Soulmate Of A True Alpha
Scene 39

Hannah? What are you still doing here?

I jerk my head up. I fell asleep in the hospital room.

Me: Good morning, Argent gentlemen.

Christ: Hello Hannah, I’m sorry to have woken you up.

Me: It doesn’t matter. I’ve got to go anyway

He nods and leans over to look at his daughter’s wound.

Christ: Did you… Healed it?

Me: Of course! She’s my best friend!

He smiles gently. It’s one of the first times I’ve seen him smile.

Christ: Could you… come round to my flat tomorrow? I’ve got something for you.

Me: OK, no problem.

He nods and I smile gently at him before leaving to get into the lift. I take advantage of the fact that I’m alone to teleport myself to my room.

Stiles: You suck, Scott!

Scott: Not my fault! You cheated!

Stiles: Jealous!

I laugh and go downstairs to join them in the living room.

Me: You gave up Star Wars?

They shout with a start

Me: I forgot to tell you I was coming, didn’t I?

Scott: That’s it

Me: Sorry!

I’m going to sit between them and watch their game

Me: Mario Kart? Isn’t that kind of expiring?

They both look at each other shocked then turn to me

Stiles and Scott: HOW CAN YOU SAY THAT MCCALL !!!!

I laugh

Me: No, but it’s a good game, well it was, in 2009!

Scott: Let’s get him!

Me: Oh oh .

I try to get up but they grab me and bury me under the cushions. I burst out laughing. Of course I could run away but that wouldn’t be part of the game. I stop moving completely and hold my breath.

Stiles: Is it normal for her to stop moving?!

Scott: Uh-oh!

I feel the cushions come off and close my eyes. One of them slowly approaches me and…

Me: BOUH!

The two boys scream and I get up but I fall over because I’m laughing too hard.

Stiles: Wait, is she laughing at us?

Scott: It looks a lot like that yeah!

Stiles throws herself at me and tickles me. I’m laughing even harder and trying to get him off me, but I’m running out of strength from laughing so hard.

The day after

Chris lets me in and we go to his office. It’s strange to come here when Allison isn’t here.

Me: How’s Allison?

Chris: Wonderfully well! The doctors are doing some final tests and they’re going to wake her up in a few days.

Me: That’s great!

A huge smile creeps across my lips. Allison’s going to wake up! The pack is going to be complete!

Chris: And it’s all thanks to you, Hannah. I wanted to thank you for saving my daughter.

Me: But I…

He pulls out a Katana from under his desk and hands it to me.

Chris: Allison got it on one of our expeditions, she wanted to give it to you on your birthday but given what you’ve done, why not now?

He puts it in my hands but I don’t move… I just don’t know what to do or say.

Me: But… why?

Chris: She told me that time you went to the church to get Scott and Kira, you were exceptional with the Katana.

Me: No, I mean, it means a lot to me to receive such a wonderful gift, but… I don’t deserve it. I didn’t save Argent, the proof is that she’s in an artificial coma because her wounds were so deep that she lost a lot of b***d. I didn’t save your daughter, the doctors did.

I put the Katana on the desk

Me: Thank you so much for…

Chris: Stop it. If you hadn’t been there, if you hadn’t fought those people, if you hadn’t sent Scott to take her to hospital, my daughter wouldn’t be in hospital, she’d be in a coffin and in the ground.

He picks up the katana again and places it in my hands with more insistence. I smile and look at this magnificent object. I run my hand along the silver blade and smile. Small white stones are embedded in the weapon and shine in the light, and the handle is golden. I smile and look at Chris again

Me: Thanks a lot Chris, he’s great

I take him in my arms. He doesn’t move for a few seconds, then puts his hand on my back and I smile even more. Bring on the monster! I’m ready to face anything now!
