, her gorgeous face now different shades of purple, but the swelling has gone.

Dad arranged for us to take the week off from school. Teachers have sent work home for us, so we don’t fall behind. But I don’t think any of us have even looked at it yet. We have spent any free time we have getting our suite ready for our girl to come home to.

Ashton took Maxine and Suzie shopping for things for Star, buying everything the girls said she would like. She now has a closet full of new clothes, enough makeup to stock our own shop. Along with a laptop, tablet, new phone, watch, and all sorts of jewellery, these are all wrapped for her birthday.

I think we are all trying to keep busy, anything to stop us from marching into the cells and ripping those assholes to pieces.

putting the book I have been reading to her away, I lie down facing my angel, holding her hand I close my eyes and link Storm, our wolves have been linking with Saffron, giving her extra strength, but also allow them to bond with her, Star and Saffron are their mates too, the worry that consumes us is the same as theirs.

“OK Storm, how is she doing today?” I feel him pull back from Star’s mind. I feel him grin. “she is awake, tired but awake, goddess she is beautiful” I smile at that. “just like her human, does she think Star will be able to wake up today?”

“She is not sure Ace, their was so much damage, she is not sure they are strong enough yet.” I sigh and lift Star’s hand to my lips. I lay with her quietly, just holding her hand, trying to give her strength.

The door opens behind me and I scenes Alexei. He comes and climbs on the bed, leaning over Star and kissing her forehead, then both cheeks, before whispering in her ear. “It’s ok baby, your favourite Alpha is here to save you from Ace. It’s wake up day baby. You have to open those sexy eyes for me.”

I chuckle at him and pull him off her. “You are going to crush her with your gigantic head in a minute.”

“You both know I am the favourite. It’s my job as the youngest and best looking.” Ashton walks to the other side of Star and leans down to k**s her cheek. “Hello Starlight, are you ready for your busy day? I miss you, babe.”

We settled down to wait for the doctor “Storm says Saffron is awake. She isn’t sure if they are strong enough to wake up yet. Goddess, I just want to hear her voice. Has all the furniture arrived?”

Ash nods, the doctor arrives with a nurse, “Ok boys, let’s get our girl down for a scan and see what’s going on in that head of hers.”

They wheel our girl away and we just sit there, none of us wanting to admit our fears. What if she doesn’t wake up? Mum and dad come in and sit with us. They had made a decision about what to do with Charlotte, Sandie, and Billy. They were already classed as omegas, rich and spoilt but still omegas. There is no lower rank, so what to do?

In the end, he gave the option, become rogue and leave the pack or wear a tag that restricted their movements around the territory, and work with the domestic staff in the lowest position,

They would also be banned from shops and cafes for a year, and not leaving the territory until they had proven they had changed their ways.

The girl’s parents threatened to leave the pack, trying to blackmail dad, but he called their bluff, told them to pack quickly and we would escort them to the border within the hour. They would then be rogue., dad broke their ties to him and their pack and told them they would never be welcomed back.

Dexter and his friends wanted to go rogue as well, and left the same day.

Now we just have to deal with Stars’ family.

Dr Phillips came back in and sighed. “Good news the swelling on her brain has reduced but there is still a lot of bruising and there had been a small b***d that the swelling had hidden.”

“We have stopped the medication that kept her comatose so it’s just a waiting game now, she will wake up in her own time, just keep doing what you are doing, it is making a difference, her wolf is getting stronger, she will be the key to waking Star.”

“The nurses are removing her bandages, giving her a bath, and washing her hair. Do we have some pajamas for her? Let’s make her comfortable, shall we?”

Ashton grabs a duffel bag from the door, he put it on the bed and pulled out a set of pink flannel pajamas, shower gel, shampoo and conditioner, a hairbrush and hair dryer and a pack of hair ties.Content is © by NôvelDrama.Org.

We all looked at him like he had two heads. He gave a sheepish grin. “Max and Suzie packed it with me.” The doctor chuckled and took everything to the nurses.

Half an hour later they wheeled my angel wheeled back in all clean and in her cute pj’s, her hair had been put into two long braids that lay on her chest, I could see Lex frown at them, it is his night to sleep here so those braids are done for. She looked like she was just sleeping.

“We don’t need to plug her back into everything. Just call if you notice any change OK?”

He left us all alone. Mum and dad said good night, and we spent the evening playing cards and talking to Star.

Goddess, please let her wake up soon.
