The Alpha's Companion Chapter 76: Settling In
A few minutes later, there was a knock on their bedroom door. Julien opened it and Dr. Silva was standing there. "Well? What did the test say?" The doctor sat in the chair next to the bed, looking more like a kind friend than a doctor.Lacey forced a smile. "I'm not pregnant." Then she bit her lower lip and released it. "So, do you think I have appendicitis?""I think you really need to rest." Dr. Silva sighed, his eyebrows pulling together in concern. "But I'll tell you what. Right now, you don't have a fever and you're not vomiting, so let's get an IV in you and see if the fluids will help. Then if you're not better by morning, we'll take you to the hospital for a possible appendectomy."Julien looked at her and raised his eyebrows, silently asking her permission.Lacey nodded. "Yes, that's fine."It was time that she started being brave. She had learned a long time ago that she needed to be the one to save herself. But now she had Julien. And whether he was with her or not, she had
The Alpha's Companion Chapter 77: Night Terrors
"Eeekkk!!!" Lacey screamed in the middle of the night. She had been dreaming that Thorn had given her over to Rex, and he had taken her away from Julien. But then Rex grabbed her hard and pulled her to him. "Uuuuggghhh!" Lacey screamed as the strong arms held her tightly, pulling her to his chest. "No! Let me go!""Ssshh.... Lacey... it's me, Julien," he cooed, pulling her to him, brushing her hair from her eyes. "You're going to pull out your IV!"She thrashed about as he held her rms still, tried to calm her, not realizing it was Julien. "Eeehhh!""Lacey! Wake up! You're dreaming!" Julien shook her shoulders hard, trying to wake her. "Lacey! It's me! Julien!"Then she looked into his eyes, as if seeing him for the first time. "Oh, Julien! I'm so sorry! I was just dreaming—" She looked at the IV. Even though it had come untapped, it was still secure in her arm. She quickly smoothed her hand over the tape and the memory of what had happened over the last few days flooded her mind."Sss
The Alpha's Companion Chapter 78: Emergency
Lacey tried to sleep but couldn't get comfortable. Her lower right side was hurting most of the night. But one good thing was that she was finally feeling more like herself. She was no longer afraid to go to sleep, afraid that someone may come to the door and drag her away. Whatever Dr. Silva put into her IV to counteract and remove the drugs from her system must have been working.After a while, Lacey finally fell asleep.Lacey walked into a clearing that she didn't recognize, and Scar, Brock, and Rex were there. Rex looked across the field and smirked. "You're coming with me.""No, I'm not! Get away from me!" She tried to morph into her wolf, but nothing happened. Panic set in, and when she turned to run, she ran right into Thorn, laughing. "Oh, yes. You do." A broad grin spread across Thorn's face. "I'll teach you for being born! Your mother should have never had the affair and should have never had you! Now I'm giving you to Rex.""No!" Lacey yelled, backing away as Thorn advanc

"Julien?" Lacey asked, waking up in the hospital, feeling disoriented. When she opened her eyes, the light was much too bright. "Where am I?""You're in the hospital, Lacey," Julien said, holding her hand. Then everything started coming back to her... the pain... and then Julien carrying her to the ambulance... "Did they do the surgery?"Julien nodded, smiling. "Dr. Silva did the surgery and it went very well. Come to find out, your appendix ruptured in his hands as soon as he took it out." He sighed, shaking the memories from his head. "We got you here just in time."She nodded, giving him a weak smile. "Good. At least we know what it was."Julien raised her hand to his lips, and then looked up, his eyes pleading. "Lacey, I'm so sorry I waited so long to bring you here. They gave you some pain medication so it should help." Then Julien leaned in conspiratorially. "Dr. Silva said that you should be able to come home in a few days, but you'll need to wait until next week to go back to
The Alpha's Companion Chapter 80: Payback
Lacey's eyes flew open and she was staring into Scar's. Lacey tried to scream, but Scar held a knife to her throat. "Scream, and I'll kill you and Julien, too," Scar said. Rage filled Lacey's chest as she quickly assessed her surroundings. There was a huge picture window close by, and the IV was still in her arm, but Lacey could easily pull it out. She glanced over at the small sofa in the corner and Julien was gone. He had probably stepped out to get something to eat. But that was okay. Lacey smiled. She wanted Scar to herself.It was payback time.Lacey nodded once and Scar removed her hand, but still held the knife to her throat. "I thought it was time we had a little chat... woman to woman.""Too bad you aren't one." Keeping as still as she could so as not to attract Scar's notice, Lacey started pulling the IV from her hand. Once she was free, Scarlett was hers. The longer she could keep Scarlett talking so she could work it out of her arm, the better. "You're not a good woman, a
The Alpha's Companion Chapter 81: Considerations
A security guard came in along with the nurse, who looked back and forth between them, not quite sure what to do. Lacey assumed that she was still in shock from nearly witnessing a murder."The police are on their way," said the security guard. Then he looked down at the blood pooling through Lacey's hospital gown. "I think you'd better get that looked at, ma'am.""Yes, yes!" The nurse finally came to her senses and led Lacey back to the bed. Then she turned to the guard. "Leave us, please."The guard nodded, concern coloring his face. "I'll be right outside.""My husband will be back in a moment if you'd like to talk to him," Lacey offered, laying back down on the bed.He tipped his hat. "Yes, ma'am." He gave her one last concerned look and then walked out, closing the door behind him. "Could you stitch me back up?" Lacey asked the nurse. "Then I have to go home. I no longer feel safe here."A crease formed between the nurse's eyes. The nametag on her uniform read SAMANTHA. "I'm afra
The Alpha's Companion Chapter 82: Deception
"Okay, Mrs. Grey, you're cleared to go home." Later that day, Samantha looked at her as if she were crazy for leaving... and that the doctor was crazy for letting her go.Lacey gave her a reassuring smile, sitting on the edge of the bed. "Thank you.""Here are your release papers." Samantha shoved a clipboard in front of her. "Please sign here... and here...." She pointed to different places on the paper. When Lacey was finished, Samantha tore off the bottom copy and handed it to her. Then she tilted her head to the side. "When you get home, make sure you rest. You don't want to open up your staples back up again."Lacey nodded, taken aback by her kindness. "Thank you."Samantha nodded as her lips curled into a smile. "A volunteer will be here to escort you out momentarily."And as if right on cue, a girl came in pushing a wheelchair. "Here you are!" she said, a bit too chipper, the kind of voice one uses with puppies or small children. "Are you ready to go home?""My name is Mrs. Grey
The Alpha's Companion Chapter 83: Julien and Rex
Once they got home, Julien carried Lacey up the stairs and to their suite. She wasn't used to this royal treatment, but she was glad of it now. Although shifters heal quickly, she had just had surgery and wasn't able to walk all the way up the necessary five flights of stairs without tearing her staples. But she would be just fine in a few days."Maybe we should install an elevator," Lacey teased. But then again, she thought about Madame Pomeroy and thought it may be a good idea to have an elevator for visitors, although the woman could easily walk up and down the stairs more than she let on.Julien grinned, raising an eyebrow. "What? And rob me of the chance to carry you? I think not."Lacey laughed. "You can still carry me when you like. I'd never object to that.""Good." Julien grinned. "Because I plan to be doing it for a long time to come.""You're spoiling me." Although she wasn't about to object. "That's the whole idea."Lacey couldn't help but think of how far they had come si
