Alpha Jax
Chapter Thirty-Three: Jax

I ran through the hospital trying to get back to her room. I ran into Sean and my mother on the way to Dakota’s room.

“I have a gut feeling, what happened?” Sean was on edge, as was my mother.

“I don’t know. I went to go get food and a nurse agreed to watch her. I just saw her respond to a code blue, but I felt a sharp pain on my head and I don’t think Dakota is safe anymore.” I explained as I continued to run to Dakota’s room. I burst through the door and inhaled. I couldn’t smell anyone’s scent, but Dakota was bleeding from her head. I roared in anger and a doctor came rushing in. He put his hands on his head and his mouth was agape. He quickly ran over to Dakota and started cleaning her wound.

“How the fuck did this happen?” I felt Ryder very close to the surface and the doctor hesitated.

“Alpha, I don’t know. I turned away for two seconds to quickly sign a form. I didn’t smell anything new I would have known!” I started to shake and my mother came up and put her hand on my shoulder.

“Jax, there’s no time to get upset right now. You need to figure out who did this. Doctor, will she be okay?” The doctor sighed and looked her over.

“She has blunt force trauma to the head. Alpha, do you feel her being far away?” I took in a breath and let it out. I concentrated on if she was far away, and after a few more moments I sighed in relief.

“No,” The doctor nodded and continued talking.

“She might have a concussion when she wakes up. Just let us know when she wakes up Alpha. I’m truly sorry,” He bowed and quickly left the room. I growled and looked over to Sean.

“Get in contact with your father. I’ll contact Logan and Jacob.” Sean nodded and I linked Jacob and Logan.

‘Jacob, Loga, get your asses here now.’

‘What happened? Is Dakota fine?’ Logan asked.

‘No. I left a nurse in charge of watching her and she left when there was a code blue. Someone tried to kill Dakota.’

I looked over at Sean and he got off of the phone with John.

“He’s coming. He’s not happy.” I sighed and nodded.

About ten minutes later everyone was back in the room. Layla was standing toward the back on the room with her head down. Jacob was ignoring her and I sighed slightly to myself. She needs to go through the consequences of saying those horrible things.

“Someone tried to kill Dakota. I need to figure out who it was. Jacob, you’ll check security cameras. Logan, I know it’s hard but can you track a scent in here?” Logan sniffed the air and sighed.

“No, but it does smell like someone used a scent covering spray. It’ll be near impossible figuring out who did this.” I growled in anger and Destiny spoke up.

“How did this even happen?” I pinched the bridge of my nose.

“A nurse disobeyed an order and left Dakota without anyone watching her.”

“Where were you?” Layla spoke up but didn’t look me in the eyes.

“Getting food for the first time in about a week,” I stated bluntly and I knew she wanted to say something.

“What? Want to say something about how I finally left the room and that’s when she got hurt? Try me, Layla.” I growled out and I felt her anger.

“You couldn’t have had food brought up here?” I groaned and rubbed my face.

“I haven’t fucking moved in a week, Layla. I thought it would be best for my health if I fucking moved.” I felt the tension in the air and Layla huffed. I heard a groan come from Dakota and I stood up and held her hand. She gasped and quickly opened her eyes. I saw confusion, some happiness, and fear.

“Where am I?” I felt my heart drop. No. Not now.

“Dakota, you’re in the pack hospital,” I spoke and she looked at me weirdly.

“Pack hospital? What the hell is that?” I lost my breath and my mouth was agape. She slowly moved her hand away from mine and I felt my heartbreak.

“Dakota, how old are you?” Sean asked.

“Sixteen, you know this. More importantly,” She glanced at me.

“Who are you?”
