Liv's Pov...
My eyes slowly opened, getting accustomed to the ambience as the memories of what happened flashed into my head.
I could recall the intimate moments between Max and I but what I couldn't recall was what happened after that.
Why did I feel so suffocated? It felt as though someone was intentionally stopping my breathing and that thought scared me to stupor.
I winced in pain, trying to raise my body up "Liv what are you doing? please rest some more. You aren't fully recovered" Ryder said with concern laced through his voice.
He held my hand, slowly pushing my body on the bed. He arranged the pillow and I placed my head on it.
There were a lot of thoughts in my head and I didn't get to notice the triplets were all in the from including the doctor.
"It's been three hours and you haven't been able to tell us why she passed out?" Max asked, his gaze fixated on the doctor.
"I guess that question should be directed at you because you were with Liv" Callum pronounced, thrusting his hand into his pocket as Max let out a frustrated sigh, then he scoffed.
"How am I supposed to know? the last I recalled, I'm an alpha not a doctor" Max replied.
"I have conducted several checkups on her and there's nothing wrong with her" the doctor divulged, his words leaving every surprised especially Max.
"What you're saying can't be possible because she fainted in my arms and there's no way it's ordinary" Max declared and I placed my hand on my forehead.
The headache I felt was throbbing, it was as though my head was banging repeatedly on the wall and their loud voices added more to the excruciating pain I was feeling.
"That's enough please" I managed to mutter with a low voice but I knew they could hear me as they all kept mute.
"She might be reacting to something and I can't find out what is wrong with her so with your permission I will take my leave" the doctor said, grabbing his briefcase from the counter then he bowed his head in respect and walked out.
"What really happened to me? I mean I passed out when I wasn't feeling sick or stressed" I queried, watching them cast glanced at each other.
"That's what we don't know Liv. We are still trying to get answers, not even the doctor can help us. He's a good for nothing scoundrel" Ryder cursed out with irritation scrunched on his face.
I knew my body well and I could tell if I was sick, I left the dark sky pack perfectly fit.
The pain I felt was behind this world and I wouldn't for once wish it upon my worst enemy.
The feeling of not being able to breathe and the harder I struggled, the worst it became. I hadn't felt anything like that before.
"How are you feeling now Liv? any better?" Ryder asked, plopping onto the bed and he sat beside Liv.
He took my hands in his but I quickly removed it from his hold "I need to leave" I pronounced, trying to raise my body up and Callum cleared his throat, sniffing in.
"If you will ask me I'll say it isn't a good idea to leave so soon. You just fainted out of the blues and we need to watch you to make sure it doesn't happen again" Callum said and I pulled off the duvet from my body, standing up to my feet.
"That's why I didn't ask you Callum. I said I want to leave right now"
Max came forward, stopping right in front of me and placed his hands on my shoulders.
"Please Liv, try to understand that we aren't forcing you to stay here against your own will. We just want you to be completely stromg so we can be relieved and if you leave who will take care of you?" Max asked.
"Let me remind you of what you've forgotten. I'm going to the dark sky pack and Frank is there to take care of me" I blurted out and their faces lost it's brightness.
It was certain from the look on their faces that the were trying hard not to get pissed.
"Stop getting things twisted, we are your mates and Frank isn't. We should be the ones getting all the attention you give to Frank" Max said, trying to keep his anger in check.
I was glad to know he finally realized that raising his voice wouldn't change the way I thought except I decided to do so.
"Liv I know you're scared and also angry about how you've been treated in the pack but I can always hold your hand and lead you to the hall where I will announce you as my mate and let's see who goes against me" Callum voiced out.
"What if someone does goes up against you? " I questioned.
"I'll strike fear into anyone who dares treat you wrongly" he answered back.
"Including Luna Rebecca?" I asked and Callum immediately went shut.
I continued "That's where my problem lies. The pack members aren't the issue but your mum is, she won't let me be at peace and I've suffered my whole life that what I want right now is just to be happy" I muttered.
"You know fully well we can give you so much happiness and more but for some reason you're always ready to choose Frank over us. What do you see in him that we lack?" Ryder asked, his question throwing me off balance and I could see he was truly hurt but trying his possible best to hide the rage swelling up within him.
"I'm with Frank because I need answers to my unending questions" I let out with a sigh.
"What do you mean? what answers are you looking for?" Max asked.
"I don't think I'm am omega" I revealed, leaving everyone stunned at my sudden revelation.
"I would have guessed so. Is Frank filling your head with such doubts so you'll stay with him? Is this what it is all about and why are you trying to change your self to fit in?" Callum retorted.
"We'll always love you, it doesn't matter to us if you're an omega or not" Ryder said.
"That's not what this is about. I just want to find answers that's all and Frank is the only one who can give me those answers" I declared.
My hands left the bed stand I was holding onto for support as I tried to walk.
It felt my world was spinning in circles and I could barely see, it all appeared blurry to me.
I guess I underestimated how sick I felt but I was going to try my possible best not to appear weak before them so they won't stop me from leaving.
It was really important for me to go. I walked towards the door but I stopped in track.
I turned my head to see Callum holding my hand and gazing into my eyes.
"I'm tired of fighting Liv. I can't do this anymore. I want you back" Callum muttered, every word he spewed out I could feel it inside of me.
I was taken aback because it was so unreal of Callum to be so direct with his feelings, I never expected it.
"I promise Callum, I am not doing this on purpose" I let out in the softest tone ever as I walked out of the room.
