Chapter 5 Luka's true form
Previously, on His alpha her omega
"Dr. Sherry, Alpha," she says, as she comes in.
"What is it Shelby?" My aunt asks, as she turns towards her.
"It's about Luka. He-" She pauses.
"Oh no," I say, as I turn around and start to panic.
My Aunt puts her hand on my shoulder. "Get control of yourself, Sophie. Come on, Shelby. Tell us what happened."
"Luka shifted back to his human form, and he's waiting for you," Shelby says, referring to me.
-----------------------------------------------------
My eyes then widen and get a slight twinkle in them as I dart out of the room, with Shelby and my Aunt running behind me trying to keep up. I run through the Waiting Room, not caring if anyone is watching me run like a mad woman. I just have one thing on my mind at the moment, and that is to be with Luka. I run so quickly that I literally run into the elevator, and smack my head against the stainless steel doors, hard.
"Take it easy, Sophie, it looks like you already found the elevator." My Aunt and Shelby speed walk around the corner.
"Yes, well... Uh. Sometimes people make mistakes when they're in a big hurry, and I'm in a hurry." I use my right hand to rub on the spot where my head hit the elevator, while I use my left hand to press repeatedly on the 'Up' button.
"Sophie, you're gonna break it. Come on, it's not like we're calling a code on him or anything," my aunt points out.
"Yet," I add. Shelby and my aunt both look at each other and roll their eyes. The elevator doors finally open, and we all pile in.
Once we are all inside, Shelby gently pushes past me and presses the fourth button which will take us to the fourth floor, the doors close.
I look over towards my aunt. "So, how did he do with the Propofol?" I ask her.
"He did wonderfully. I mean, we did have to bag him like always, and he did grumble a little bit when we had to unwrap him from the blanket, but all in all, he did great," she replies.
I try to rush out when the doors open, but my aunt stops me. "Whoa, whoa, whoa. Calm down, Sophie, I don't want you to have an aneurysm. Besides, you don't even know the way to his room. Shelby will show the way." I then look over towards Shelby. "Follow me, Alpha," Shelby says, as she steps out first, followed by my aunt and me.
As we walk down the hall, I zone out and stop paying attention to my surroundings as the number of left and right turns becomes bewildering. We finally come to a stop. I look up at the room number on the brown door. 468.
"Wait here," my aunt says, as she opens the door, and steps in.
I fold my hands and my foot starts to tap impatiently. "Luka, there's someone out here who wants to meet you," I hear my Aunt Sherry say from inside the room. My heart starts pounding in my chest. What if he doesn't like me? What if he thinks I'm still going to reject him? What if he hates me for not coming to him sooner? They're the only thoughts running through my mind until my aunt peeks her head around the door. "Sophie, you're in luck. There's someone in here who wants to meet you."
I take in a deep breath and then walk calmly into the room, with Shelby following close behind. There, my eyes land on a figure laying in the hospital bed. He's a light-skinned boy with shaggy dark brown hair. He has a thin frame, but that's normal, considering he was the Omega. And to top it off, he has rich brown eyes, the same color as milk chocolate, that make my mouth want to water. I look towards my aunt, and she nods, then she speaks up and says. "Go on, Sophie. Introduce yourself to your mate."
There's just so much I want to say, so much I want to ask him. But the only thing that I can get out is a "Hi."
Luka then looks towards my Aunt. "Can you lift my head up, please?" he asks politely.
"Sure, sweetie, let me do that for you." My aunt walks around to the head of the bed.
As my aunt raises his head up, Luka lowers his head, avoiding any eye contact with me. "Thanks for the hot dog," he says, in a quiet tone.
"You're welcome," I say, in a calm tone. I then shake my head. "So, Doc, tell him what you found." I compose myself.
"Well, Luka, you have a bad case of scar tissue build up, and a broken rib," she says.
"Is that why my side has been hurting?" he asks.
"Yes, it is," my aunt replies to him.
"Speaking of hurting. My throat is a little scratchy, can I get some water please?" Luka asks, his voice becoming a little hoarse.
My aunt then turns towards Shelby. "Shelby, can you go get him a small cup of water from in there?" She asks as she points towards the open bathroom.
"Yes, ma'am," Shelby replies with a nod of her head, as she speed walks into the bathroom. She comes back a few moments later holding a clear plastic Dixie cup, filled to the brim with water.
"Here you go. Take it easy, so drink it slowly, okay? We don't want you choking on it," Shelby says, as she hands Luka the cup.
Luka does what she says, and brings the cup to his lips. Then, he very slowly drains the water from the cup.
"So, what do you have to do to make me better?" Luka asks, as he wipes his chin with his sleeve and gives the now empty cup back to Shelby.
"Your best bet, Luka, is surgery, but it'll be pretty risky," my aunt replies.
Luka's eyes go wide. "Surgery? Really?" I can hear the fear in his voice. I rush over to the left side of the bed, so fast that my Aunt has to jump out of the way to avoid me crashing into her, I then take his left hand, and clasp it in between mine.
"Don't worry, honey. I'm going to be right here for you, every single step of the way," I say, in a calming voice.
"Why?" He asks me like he doesn't know what I'm talking about.
"Why do you think, we're mates, Luka." I squeeze his hand tighter in mine, but just slightly. "Do you feel those?" I ask him, referring to the sparks that are traveling through his hand and up his arm, as well as mine.
"What are those?" he asks quietly, stunned.
"That's our love connection. You see, Luka," I explain, "each wolf is like one half of a circuit, and when they find their other half and connect with them, electricity starts to flow between them. Well, the same can be said for us."
Luka then takes his hand away slowly, the sparks stop. He then places his hand back into mine, and the sparks start to flow again. "Are you really sure you want me for a mate?" He asks, looking up towards me slightly.
"I've never been surer of anything," I say sweetly.
Luka then looks towards my aunt and Shelby, who are just standing there looking at us with tears in their eyes. "Are you sure that surgery will take the pain away?"
"We're positive," They both reply.
Luka then looks at me with his head up. "Well then, what are we waiting for?" he asks eagerly.
My aunt and Shelby look at each other for a moment, then back at us. "Well, there is a slight problem holding us back," my aunt says.
"And that would be what?" Luka asks her, curiously.
"Well, Luka, to get this surgery, you have to be clean so that you don't get an infection," she replies.
"And the catch is?" Luka asks.
Just before my aunt can reply, I raise my left hand, like I always did at the dinner table when I wanted to get my word in on a conversation.
"Go ahead, Sophie," my aunt says when she sees that I have my hand up.
"Thank you, Aunt Sherry. Luka, since you're so weak, we will have to literally give you a shower, and since the only female allowed to get that close to you is me, that means the only one who can give you a shower is me" I explain.
"Luka, would that be okay with you? She'll see you," my aunt says.
Luka looks at everyone in the room, then he sighs deeply. "You know, at this point, I honestly don't care who's around to see me in there. So let's just do it."
"Well, alright then. Shelby, I think we should leave these two alone while we get everything ready," my aunt says, as she winks at Shelby.
Shelby nods, as she and my aunt walked out of the room. When they're clearly out of the room, I lean in real close to Luka. "I'll look after you, okay? I promise," I whisper. We then wait in silence, until Shelby comes to get us.
