Cam:

I hear my name being called by a desperate voice and I turn my head sluggishly to where it came from to see Rachel racing towards me but to be cut down by one of my guards.

I growl deeply at the guard but he doesn't hear me. I then try to push myself up from the wall only to be pushed down again by the surging pain that flows through my whole body.

The guard points his sword to Rachel, the tip pressing up against her neck. I hear her faintly sob as she stares at the sword pressed dangerously to her neck.

I hear a dark, deep growl from above me, I look up to see Fletcher staring down at me cruel eyes. I try again to get up, succeeding but I am pushed forcibly back down again by Fletcher, earning a groan of pain.

"What's wrong Alpha? Is you darling Rachel being hurt?" He says sarcastically and smirks. He turns around to watch Rachel and I take that as the only chance I have, I jump to my feet and punch Fletcher really hard.

My body cries out in pain for the sudden movements but I grit through the pain. Fletcher goes down like a sack of potatoes to the cobblestone ground.

"Stop!" I yell to the guard who has now drawn blood from Rachel. He spins the sword back around and sheaths it, I let out a sugh of relief as Rachel sees me and ger eyes glow up.

I stalk over to Rachel, every move causing unbearable pain to surge through me.

"Cameron!" Rachel quickly leaps up and hugs me tightly but lets go quickly and clutches her throat.

I furrow my eyebrows in confusion then realize that more blood is seeping through the gaps in between her pale fingers. Her eyes go wide as she stares at me, fright written all over her face.

"No!" I scream and leap forward, catching her as she falls to the ground. I look into her dying eyes, seeing regret and sadness. No, I will not let Rachel die like this.

"No Rachel, stay with me, keep your eyes open," I croak out as I feel my throat threatening to close up on me, my eyes start to sting, I have never really crued before but it is clear that I am about to cry about Rachel.

Rachel:

I only just manage to keep my eyes open as I stare into Cam's eyes, they are filled with sorrow.

My hands that were clutching my neck suddenly weaken and I feel drowsy. My eyes threaten to close but I keep them open. If I am going to die here, I want the last thing I see to be Cameron.

"One of the guards is calling and ambulance," I hear Riley say, running over to us. He instantly wraps hus hands around my neck, stopping the blood and starts to talk frantically to the guard who is calling the ambulance.

The guard who had sliced me takes his metal helmet off and looks sadly at me, I lock eyes with him and he mouths 'sorry' to me. I grunt my response, making Cam think that there is something wrong.

"Rachel," Cam tilts my head slowly so that I am looking at him. "Focus on me ok? Forget about everything else, focus on me, not the pain."

I smile weakly at Cam and give him a thumbs up with the hand he was holding. He lets out a single laugh and shakes his head.

"You always seem to find humour in even the worst of situations," he smiles lightly to me.

Suddenly I hear a low, painful growl resonate from behind Cam. Cam snaps his head around to see another man standing there, his eyes a dark shade of emerald green.

Instantly Cam gets up and dtands protectively in front of me. The man growls lowly to Cam his eyes turning from dark brown to pitch black.

"Get away from my mate," the man growls then looks at me, his eyes softening.

That is all I hear until unconsciousness  overtakes me and I fall asleep.

Cam:

I look confused at the man but then I see the genuine admiration that he shows when he looks at Rachel. I nod and back away from Rachel, allowing the man to rush over and get a better view of his mate.

"The ambulance is about five minutes away," I hear the Brandon say from behind me, he is my most trusted guard to be honest. I nod at him turn back to see where Fletcher went and funnily enough, he has ran off.

I shake my head and turn back to Rachel, her eyes are closed, I mean, I don't blame her the amount of blood she lost.

Riley is still clutching her neck, trying his best to keep her alive. His hands are covered in blood and he has an expression of determination on his face.

"Alpha sir, she is waking up," the doctor says, poking his head out of the door to her room. Her supposed mate and I share a wary glance then instantly jump to our feet and bolt into the room, shoving the doctor out of the way.

"Rachel," I say quietly, almost whispering and she raises her head, smiling as she looks at me.

She has alot of bandages wrapped around her neck, she has been in a coma for about 2 weeks and has a severed artery in her neck. A large gash behind her knee where the guard had sliced her open, this guard has now been sacked by me. He should have recognized Rachel before he cut he neck open.

"Cam," she croaks, letting me sit beside her on her ved and hold her hand.

The man clears his throat from beside us and sit on the other side of Rachel's bed. Rachel frowns and looks confusingly at him as he looks at her with admiration.

"Who are you?" Rachel says confused, looking straight at the man who is sitting with centimeters of her.

"I am your mate, I smelt your enchanting smell whilst at the bar," he says defiantly although he looks a bit hurt by her reaction.

"My name is Matthew Hugo," He smiles brightly to Rachel who smiles back. She reaches her hand out for him to take, he does and she giggles lightly and Mattew laughs, the are clearly feeling the sparks which are appearing with their touch.

"Yes well, you two can get to know each other once you are out of hospital," I say agitated. I suddenly stand up and walk over to door, stepping outside before my temper broke.

"Hello Sir, how may I help you?" The lady at the front desk asks politely.

"Umm, when do you think Rachel can leave? She doesn't really like being cramped up in one room for too long, she never has." I smile at the end.

"Oh yes!" Her face brightens up as I speak. "Hmm.... well, it says here that she can go home now so long as she is supervised by somebofy at all times. Would you like me to get a leaving form for you Sir?" I swear that everyone here are too polite to be werewolves.

"Yes please," I smile as she hands me the fill-out form.

"Here you go, just sign here and get Rachel to sign here," she says pointing at different places on the form. I nod and walk back around to Rachel's room.
"Do you want to leave now? I have the form here if you like?" I ask as I walk over to Rachel who instantly sits back up properly.

"Oh my god yes! I hate staying in this dreaded place," she says excitedly. I laugh at her excitement passing her the clipboard.

"Just sign here," I say pointing to a place on the form. As she lets go of Matthew's hand, he whimpers. I look at gim from the corner of my eye.

Seriously, he is a total whimp! He can't handle Rachel not holding his hand for 10 seconds whilst she signs the form?!
