The Gamma's Heart

Chapter 5 Mark

Clara POV

I could see nothing around me as I ran, no light, no noise. Everything was black and silent. I felt like I was gonna pass out from the hyperventilating I was doing.

This place was making me uneasy, and I couldn't take it. I stopped and listened for something, anything to make this quiet place not seem to bad.

"Clary, are you there? Please talk to me!" I begged my wolf, but all I got was silence from her.

"Somebody please get me out of here," I screamed into the darkness, as I slumped down to my knees. I put my hands on my ears and began rocking back and forth.

The need to scream began to take over my panicked state. I opened my eyes and let out a scream so loud it made my ears ring. I moved my hands from my ears when I felt a wet substance on them.

I screamed so loud I made my ears bleed. "Someone ease help me," I whispered to myself as I curled up on my side and cried.

Wyatt POV

Sitting in a chair in her hospital room, I stared at Clara. They managed to get her heart started again, but said because of the wolfsbane they drugged her with, her body is struggling to heal properly.

If she dosen't make it I don't think Noah and I will beable to bear it. Chase is beside himself with everything his parents told him the other day.

It's been nearly 4 days and she's went into cardiac arrest 3 times. But she continues to fight, it's like she knows we're in the room with her.

I look up from my phone when I hear the heart monitor pick up, it was then I noticed the blood, standing up I quickly went over to her and gently moved her head to the side, it was coming from her ears. "Noah come here!" I called out to my cousin.

Getting over to the other side of the bed, I moved my hands, as he turned her head to the other side and seen the blood coming from the other ear. "Why is she bleeding from her ears?" Noah asked. I shrugged my shoulders and opened one of her eyes, I jumped back slightly when I seen it wasn't her normal green eyes but all pure white.

Her whole eye was white. "Noah, look at her eyes," he stopped what he was doing and did as I said, he too jumped back slightly.

The lights in the room began to flicker continuously, the one above her shattered and instinctively both Noah and I covered her so the glass shards wouldn't fall on her.

Chase woke up from.the chair he was resting in, "What happened?" He rushed out still half asleep. "I don't know. Her ears are bleeding and the lights started flickering, then shattered." I told him, he rushed over and grabbed her hand.

"Clara, if this is your way of trying to wake up, know that we're here, you aren't alone. Me, Noah, and Wyatt are all here with you." he whispered to her.

Noah turned around when her heart monitor picked up again, it was around 150 and rising, even for a werewolf that was fast.

All three of us stood there, just praying and waiting for her to hear us as each of us told her to fight and wake up.

Her body jerked slightly, me and Noah moved back not knowing what was going on, when the alarms began going off again I felt tears brim my eyes. Her whole body jerked again, and again and again. I knew what it was, she was having a seizure.

The nurses and doctors rushed in and pushed me and Noah out of the way as they worked on her. Two nurses turned her on her side as she continued to convulse. The doctor took the breathing tube out of her mouth, and when he did I saw blood coming out of her mouth.

It took 5 agonizing minutes for her to stop seizing. I looked over at Noah and Chase and seen that they both were crying, as they watched.

When they turned her on her back again I seen the Doctor shine a light into both of her eyes, they were back to that beautiful green that I love. "Somehow she's breathing on her own but-"

Noah growled, causing the Doctor to stop mid sentence. "But what Doc?" He growled out; "She needs her mate. Without a mark I'm afraid she won't wake up and continue to deteriorate." he stated as he looked down at Clara.

"So do both of us mark her or just one of us?" I ask him and he turned and look over at me. "Honestly son with the state she's in, I think it'd be best if you both do it, and soon." he said with a sigh.

I looked over at Noah, and he nodded towards Clara, "You go first brother." I nodded slightly at him and turned back to Clara. I took hesitant steps as I walked over to her. I grabbed her hand and smiled slightly at the sparks the erupted.

I leaned down and kissed her cheek before whispering "I'm sorry I couldn't do this under better circumstances, and with your consent;" I said softly before I turned her head and my canines elongated.

My wolf Axel was nervous, he wanted to do this while she was awake and aware of it, not like this, but he understood why we had to do it.

I leaned down and kissed her neck before I bit into her soft flesh, I dug my canines deeper until I hit bone. I felt the tether of our bond snap in place. I could feel her pain through it and I could also feel how frightened she was. I released my canines and licked the mark to seal it.

I leaned up and motioned for Noah to take my place.

He did and he also grabbed her hand and whispered to her how he wished this wasn't how he wanted to mark her. As he dug his canines into her neck over mine, I felt her disarray I walked on the other side and grabbed her hand, letting her know that we were both here with her.

As Noah rose, he looked troubled. "What's wrong?" I asked him. "You don't feel that?" I nodded my head and looked down at Clara. "Yes, but we had to do it, Noah."

"What if she wakes up and is angry that we marked her without her consent, it's almost like we took her choice away, kind of the way a rapist would."

He looked down at her and sighed, he then lifted her hand and placed a gentle kiss on it. "She'll understand, Noah. You and Wyatt did it to help her heal." Chase told him.

He nodded his head understanding what he was telling him.

Now all we can do is wait.
