Chapter 38 : PAST (PART 2)
Draco groaned as he smacked Jace's head seeing him sitting shirtless on the chair with arms crossed.
"You made your sick mate work" Draco chuckled out as Jace sighed nodding his head.
"I said not to but I have to stay here to help Maya and Ruby" Jace shrugged his shoulder while he rubbed his face all frustrated.
"What help?" Ronin questioned as he entered the room with Loukas next to him.
"After making the safety necklaces, they would need to charge it with something and they are using my earth power. I will give them a rock and keep on holding it with my power as Ruby will add your powers in it and seal it" Jace explained what his sister-in-law told him.
"Oh, so are you done?" Loukas questioned as he saw one stone on the table that was glowing orange as Jace shook his head since he was all tired.
"Loukas I want you to focus all your energy on this stone. Concentrate and feel all your power going inside of this" Ruby spoke which confused Loukas but he eventually nodded his head as he closed his eyes and took few deep breaths as he opened his eyes that had now turned red with his hair that looked like fire.
"Concentrate Loukas" Maya scolded him as Loukas concentrated when he heard a big crash making him drop the stone as he glanced back to see a very frightened Jace standing up.
"Everything okay?" Draco questioned all worried as Jace glanced at his cousin all terrified.
"Alex" was all Jace spoke as he dashed out of the room since he heard his mate's pained voice in his head.
Draco, Loukas, Ronin, Maya, and Ruby quickly followed behind as Jace followed his mate's scent.
"ALEXANDER" Jace yelled as he quickly got down the stairs to see his mate holding Draco's shirt tightly with glasses all shattered.
"ALEX" Draco yelled as he got down the stairs as well as he saw Jace who was staring at his mate all terrified while he was frozen.
"JACE GET A GRIP" Loukas yelled as he pulled Jace back while Draco picked Alex up and quickly rushed him towards the car while Ronin helped Jace stand.
"Maya, stay here with Ruby and quickly tell the elders" Maya nodded her head as she held her scared mate's hand while they rushed away.
Loukas quickly followed behind as he sat on the passenger seat while Draco quickly yet carefully put Alexander on the back seat while Ronin made Jace sit as he put Alexander's head on Jace's lap. "Hold him tight" Draco warned as he pushed the driver away while he sat on the driver's seat. He put on the seat belt as he started the car and quickly zoomed to the hospital.
Draco parked the car as Ronin got off while Jace quickly got off as well and held his mate. They all rushed inside the hospital when the doctor saw them.
"What happened?" The doctor who was their family friend questioned as Jace's arms started to shake all scared.
"We will tell later but please save him and he is pregnant," Draco said as he helped Jace and made Alex lay on the bed when the boys noticed Alex was losing a lot of blood.
Draco glanced at his shirt that he was wearing to see Alexander's blood all over when he glanced at Jace to see his shirt had Alexander's blood as well when Jace's eyes turned golden as he growled. "SAVE MY MATE OR ELSE I WILL KILL YOU" Jace threatened the doctor as Draco held Jace back while the nurses took Alexander away.
"I will handle Jace so Loukas you do the paperwork while Ronin you go with the doctor" Draco spoke as Loukas nodded and walked away with a nurse to fill the papers while Ronin went with the doctor. Draco held Jace's wrist while he pulled him out of the hospital as Jace kept on screaming and growling angrily.
Draco made Jace sit on the bench outside when he noticed tears streaming down Jace's eyes.
Jace felt empty, it was as if a part of him left. He was scared of losing his mate yet he was angry not knowing how this happened because he remembered very well that Alex walked around the house for at least an hour or two in his human form since the doctor recommended him for 4 months.
"Hey bro everything will be alright" Draco spoke as he kept his hand on top of Jace's hand who sighed shaking his head.
"No, nothing will be alright" Jace growled out sadly as he tried to hold back his inner anger since he knew Draco was only trying to help.
"Alex will be okay so until you calm down, we can't go in" Draco tried reasoning Jace who just growled out "I wanna be with my mate" while his eyes shifted from golden to his original orangish-brown ones. "And I will take you inside if you promise not to yell or growl at the nurses and doctors" Draco held Jace's hand as he glanced at his cousin who felt empty and sad.
"I am scared Draco, he suffered so much and now he was finally happy but why did this happen" Jace tried his back to hold back the tears and not break but it was getting harder and harder as every second passed by.
"We don't know, why was he carrying that tray even though I warned him not to be in his human form?" Draco questioned confused remembering how Alex promised him that he would be careful.
"Draco, someone did this because you saw those scattered glass pieces with Juice spilled on the stairs" Jace spoke as he was now curious knowing that Jace did deny that he doesn't want more juice to Alex who agreed that he won't bring it.
"But who will do this? Maybe he was bringing this for you since he always cared for us especially you but he slipped" Draco was now curious as well but he knew for a fact no one would have done such a low move so Draco didn't point his fingers at anyone.
"I don't believe that. Someone pushed my cub and I will get to the bottom of this case" Draco growled out as his eyes went back to golden ones which made Draco sigh out "Okay you can do that but for now you need to calm down so we can stand next to him okay" while he smiled at Jace who suddenly hugged Draco since he felt really lonely and hurt.
"GUYS EMERGENCY" Ronin yelled as he rushed out while Jace and Draco broke the friendly bro hug while they both stood up.
"What is it?" Draco spoke as Ronin took deep breaths as he answered "Doctor is calling us all so quickly come in" while Jace, Ronin, and Draco quickly rushed inside to where Loukas was with the doctor. "Yes, doctor?" Loukas questioned since he saw his brothers and cousins were now next to him.
"I am sorry but we couldn't save the baby because the patient is lost a lot of blood. We need to save him but we need one of you who matches his blood group to give it to him." The doctor spoke as he checked the papers while Jace stumbled back but Loukas held his hand and made sure not to let go knowing that Jace was in shock right now hearing the news of his baby and mate.
"We checked all of your records after taking permission from prince Loukas and only prince Draco can give his blood if he wants to" The doctor spoke as Jace glanced at his cousin and sighed while he questioned "I... Is there any other way?" since he did not want Draco struggling because of him and his mate.
"I will give him my blood" Draco suddenly spoke without even thinking as Jace's eyes widened in shock while he spoke "But Draco-" as Draco shook his head and cut him off by saying "No buts you idiot. I love lil Alex just like everyone else. He is a part of my family and I won't let him leave us all this easily" which made Jace nod his head a bit relieved.
"Come on quickly. Nurse take him and get him ready" The doctor spoke as Draco quickly hugged Jace as he smiled at him and walked away with the nurse leaving Jace with Loukas and Ronin.
Jace was quite worried not just for his mate but now for Draco as well since he was his best friend, his brother, his cousin, and partner in crime. Jace knew very well that Draco won't let anything happen to his mate but every time he felt relieved, he felt a sharp pain hit through his chest when the thought of losing his baby crossed his head.
Jace rested his head on Loukas's shoulder while he held Ronin's hand as he closed his eyes trying to forget everything and just hoping that everything turns out to be alright.
Jace was waiting with his family in the VIP room. Ruby and Maya were also there all worried since it had been 2 hours already and the doctor wasn't back. Loukas and Ronin were walking around the room while Victoria and Michael were calming Elena and Gavin down.
The doctor walked in as he looked around for Jace who suddenly stood up from the corner and walked in the front while the doctor smiled at him and spoke "Your mate is out of danger" which made everyone sigh all relieved.
"Where is my cousin? Where is Draco? Is he okay?" Jace questioned all worried as he looked around for Draco as the doctor smiled at Jace.
"He is fine and with your mate" The doctor answered Jace's question as he sat on the seat all relaxed knowing his best friend and mate was now okay.
"Can he go see them?" Loukas questioned as he pulled Jace up and pushed him towards the door.
"Yes, he can but it would be great if you all don't go in at once. Go one by one to room 304" The doctor spoke as he walked out of the room as Jace glanced at his family and questioned "Who wanna go first" which made them all laugh while Ronin pushed Jace out of the VIP room.
"You go first you idiot" Maya laughed out knowing everything is a bit better now even though it hurt everyone a lot knowing that they lost a member of the family who wasn't even born yet.
Jace quickly jogged inside the room that the doctor mentioned as he saw Alex sleeping on the bed which made Jace whisper out "Cub" all sad.
"He is sleeping but he will be okay" Draco spoke as Jace glanced at Draco who was sitting on the other bed while he was rubbing his hand.
"I... I can't thank you enough for saving him even though you hate needles" Jace sighed out as he sat next to Draco.
"Hey, this is the least I can do. You both are my precious family and losing one of you is like losing you both besides I just hate needles but I am not scared of it" Draco chuckled out as he wrapped his arm around Jace.
"I don't think so I would ever be able to repay you" Jace whispered out sadly as he suddenly hugged Draco catching him off guard.
"Just accept whoever my mate is and take care of them and keep them safe" Draco smiled as he hugged Jace back who hummed happily while tears prickled his eyes knowing how much of a great cousin and friend Draco is to him.
"I promise I would never leave your mates side even if you end up hating me for sticking so close to them" Jace spoke as he let Draco go as he stood up and held Alexander's hand while Draco stood up and walked up to Jace while he whispered "Idiot" as he kept his hand on top of Jace and Alex's hand smiling.
Jace smiled at Draco as he glanced back at Alexander while he frowned seeing his mate all bandaged up which made Jace hum as he now knew very well that he needs to get to the bottom of this case since whoever did this killed his baby while he made sure that he needs to keep his mate safe.☐☐☐☐☐
