Filed To Story: Falling for the Alpha As a Student Novel
“Lila, stay with me,”
I said to her, shaking her gently as her eyes fluttered shut. She was losing a lot of blood and consciousness.
I heard the faint sounds of the sirens in the distance and relief flooded through me. The ambulance was going to be here any minute.
Despite her eyes being shut and her breathing growing heavy, Lila kept her hands on their belly protectively. I was busy holding onto her and keeping her safe and warm to notice that the ambulance had already been parked, and the emergency team was racing toward us with a gurney.
“Help me get her on the gurney, Alpha,”
one of the medics said as she took one of Lila’s arms. Max didn’t like this man touching our mate and let out a lowly growl. He immediately dropped the hand and staggered backward.I stood with Lila in my arms, and I placed her on the gurney. She had sweat beading at the top of her head and dripping down her flushed cheeks. I ran my fingers down the side of her face, feeling her warmth and the electric current that followed my touch against her flesh.
“It’s going to be okay…”
I whispered to her. “I’m not leaving your side.”
I bent and brushed my lips against hers just as the medics began to bring her toward their ambulance. I turned to a very worried and tear-filled Selene who wanted to go with her daughter.
“Follow us in your car,”
I told them, looking up at Bastien who nodded.
Without another word, I turned and hurried onto the ambulance, taking my seat beside Lila’s gurney.

Lila’s POV
It felt like I was weightless, or like I was flying. I couldn’t feel my body. Maybe it was just completely numb. I couldn’t tell. My memory of the previous events was foggy, but I remembered I was about to walk down the aisle to marry my mate, and then something happened. I was feeling all sorts of pain in my lower abdomen, and I knew almost right away that it was my pups. Something was wrong; they weren’t due for another month, and I shouldn’t be feeling this much pain and discomfort.
When everything went dark, I thought to myself, “This is it. This is how I’m going to die.”
But then I felt arms around me and cradling me in a chest that I could just melt in and in that moment, I realized I was going to be okay. Everything was going to be okay because I had my mate by my side, and I knew he wasn’t going to leave me.
The last thing I remembered before I completely lost consciousness was the whimpering of my wolf in distress as she struggled to keep our pups protected.
….
The soft beeping of the monitor was what woke me. As soon as I opened my eyes, I was met with a dim light and the scent of latex. As I came through, I started to feel the discomfort my body felt.
I knew I was alone as well, and it made my stomach tighten as I only feared the worst had happened.
I lifted my head slightly, trying to grasp my surroundings. I groaned as pain shot through my entire body. I touched my stomach and felt the bandage that had been wrapped around my waist and covering my belly.
Panic began to rise through me when I touched my belly and didn’t feel the twins kicking like they usually do. My heart began to race rapidly against my ribcage and for a minute, I feared I was going to get sick.
The door opened and I felt the warmth and smelled the incredible scent of Enzo. He looked tired but when his eyes found mine, his entire body relaxed, and he gave me a relieved smile.
“You’re awake,”
he breathed, closing the door behind him. “I’ve been so worried. They said you would wake up within this hour, but I was still so worried.”
He sat down at my bedside and took my hands into his, raising them to his lips and kissing them gently.
“How are you feeling?”
He asked in a hushed whisper.
“How long have I been sleeping?”
I found myself asking, ignoring his question completely.
“A little over 12 hours,”
he answered, making my entire body freeze.
He ran his fingers down the side of my face, making me tremble from his touch.
“I ruined our wedding,”
I whispered, tears filling my eyes.
He shook his head and bent himself even further down so he could press his forehead against mine.
“No, you didn’t,”
he breathed. “We can get married anytime. I’m just glad you’re alive.”
I could no longer hold them in; tears began to rush out of my eyes at a rapid speed and I bit onto my bottom lip to keep from sobbing.
“And the twins?”
I asked. “Did our pups….”
My voice trailed off, unable to form the words on my lips. “Are they—”
Before I could get the question out, the door swung open, and Dr. Schmitt walked into the room. When she saw that I was awake, she smiled, seemingly relieved.
“Hello, Lila,”
she greeted kindly. “Welcome back to the land of the living.”
“Hey…”
I said, trying to force a smile, but I was just so worried about the twins. “What happened ot me?”
Dr. Schmitt stood on the other side of my bed and started to check my vitals.
“You were having a late-term miscarriage,”
she said simply as she jotted some notes on her clipboard.
My entire heart plummeted into my stomach.
“It happens sometimes with high amounts of stress; it can cause some complications leading up to the birth. It happens more so with twins. The more babies you have, the greater the risk,”
she continued.
I was completely frozen. Did she just say I had a miscarriage?
I couldn’t breathe as nausea rose into my stomach and began to enter my throat.
“But because you have Volana blood and a very strong wolf, between the two your pups were kept alive while being transferred to the hospital. We were able to perform an emergency C-section and your babies were born healthily.”
Lila’s POV
When the nurse brought in my two healthy baby boys, my entire heart swelled. I couldn’t believe I was a mom; I couldn’t believe I was looking at my babies. They were so tiny, and one was wrapped in a green blanket and the other was wrapped in a blue one.
“I just gave them a bottle and changed their diapers,”
the nurse said in a hushed tone as she stepped toward my bedside. “Do you want to hold them?”
I hadn’t realized I was crying until she spoke to me. I sniffled and wiped the tears that had fallen onto my cheeks as I nodded.
“Yes,”
I managed to get out in a whisper.
She swiftly placed each baby into the crook of my arm. The babies both stirred for a moment before their little bodies relaxed. My heart swelled even more, and I couldn’t keep the tears from pouring down my face.
They were so cute and perfect with their little noses and mouths. It was too early to tell who they looked more like because their eyes were closed, but they had dark hair and little chubby cheeks.
“My beautiful pups,”
I whispered.
Enzo sat on the side of the bed and peered down at them.
“Yeah, they are,”
he agreed. “Wait until they open their eyes.”
I smiled as I cradled the pups in my arms, but then the memory of our wedding surfaced in my head and suddenly, I couldn’t breathe.
I stared up at Enzo with wide eyes as he gazed down at the pups; he didn’t notice the frantic look on my face. We had an entire wedding and wedding guests that we left behind because I had to go to the hospital. I’ve been here for over 12 hours; what had happened to them? Did they all leave?
“The wedding….”
I whispered with complete horror in my tone.
