Waking up

I awoke with the feeling as if my head had been shoved through a vice. A few things were clear. 1. I was in a hospital room. It looked like I was in Alpha’s pack hospital. Thoughts of the party were hazy but 2. I was sure that Damien staked his claim, 3. my cousin is slutty psycho, and 4. my boyfriend has been cheating on me! What the hell happened?! I thought we were perfect. How could one night change so much!

The more conscious I became, the more I realized that I was not alone in the room. I looked around the room. I found Damien asleep sitting on a chair next to me. I turned my head to look at him more closely. The monitor started buzzing. His eyes snapped open. He caressed my face.

“Kayla! Thank heavens you’re finally awake!” he said in a pained voice

“Damien? What is going on? Where am I?”

“You’re in the hospital, someone attacked you during the brawl, your back and leg were broken, and you had cuts everywhere. You lost some blood. We thanked the heavens, you’re a werewolf! You may not have your wolf yet but, you did show you have quick healing abilities. The doctor said that though, you healed physically, your mind needed a rest.”

“Tiffany, I remember she attacked me” Damien growled, his eyes turned black with rage at the revelation.

“Your cousin? That fucking bitch! She’s dead!”

“Damien!” I gasped at everything he was saying.

“I am not your worry or responsibility, you’re not alpha yet.”

“You’re still mine! She is your cousin, your family! She should know better; she could have killed you!”

I nod my head and stay quiet cause I know that he is right. What she did was unforgivable. “How long have I been in here?”

“A month” he replied sounding like a tortured soul. My eyes grew wide at his statement! I missed a month of schooling! Shit!

“What about- “

“I took care of everything! No need to worry love” I relaxed my anxieties at his words.

“Why are you so good to me? You say I am yours but, what happens if you find your mate?”

“I already have everything I need right in front of me,” he said in a tender voice, with sweet touches that quieted my soul and sparked desire in me.

          “When can I go home?” He kissed me on the forehead

          “I will let the doctor know you’re awake and see what he says.” I nodded my head at his words. He gave me one more kiss before he walked out of the room.

I laid my head back and cried, wishing I had never attended that party. None of this would have happened. I would still be oblivious to Tyson’s betrayal yes but, I would not be in a hospital by the hands of my cousin possibly.

          I heard Doctor Matthews enter the room. I dried my tears before anyone could notice anything.

          “Kayla, how are you feeling?”

          “Like I got hit with a wrecking ball but otherwise good.” He nods his head at my words. “That is good to know, Damien says that you want to go home. Let me send you for another exam, make sure everything is perfect then you are free to go home.”

          “I will take her home sir”

          “Very good, sounds great now. I will send in the nurse in a few”

          Damien sat on the bed with me and held my hands as the nurse did her examination. When everything was clear, he thanked her for everything. He let me know that his mother and brothers retrieved clothes from my house. I was thankful to them for the care but, it hurt that my father did not come himself. Did he even know that I was in here? How could he and my mother not come? I wanted to cry again. Did they not love me? 

Damien held me as I could stop the tears from falling, his hand rubbed my back as he soothed me. I told him I wanted to get up and walk. He helped me stand to my feet. He let me pick out an outfit, and he laid them in the bathroom then, assisted me with walking there to get dressed. Once I was inside, I told him I was going to shower and then change. I told him I would ring a nurse for help if needed. He told me that he would head downstairs and pull the car towards the door. I was very thankful for the care he gave me. I just don’t know what the future is going to hold now. When we resume school, and hopefully I can finally get back to my old life or would he announce himself as my boyfriend? That would put me in the Elite category, and I would have to stomach Tyson every day! I was in no way a loser or outsider. I was on the cheerleading team. Damien was the Quarterback of the football team. But I was no Captain. Everyone assumed that Danika would be his girl since she is Cheer Captain and an All-Star gymnast. If he went public with his claim, everyone would expect me to level up and be in her spot. Would she be demoted as Queen B? How is she going to take it? A million thoughts ran through my brain. None of which I had the answer to..
