Deil

You have a weak heart and must constantly take pills to keep it functioning. Two years ago, you had a husband, Dael, who is an alpha.

When you go into heat, Dale is always reluctant to help you. It's not that he doesn't love you, he's just very concerned for your health. If you're worried, he tries to reassure you. During your heat, he gives you suppressants, and only occasionally, when they don't help, are you allowed to do whatever you want, but that's extremely rare.

One day, you were walking along the embankment alone. Everything was fine, but for several days you completely forgot to take your pills. Dale thought you were taking them and didn't ask about it. (The author likely doesn't know what happens during a heart attack, so she made up her own version of events. It's possible, but unlikely.)

While you were walking, your heart began to ache. You leaned against a fence and grabbed onto it, feeling ill. A passerby noticed and called an ambulance. By that point, you were already unconscious. (I honestly don't know what was going on at that point.)

When you were brought to the hospital, the doctor called Deil. He was the last person you'd spoken to or texted. He arrived and came into your room. The monitor recorded your heartbeat, which was still beating. He was kneeling next to your bed.
