The Gamma's Heart
The Gamma’s Heart – Chapter 19

Wyatt POV

After her wolf shifted back to her human form, I helped Noah clean her up and put a shirt on her. He asked me if I wanted her in my room or his, with how the day went down I knew when she woke up she wouldn’t want to be near me.

But when I entered my room after coming back from my house with my bags in my hand I seen he put her in my room.

I sighed deeply, she’ll kill me just for being in the same room with her.

I rumaged through my bag and pulled out some clothes, I turned the light on in the bathroom when I walked in, turning the water on I leaned against the sink basin waiting for the water to heat up.

-FLASHBACK-

“Chase told me all of this. Now can we please talk about this later?” hearing her say those words pissed me off more, I didn’t realize my aura slipped out until I seen the others baring their neck to me.

All except for Clara, she looked upset about that as she glanced at her friends. “Wyatt, you’re hurting them. Knock it off.” The look she gave me along with the tone she used caused me to increase the aura around them.

“Now stop, we can talk about this later,” I wanted to talk about now, couldn’t she get that?

“we talk about it now.” I couldn’t regain my control as it reached her, I tried to drop it but my anger was makikg it impossible. She was whimpering lightly as she fought it off, her skin was glistening from the sweat dipping down her face.

“Not while you’re acting like this.” she gritted out. I’m assumimg her father’s bloodline is the only reason she’s been able to fight it off this long.

I heard the door burst open and Noah stepped between the two of us, he looked at her then at me. “Wyatt, drop the aura, you’re hurting her.” I tried again to drop it, but the more I thought about Quentin touching her with his hands as he took advantage of her drunk body only infuriated me more.

“Wyatt she’s part Gamma your Beta/Alpha aura is hurting her. I know you feel it. You’re stronger than she is, the fact that she’s still standing is a minor miracle.” Noah said as he gripped my shoulders, I pushed him away from me.

“It’s probably the Alpha in her that’s keeping her up.” I didn’t mean to snap at him or push him but I couldn’t help it.

“Don’t make me command you to stop brother. I don’t want to hurt you.” I moved my eyes from her to glare at my cousin.

“Why are you doing this? What has you so pissed off?” he wasn’t angry he was just concerned about me, it takes alot to really piss me off.

“I found out who she slept with that night. It was that bastard Quentin Dane!” I seethed “That f*****g sadistic bastard is the reason I felt sick for half an hour the night of that party.”

“I get you’re upset with who it was, but why are you taking it out on her? Now drop the aura before I drop you!”

I shook my head “I’ve already tried but every time I think about him touching her it makes me more angry.” Noah sighed, he took a quick glance at Calra then he turned back to me. “You want me to command you to drop it? But know if I do, she’s gonna feel that one aswell, she’ll be in even more agony.”

I wanted him to command me, but I didn’t want her to hurt anymore than she already was. I shook my head. “No, I’ll try to drop it.”

“Just think about her. Not him, just her and how the mate bond makes you feel when yo are together okay..” I nodded, he then turned and I watched him walk towards her.

-END OF FLASHBACK-

I g*****d, then I began stripped my clothes off then hopping in the shower. About 20 minutes into my shower I heard a whimper from the bedroom. I quickly turned the shower off and got out, wrapping a towel around my waist.

When I walked out I heard another one. It was Clara, she was having a nightmare. It was probably about me, I sighed at the thought.

I walked back in the bathroom and quickly dried off and got dressed. I grabbed the other pillow from the bed after making sure she was alright, then grabbed a blanket from the closet.

I then sat on the couch and leaned my head back against it. I should’ve had better control, otherwise her witch side wouldn’t have taken over and forced her to shift.

She’d be fine, pissed off yes but she’d be fine.

As I set up the couch there was a light knock on the door before it opened. Noah poked his head in.

His eyes landed on me, “you’re not sleeping in the bed with her?” I shook my head, and laid back, “she’s not gonna want to be near me when she wakes up.”

“Wyatt, you don’t know that!” Noah argued.

“I do know that Noah. I hurt her, my aura tried to make her submit to me, and I never wanted that. I just got so pissed off that I couldn’t drop it.”

He walked over and sat on the edge of the bed, beside her. He moved some hair from her face and tucked it behind her ear. “You should bring her to your room” he shook his head. “I have patrol at 6am, I can’t.”

I rolled onto my side not liking that I’d probably be murdered when she woke up and seen me. “Fine, but do hurry back. Her room isn’t gonna be fixed for another day or so. I don’t want her to be around me if she’s not comfortable with it.”

“I’ll try, you know how those patrols can get. And we’ve seen rouges nearby so I don’t know when I’ll be back.” he said as he got up.

“I’ll call Chase to come sit with her if she don’t want to be around me.” I said with my eyes drooping shut. I heard the door click closed before sleep slowly took me.

**********

I g*****d as I rolled onto my back, maybe this couch wasn’t such a great idea. Sitting up I cracked my sore back. “She’s still not awake,” Axel whimpered. “She’s okay buddy.” I reassured him.

He came forward and I let him. He wanted to see for himself that she was okay. “Check on her for me?” he asked me. I nodded and got off the bed. “You know we’d feel it if something was wrong.”

“I don’t care, make me feel better.” he urged and i laughed quietly at him.

I sat on the bed beside her. She’d tossed and turned all night. She woke me up several times by do it, along with the light whimpers she let out. I ran my and through her hair, and she stirred a bit. I wanted to wake her but couldn’t bring myself to say anything to garner her attention.

Axel fought for me to wake her up, but I had to shove him back before he got full control. I moved up the bed, and leaned against the headboard. I’m gonna let her sleep as long as she needed to.

I picked up my phone from the nightstand and decided to play some games. “She awake yet?” Noah asked through the link “still asleep.” I replied as I focused on my game again. “Dude wake her up, it’s been nearly a whole day”

“You’re as bad as my wolf you know that?” I told him. I turned my phone off and turned back to her.

“Clara?” I whispered, rubbing my thumb along her cheekbone. “It’s time to wake up sweetheart,” I urged. She g*****d and rolled onto her back. “10 more minutes, Chase.” she mumbled pulling the blanket over her head.

I chuckled at her confused state. “It’s Wyatt, it’s time to wake up. You’ve been asleep for quite sometime.”

She huffed and moved the blanket back down. “Where’s Noah?”

“He’s on patrol,” I said softly. She didn’t want me around her, it hurt but I understood why. “And my friends?” I sighed, “it’s Monday they are at school. Noah talked to the principle and has you excused for today and tomorrow.”

She nodded “why am I in here?” her eyes looked hollow, I suppose that’s how she felt because I felt nothing from her.

“Your room needed to be fixed, it’ll be ready sometime tomorrow.” I told her, she let out a breath and closed her eyes. “Clara, I’m sorry about what I did yesterday. When I realized my aura slipped out, I tried to drop it but I couldn’t.”

Her eyes fluttered open, they had tears brimming in them and I instantly felt horrible about my actions. “Just tell me she didn’t hurt anybody.”

I c****d my head to the side. “Depends”

“on what?” I hesitated for a moment “Who did she hurt, Wyatt?” I took a deep breath, “You,”

Her eyebrows bunched together, she then sat up and turned towards me “I don’t understand, she hurt me?” I nodded my head slowly.

“she cast a spell after lying and forcing someone to…Clara she made you shift.” I couldn’t tell her, her best friend was forced to stab her.

“That’s not possible. How is that possible?” She asked raising her voice a little. That’s when I felt her fear and panic,

“it’s okay, Clary is alright. Our wolves took her out in the woods and watched after her, until she herself passed out from the exhaustion from the shift. When you shifted back we brought you back here, cleaned you up and let you rest.” her emotions subsided after I told her that her wolf was okay.

I reached for her but she moved away from me. “I can call your brother if you like?” I offered, she hesitated but then shook her head.

“No it’s fine. I’m sorry, but everything is still fresh. We’ll be okay, just not… not right this second.”

“I can grab you some clothes if you want a bath,” I offered and she nodded “thank you,”

“you’re welcome.” I said getting up. I didn’t feel like walking to the other hallway, so I got another shirt out of my bag, and handed it to her as she walked by me.
