Chapter twenty-three- Knowing His Place (Chelsea's POV)

Molly they know I am a white wolf, but nothing more do not mention anything I said using my Alpha voice before dropping Gabriel's hand and standing up to be face to face with Samuel. I didn't know what the hell his problem was, before fighting with Maggie I saw him glaring right at me. I understand that he might be feeling angry because his mate was currently being operated on, that wasn't my fault I mean Jamie knew that I could take a bullet so I'm not sure why he would charge Audrey.

"What's your problem Sam?" I asked condescendingly.

"My problem? Besides the fact that you just killed your half sister?" that alone caused me to snort.

"She wasn't my half sister when you all thought she would and could kill me, but now that I ended her I'm the bad guy?" I asked sarcastically.

"No, if Jamie was in our pack he wouldn't feel the need to protect you or follow you around he would be part of my family-" I had to stop him right there.

"Listen, and listen carefully, you're eventually going to be part of my pack unless you plan on rejecting your mate so I advise that you learn some respect and talk to me with the respect you would give any other Alpha." I said staring him down before finishing, "Second, I'm not holding Jamie hostage in my pack, if he's in it it's not because I have something on him or I'm forcing him, he is there on his own freewill." I gritted out.

"Right! I told him he could join my pack but he was adamant that he's staying in yours," he said sneering then rolling his eyes at me and that was my breaking point. Moving quickly I grabbed his neck with my right hand, slamming him against the wall behind him, squeezing tightly I concentrated on his eyes, I wanted him to know and understand this situation before he tried causing more problems.

Make him understand we demand respect!

"Listen up, your pack caused all of this..." I began emphasizing the words so he knew and understood, "I told your father I wanted nothing to do with the Colts', and during class Maggie attacked me, then came back and was sure that she would be able to take me. You were a part of that, the only person who seemed to realize that it was a bad decision not just for Maggie to fight me til we submitted was your mother," I stated. "Jamie, your mate wouldn't have needed to respond the way he had if you and your 'pack,' hadn't decided that you wanted to get rid of me," I said squeezing his neck tighter, watching him swing his arms around trying to remove himself from my grip but I wasn't done yet.

"He is going to pull through this I just know it, but in that time I suggest you come to terms that he wants nothing to do with your pack, not because I am controlling him but because you guys are seriously fucked up! Ok? And while you're coming to those terms, figure out a way to squash whatever else it is you're holding against me. Don't put him in the position to choose between my pack and yours just because you're his mate." I said slowly making sure he understood my words, "Do you understand?" I asked while squeezing on his neck a little bit more. I thought for sure I had gotten through to him.

When he spoke I could see that he was shy and quiet, like I had assumed but I also saw a lot of Alpha George in him. "You made Gabriel choose, and he abandoned us, n-now that Jamie got hurt maybe he'll wise up and let you deal with your problems on your own," he choked out. I let him go and he sagged to the ground.

"That is it, you people are all psychotic that has to be it!" I whisper yelled, I could tell we were gaining attention here in the waiting room. Crouching down to his level, "I didn't make Gabriel choose between your pack and me," I explained calmly. I was going to finishing ripping him a new one but I saw a doctor that I could tell was a wolf come out, blood on his scrubs. Instantly I forgot of the less than savory idiot on the floor now, standing up I waited for him to speak. Everyone stopped speaking amongst themselves; then I saw Molly walk towards me her mate trailing her as well. When we were both in front of the doctor he spoke.

 "Hello I'm Dr. Travis, I'm the main doctor working on Mr. James Trey, are you all in his pa-family?" he corrected himself last minute when he noticed that there were humans here with us but not aware of our kind probably.

Molly was still sobbing and nodding her head.

"Yeah he's part of my family, and this is his sister Molly."

"Okay well I'm out here because we need to operate to fix his heart, unfortunately the GSW to the chest nicked his aorta and we need to repair that tear, but there is also damage to his stomach, and the bullet ricocheted hitting his spine. I know that being near mates," he whispered the last word so low that only wolves could hear, "could help, if he has one we would like to bring him in, maybe being near them would help increase his current vitals, right now we aren't sure he would survive the surgery but maybe if we brought in-" he didn't get to finish.

"I'm his mate," Samuel said scrabbling to get up off the floor finally, the doctor exhaled deeply relieved that Jamie did have a mate, not even blinking questioning that his mate was a man.

"Okay follow me-" said Dr. Travis.

Go to brother, we can help him not his mate said Avena while I thought the same thing, "Actually I think I should be the one to go," I said walking past Samuel, Dr. Travis looked confused, Molly was nodding her head in agreement, and I could literally feel Gabriel burning a hole in the side of my face but I didn't care about any of that. 

"You aren't his mate, Chelsea," said Samuel sounding like a five-year pouting and throwing a fit for not getting his way. I hated to do this because I knew that part of his anger was because his mate was hurt, but in the long run I was the better person to go to Jamie. Not only could I cause pain, I could heal injuries, I've never had to heal anyone with Jamie's' injuries but still I knew that me being in the room would be more useful than Samuel, not only had they not mated they hadn't even marked each other.

"Look, you haven't even marked each other," I whispered yelled.

Samuel started growling at me, his eyes turning black, I didn't want to waste time on him so I did the next best thing and I hated to do this as well but still Jamie was the focus and she knew that too.

"Look Dr. Travis, Molly is his only blood relative if anything she should decide who should go with you," I said dully, knowing that if Samuel wasn't such a child I would've already been going back changing, putting on a mask and going to Jamie. My wolves were also annoyed with Samuel, after I had that thought. Ronan was their only brother, they hadn't been with him for a long time, part of which was my fault since I never interacted with Jack and Casey's family but still.

"Uhmm..." came out of Doctor Travis, knowing what I said was true and began looking to Molly.

"Sam I know you're his mate but it's just... it's just that I would rather Chelsea go back there, she's our Alpha after all," she whispered, Samuel growled causing Nathan to put his arms around his mate protectively, whilst simultaneously glaring at Sam and Doctor Travis' head whipped in my direction so quick I thought his head would snap off.

"I'm sorry Sam," Molly said once again.

Jack and Casey would tease me because I always had a hard time reading facial cues, and matching them with tone and word placement, however at this moment, Molly didn't look very sorry and the tone was also what most people would use to pacify a child.

The words I heard in my head as I walked following Dr. Travis only proved that I was getting better at reading people, Chelsea can you hear me? I heard Molly in my head whispering like someone else could hear her.

Yeah?

You... you said in New York that you could heal and hurt right? If... if they can't help him... can, will...  c-can you do it? Heal him that is... I don't care if we have to move away anywhere so no one knows you healed him... just help him okay.... I don't care about staying here we can go somewhere else. He's all I have left; our parents are gone and if you can help him, do it we can leave... okay... please? She was speaking still at a whisper, but it wasn't calm or focused, it felt like she was close to having a panic attack at the thought of her brother dying.

I was listening to her other thoughts and she had already decided that as long as I saved him we could move anywhere, thinking about how fast she would be able to get her things packed up and ready to leave her new home.

I wont let him die Molly relax I said as I followed the doctor. When we got to another door a nurse came and handed me scrubs, helped put my hair in a cap, put on a gown that covered my scrubs and gloves on my hands.

As I walked into the operating theater I saw a pale looking Jamie, but went right near his head where I could see he was hooked up to so many machines but that didn't intimidate me. Using my nails I poked a hole in my glove so that I could have actual skin contact to Jamie, I knew it would work better that way. I ran my fingers over his face and leaned right near his ears, "Jamie... I'm here okay... I don't know what the hell you were doing jumping at the girl with a gun!" I whispered as I saw the doctors looking at his vitals, and I could tell touching him was already increasing his vitals.

"Thanks for doing it though, I think I know why you did..." I trailed off.

"Okay his vitals are increasing nicely, lets begin."

I didn't pay attention to what they were doing exactly but then I started reaching out to Ronan, Jamie's wolf and my wolves' older brother.

Ronan, you need to hold on for Jamie okay?  I said not actually expecting that I would get a response since he was under anesthesia.
