“I will find you!”
“We each need a goal in life” He said and hung up.
I growled and gripped the phone “Did you get through to my father?”
“Yes, he said, he’d contact the King”
“Good” I rubbed my face “Bring him, we’re going home”
MADELYN’S POV
My head was stinging when I slowly woke up from a strange dream about a fairy chasing me through the woods, because I stole her candy.
Where am I? Am I in the hospital? I cleared my throat and looked up at Jax beside me, who was snoring softly with his arm over his face, and I smiled to myself. He was always talking about Koda snoring, but he did too.
I slowly sat up, and realized I was in a hospital gown, blushing red. I hoped Jax was the one who’d changed my clothing.
Jax moaned, and rolled over, placing his arm over my lap, and snuggled closer to me, as my memories came back.
I was trying to stop Cole, when he accidentally cut me. I reached up and touched my cheek, and it stung a little.
I needed to see my face, so I used my powers to push Jax away, and slipped out of bed, before passing him my pillow to cuddle, and then went in the bathroom, and walked over to the sink and mirror.
I placed the bandage on the skin, before taking a breath, and looking up into the mirror. The first thing I noticed was my bird’s nest of a hair, and I blushed a little, thinking of Jax seeing me like that, but then I saw my cheek.
I turned my head, and examined the damage. My skin felt a little tight, and there was a large cut, stitched together. I couldn’t believe this. I’d never had silver wounds heal so well. Did the Lycan’s have some kind of ointment that the werewolves didn’t know about? Or did silver injuries always heal perfectly if you got treated at the hospital? I’d never gone to the hospital after Alpha Troy hurt me, he’d never have allowed it, even if I’d tried.
I felt tears fill my eyes, as I took everything in. Would this continue to heal? Or would I have a large scar? Would Jax and Koda think I’m hideous now? Would they still want me?
I felt myself having a panic attack, so I quickly locked the bathroom door, and sat down on my knees while I cried and tried to steady my breath.
“Sweetheart?” Jaxson knocked on the bathroom door urgently. A few minutes later “Please, open the door, why is it locked?”
He knocked again, this time frantically, so I stood up, wiped my cheeks and went to get the door before he broke it down. The second the lock clicked, Jaxson pushed the door open, and I was forced to jump back.
“Sorry” He said quickly, and pulled me into his arms “Why did you lock the door? You scared me. Why are you out of bed?”
“I had to use the toilet” I blushed, as he pushed me out at arm’s length.
“How are you feeling?” He asked “Are you in pain? Do you want to take a shower? I have clothing for you, I had Molly bring some over for you. Why is your bandage off? You have to”
“Jax, for goddess’s sake” I placed my hand over his mouth “Take a breath, yes, I would love a shower, I smell awful, and yes, my face hurts a little, now please go, I really do need the toilet”
“So, just pee” He said, as if I was being crazy “You’re not leaving my side”
“No” I placed my hands on his chest, and tried to shove him out the door, but he didn’t move an inch, stupid strong Alpha “Please Jax, go, I can’t pee in front of you”
“Really?” He rolled his eyes.
“Yes, really, go”
“Ok fine” He exhaled “But leave the door unlocked”
He gave me a total of three minutes before coming back into the bathroom, holding a small cup of water and a pill.
“Here” He offered me the pill “It’s a painkiller”
“Thank you” I quickly took it, and placed the cup into the bin.
“Come here” The concern in his voice was thick, as I walked over to him, and he gently took my face, and looked at my cheek “It looks better”
I didn’t respond, and just nodded, as he picked up the bandage and carefully put it back in place “Keep this one during the shower, I’ll have the doctor put a new one on you after we get out”
“Okay”
Jax showered with me, making me sit on a seat, while he helped me wash off the dried blood from my skin, but I started to feel exhausted again, and leaned against his shoulder. I don’t remember falling asleep, but I woke up around 9am with a light shining in my eyes.
“Alpha, she’s waking up” I heard Molly’s voice.
I blinked a few times, and saw Jax come rushing back into the room, and my heart started to race, as it always did when my mates were around.
“How are you feeling sweetheart?” He sat down on the bed and took my hands, and kissed them “Are you in pain?”
“No” I shook my head “I want to be alone” I linked him.
“Molly, you’re dismissed”
“Yes, sir, feel better Luna” She smiled at me “If there’s anything else you need, please let me know”
She bowed, and left, and curled up on the bed, so Jax laid back down, and held me “I let Koda know you were awake” He told me “He said to give you a kiss”
I looked up at him in frustration, but he kissed me and pulled back before I could say anything “Why would you tell him, I’m in the hospital” I scolded him “He’ll be distracted now”
“I had to tell him, sweetheart” I said, as he pressed his forehead against mine “You’re his too, he needed to know”
“Okay” I said “I want to go home”
“The doctor is coming back soon, and if he says the silver’s out of your blood, then I’ll let you go home”
There was a knock on the door, and Jax frowned, before climbing out of bed, and opening the door “Yes?”
“I was asked to send these to the Luna”
“Thank you” Jax said, as he came back in holding a huge bouquet of flowers, and I slowly sat up.
“Who are they from?”
Jax placed the flower beside me and I took the card “Oh, they’re from my cousin” I told Jax “He wants to come see me, before he and all the other Alpha’s leave the city”
I noticed Jax clench his jaw, as he glared at the flowers.
“Why are you so upset about my cousin wanting to get to know me?”
Jax looked at me, and crossed his arms “I don’t know or trust him” He told me “He also has sh*t taste in flowers”
I laughed, and rolled my eyes “They’re lovely” I told him “And we can’t get to know him or trust him, if you and Koda never let me near him”
“Fine” He gave in “We can invite him to dinner before he leaves, now please, just rest, you’re healing”
