I scream from the desperation.
“Ella, wake up. You are having a nightmare. It is not real. Focus on my voice”
Beta Joseph’s voice seeps into my nightmare, making it vanish instantly.
I open my eyes slowly and look directly at his blue eyes. Looking into his eyes sends a wave of security into my whole body, relieving it from the imaginary pain I was experiencing in my nightmare.
He was standing over me, his hands were holding the top of my shoulders.
When he was sure that I am no longer trapped in the nightmare, he let go of me and sat at the edge of my bed.
“Are you okay?” he asks me in concern.
I was breathing hard, sweating and shaking. I manage to nod tightly.
“Here, have some water. It will calm you down”
He helped me to a sitting position, and gave me a plastic cup filled with water.
I finished it in one gulp. I was so thirsty, I realized.
“Do you want some more?”
“Yes please”
He hands me another filled cup of water. I drink it slowly this time.
I take a look around me. We weren’t in a hospital room like I was expecting myself to be. It was a large room with big windows. It had its own bathroom and closet. It also had a gigantic sofa and a TV mounted on the wall in front of it. I look at the bed I was sleeping in. It was a super comfortable king sized bed with the softest sheets I’ve ever slept on.
I hold on to the cup as I nervously ask him while avoiding his eyes “Was I… screaming?”
“Don’t linger on it, Ella. It was just a nightmare” he says softly.
It wasn’t a nightmare actually, it was a memory.
“Where are we exactly, beta?” I ask him to change the subject.
“We are at the head pack house. This is your room from now on” he gestures to the room we are in right now.
I stare at him in surprise. I must have misheard him. No way this huge room is mine.
“My room?” I ask again just to be sure.
He smiles a little and says “Yes it is all yours, you are free to do whatever you want with it”
Why would they give a servant a huge room like this? With huge windows, private bathroom, and a freaking TV!
“You look very surprised that this is your room Ella” he says curiously.
“I… just… I don’t know. I feel like I…”
“Don’t deserve it?” he guesses.
I remain quiet as that was exactly what I was thinking.
“Well, I had nothing to do with it. But if you ask me, you deserve a lot more than this. It was alpha Klaus’s orders to give you this room actually. Think of it as a tiny part of a huge apology that he owes you”
I roll my eyes inwardly. Alpha Klaus and apologies huh? They don’t belong in the same sentence.
I push the thought of him out of my mind.
“How long have I been sleeping?”
“About a day and a half. I have had a female doctor come check on you every now and then. She confirmed that all your injuries are healing perfectly. The stitches from the surgery will disappear in a day or two and so will the bruises on your neck”
My hands automatically go to my chest and neck.
“I had surgery?” I ask him in surprise.
“Yes Ella. Your condition was very critical. We almost lost you on the operating table when your heart stopped for a few minutes. But doctor Hunt was able to bring you back”
I died for a few minutes? I don’t remember anything after I passed out in my room. Wasn’t I supposed to see something on the other side when I died for a few minutes? I was disappointed. I wanted to see just a glimpse of my mother.
Something came to my mind that instant. “How did I survive the knife to my chest? I had wolfs bane in my system. I wasn’t able to heal at all”
