Chapter six

AURORA'S POV

Waking up, I was so sore everything seemed to be hurting. I try to open my eyes but my right one doesn't seem to want to follow the left one and remains closed. I try to sit up but then some hands hold me down, I look and there is Dax seeing him makes a tear spill from my eyes. What would he think of such a weak mate?

"Do not cry Aurora, you will be fine, you will fully heal within the next day or so, but at the minute you have a few broken ribs and leg so try not to move too much. Do you remeber what happened or who/ what did this to you?" I don't want to answer him just yet so I just shake my head. 

Tilly is talking to me now, 

"Tell him, tell our mate he will help." 

"I don't know it was his ex that did this to us."

"Yes but he is our mate now not hers." I wish I could share her optimism. 

"I don't want him to think he has made the wrong decision in choosing us over her." That made her quiet. 

Dax must still have been talking to me, but I wasn't paying any attention thanks to Tilly. 

"Hello Aurora are you listening to me?" 

"Umm, no not really but I was talking to Tilly."

"So that is the name of your wolf, Edon my wolf was wanting to know."

I could feel that Tilly was happy that Edon was wanting to know about her.

"See, they are our mate they want us."

I roll my eyes at her, that seemed to make Dax smile, even though he doesn't know that Tilly spoke to me, he just knew what was happening. 

"The pack doctor will be in here in a little while, so why don't you relax for now and get some sleep." 

I don't know why but when I thought about going to sleep, it seemed to make me feel vulnerable and I didn't want to go to sleep. Dax must have sensed that I was panicking about falling back asleep.

"If it is ok with you I will stay in this seat until the doctor comes back in?"

I feel so relieved but then didn't want him to think I was dependant on him and that I couldn't handle myself so even though everything in me wants him to stay with me I say

"No, I'm good, I am sure that you have a few things that need to be done that are more important than sitting in that chair."

His face seemed to drop a little bit after I had said that. 

"I will leave if that is what you want, but let me make this clear to you there is nothing more important to me or Edon than you and Tilly, you are our mate. So I will ask you again do you want me to go or stay." 

"OK, but it is OK you can go, I will be fine."  

He comes over to the bed and gives me a kiss on the forhaed, telling me that he will be back in a little while to check on me and then he leaves. 

I lay there on the bed and after a few minutes the thoughts of last night started coming back to me. 

Shanaya's fist coming towards me and the pain I felt in my face as I heard the crunch. I fall to the floor and I feel the pain shoot through my ribs. I turn over so I am face up just in time to see her foot coming towards my face, I felt pain for a few seconds before I feel nothing any more. 

I start shaking and the next thing I know, Dax comes running into the room again. 

"Your OK Aurora." He came and sat next to me and held me rocking me back and forth.

"How did you know?" I asked

"I heard you screaming, I never left I have been sat outside your room just incase you needed me." That was so sweet, but I couldn't feel it fully as I was still shaking from the flashback. 

"Are you ready now to tell me what happened?" 

"No not quite." Once I had calmed down enough to be able to speak properly. He nods at me and says 

"Whenever you are ready I am here." I nod back to him. I hate feeling weak I don't get why I am. I just wish I could have kicked her arse instead of been stuck in a hospital bed with fear radiating through me. 

The pack doctor comes in not much longer after my little freak out. 

"Right Aurora, as long as you take it easy for the next day or so you are able to leave no poin tkeeping you here when you will be fully healed soon enough."

"Thank you." I repy to him. 

I climb off the bed once he has left the room and start taking the gown off, then I remember that Dax is still in here with me. 

"Umm could you turn around please." He smiles at that and slowly turns around. 

I get dressed back into the same clothes I had on last night. Even though it is covered in my blood it is still better to walk through pack land with this on than the gown. As soon as I am out of the building Lisa and Benji come running to me. 

"Are you ok? what happened?" Lisa rambled at me.

"I am ok, I had a little altercation that is all." Benji puts his arm around me and we hear a growl from behind us. Dax does not like the fact that a male has his arm around me, but he will have to get used to it Benji has been my friend for a lot of years that is not going to hange just because I have a mate.

"Let's get you home." Lisa says and all three of them take me home.
