The Gamma's Heart
The Gamma’s Heart – Chapter 56

Wyatt was downstairs in the living room while Noah stayed up in the bedroom with Clara.

He wanted to be the one to ask her what that thing was on her side was because his temper wasn’t as bad as Wyatt’s was.

They asked Samuel what it was and he seemed awfully nervous because they seen it, but he didn’t answer them. Just said that we should ask her.

“Hey” Noah smiled when he seen that she had woken up.

Looking around she seen she was in their bedroom and not the guest bedroom, she rubbed the sleep from her eyes and returned his smile “how long was I alseep?”

Looking out the window Noah seen it was now night time, she slept most of the evening. “A few hours”

“I’m sorry” she really didn’t mean to fall asleep, she just wanted to rest a bit because her side was killing her again.

Noah smiled again “it’s fine, but when Wyatt moved you….I noticed something.”

He heart her heart rate pick up slightly he got up and sat next to her on the bed and grabbed her hand in his. Noah moved it to where he could place a subtle k**s on the back of it and he watched as she closed her eyes.

He then placed his other hand on her side and she jumped lightly from the contact and it made him upset at what she was hiding from them.

“What is this angel?”

Clara looked away from him, his worried eyes were makimg her feel terrible for not telling them about it. “I…” she stoped and took a deep breath.

“Call Wyatt, I’ll tell you both together.” she whispered.

Noah went to remove his hand from her side but she grabbed it and looked back at him, her green eyes clashing with his hazel ones. “It don’t hurt as bad when you are touching it.”

He nodded and rubbed the area softly. Noah then linked Wyatt telling him to come up here, he had the baby so it would just be the four of them tonight.

Samuel left after dinner saying he had friends to go meet.

Hearing the bedroom door open a few minutes later Noah looked over and seen him walk in. “Where’s Bailey?”

“”Asleep!” Wyatt said with a smile “although she was a bit fussy, she didn’t seem to want me.” he glared playfully at Clara knowing she couldn’t see him because her eyes were closed.

Noah turned his attention back to his mate who seemed like she was falling asleep again. “Clara, angel wake up..”

He leaned down and gently kissed her lips, making her eyes open partly.

“Not fair…” Noah chuckled at her.

Wyatt sat down at the foot of the bed “You can’t tell us what’s going on if you are asleep sweetheart.”

She pecked a k**s on Noah’s lips once more before pushing on his chest to move him away.

“The sleepiness is part of what is wrong.” Clara sat up and leaned up against the headboard. “I should have told you when I first came home, but I didn’t want to worry you or….put you in danger.”

“Our wolves know what’s wrong with you but they won’t tell us…why is that?” Noah asked her with furrowed eyebrows.

Shanking her head. “I didn’t ask Clary to do that, I had no idea she was going to tell any of your wolves what was going on. In fact I was worried that they would tell you and break the bond that all of you guys have with her.”

Axel growled forcibly coming forward. “I’d never hurt her. No matter what happens.”

Clara smiled at him “Deep down I know that Axel. But you know why I feel that way.”

Noah could feel his own wolf pacing around in his head “Are you ready to tell us?”

She shook her head, honestly she didn’t want them to know anything at all. She was hoping to deal with everything on her own and leave everyone out of it.

But things were progressing faster than even Samuel had thought they would, and she was getting weaker, Amara was drawing on her energy daily and it was taking its toll.

She could see it when she looked in the mirror, before she even came home she had lost a little bit of weight because she had slept more than normal.

“Where would you like me to start?” Clara asked avoiding both of their gazes.

Wyatt moved up and laid down where his head was on her thigh. “From where you think is important.”

“And if you can…” Noah gently gripped her chin and made her look at him. “unblock us, we don’t care what it is you are feeling.”

“You don’t want to feel what I feel, it hurts Noah!” she whispered

“We. Do. Not. Care.” Noah repeated

Clara took in a shallow breath and closed her eyes, “I was cursed a few weeks ago by a witch who claimed she was my great grandmother Amara.”

Wyatt’s body shot up and turned to her. He and Noah both knew the stories that Samuel has told about that psychotic woman.

“Sam, said that the mark you seen when it turned brown she has control over Clary but…..when it turns black,” she paused and sighed

“It will kill me and she will take over my body, letting her live again.” Clara looked at both of their faces and wanted to hide from the fury in their eyes.

“Do you remember when you both submitted to me at Josie’s house?” They nodded, still angry. “That wasn’t my aura, or my power. It was hers.”

“So those terrors that you get at night?” Noah asked through gritted teeth.

She nodded her head. “Sometimes it’s her, sometimes it’s memories of the attack where you died.”

Noah and Wyatt sofened their features hearing her answer. She stopped looking at them when she seen how angry they were, and she thought that they were mad at her.

No, they wanted to kill the witch that hurt her and has cursed her.

“Is that it?” Wyatt asked, she shook her head but didn’t answer, her eyes filling with unwanted tears and it made them worry.

“How bad is it?” he asked while gripping her hand in his hoping to calm her.

“Axel and Kane can tell you!” Clara whispered looking down at their hands, she closed her eyes trying to ignore what she was feeling from them and her own pain.

No matter how long she was gone she always felt everything Wyatt was feeling, his anger, sadness, happiness even his longing to see her again.

There were a few moments where it got so bad that she almost came home.

“Clara…” Noah said softly making her look up at him

“please don’t, I’m already upset about it.” A single tear slipped down her cheek and she quickly brushed it away.

He cupped her cheeks making her look him in the eyes “Unblock it please? We can take it, we can do this together. You don’t have to do this alone anymore.”

A sob left her and she nodded her head confirming his words, she knew she wasn’t alone anymore.

A few moments go by and slowly they began to feel her emotions, she was easing them into it before they really felt anything.

They felt hurt, and confusion, hate, saddness and anxiety, a bit of happiness and love.

Then they felt an ache all over and a pain in their left side, it even burned. Did it always feel like that? A rush a sleepiness washed over them even a bit of hunger but they knew she wouldn’t eat if she was still tired.

When they finally felt everything they could, they understood why she kept them blocked out. It was intense, and they didn’t even get the full effect of it.

“Do you want a shawer or a bath before you lay back down?” Noah asked her gently.

“If I take a bath I’ll fall asleep, and I don’t have the strength to shower.”

Wyatt stood up “We can help you! As mates it’s our job to help when our other half isn’t well.”

Noah heard a g***n come from her as Wyatt lifted her from the bed. They walked into the bathroom and Noah turned on the shower, he then turned and decided to fill up the tub aswell for when they were finished.

Wyatt was working her clothes off and she stopped him when he went for her shirt, making him look in her eyes. “Don’t look at it please. I know it’s big and it’s not pretty but please don’t-“

Her words were cut off with a k**s from him, her hands found their way to his face before he parted.

“You make everything look beautiful. Every bad thing you’ve done, every kill you did, every scar you have, everything.” Wyatt told her before removing her hands and lifting her shirt up and off her body.

“Still beautiful” he murmured against her ear then reached for the clasp to her bra so he could remove it aswell.

When he was finished he helped her into the shower not caring that he was still fully clothed.

“You are getting your clothes wet, Wyatt!”

He pulled her flush against him as Noah got in also wearing his clothes. “We’re here to help you, we don’t care about our clothes.”

“You’ll make a mess!” Clara said softly, while looking at Noah who was now getting soaked from the water running in the shower.

Noah shook his head “would you rather us take our clothes off?” he raised an eyebrow at her in question.

She knew where his question was leading and looked away from him. This is why she wanted to be in the guest room.

She asked for time and he has refused to give it to her, she could feel his want through their bond.

She didn’t have the energy to perform any s****l deeds for him tonight even if they did do anuthing.

“If we did complete the mating Noah, it wouldn’t be the greatest experience you and I have ever had!”

“It can just be you and I, Wyatt won’t touch you if that helps.”

She looked up at him and seen him smile down at her, his beautiful brown orbs holding nothing but love in them. “Just block me out this one time, while I go make you something to eat.”

He kissed the crown of her head before handing her over to Noah and stripping so he didn’t make a water mess.

Noah removed his shirt with one arm while the other stayed wrapped around his gorgeous mate. He then worked his shorts and boxers off too, that being a little harder than it seemed since they were now soaked.
