BLAIRI woke up to the sound of a heart monitor. The steady beep was the one thing I could hear for the longest moment. Then slowly, as I started to wake up more, I took notice of other things. Like the strong smell of disinfectant, and the stench you would usually relate to a hospital.Antibiotics, mostly.Then the rushed footsteps, yelling of words and wails. You would always hear crying in a hospital. I’m reminded of why I hated the place in seconds.I didn’t need anyone to tell me I was in a hospital bed. I opened my eyes and took note of the blood hooked to my arm. I was exhausted. So much that keeping my eyes open felt like a chore.So I didn’t even try, I closed it and hoped I would go back to sleep. And the next time I wake up, I’ll be anywhere but here.Just as I closed my eyes, memories of what happened and how I ended up here started floating in my head.Lucian. Werewolf. blood. ambulance. White. Then black.My eyes snapped open with a start and I looked around the room fra
LUCIANI reckon, there are many terrible, unplanned things that can happen to you as a werewolf disguised as a human in the normal world.You would think explaining to the woman carrying your child, she isn’t having a human baby, is the worst thing that can happen to you in a day. Then you haven’t met my luck.I was torn up on a surgeon's desk, when my body had the great idea to wake up from its slumber. And the worst thing about waking up while your body is torn open, isn’t just the mess it would make. That is the easiest part, if you ask me.But my wolf took over and attacked the doctor. That doesn’t seem like something I could explain to anyone. If I’d just woken up but stayed still on the table, then it would be normal. Even humans have woken up sometimes during surgery.I’m damn sure no one has hit their doctor with precise accuracy and speed. The intent to do damage is more than clear. I wouldn’t have blamed the man if he shoved me out of his operating room and closed the door.
BLAIR“I just confirmed that your husband is fine ma’am.” The first nurse said, smiling slightly, hoping it would reassure me.I was skeptical about her, after she lied to me earlier. Forgive me if I’m not all too willing to trust her word again.“He is coming to see you now,” my forehead creased, my heart thudding my chest at her words.He is coming.“But how?” I whispered.I’m not even sure she heard me. But that doesn’t matter, because just then, the door is pushed open and Lucian strolled in. Wearing the hospital gown and looking too good in it too.The sight of him makes the breath hitch in my throat. I could do nothing but watch him as he came to my side. He stood by the head of the bed and leaned down. I didn’t know what I was expecting him to do, but I waited with baited breath as he leaned down. His face was so close to mine, I closed my eyes, waiting for his lips to touch mine. I Welcome it.My insides tingle at the thought of that.Lucian doesn’t do that, instead, he kisses
LUCIANBlair seems more accepting of my werewolf status now. Or maybe she was just sick, and not really thinking straight. Whatever the reason might be, I was glad she was giving me the time of day.I couldn’t let go of her hand. I didn’t want to. Holding her close was like a balm to my chest. I forgot everything that had been bothering me while I was on my way to her room.Forget what Owen said. Forget the random werewolf doctor or the fact that something is obviously wrong with me. She was looking at me with that softness I’ve been seeing recently and nothing could beat that.“So, you heal fast?” She asks, still sounding confused. “Like, if I cut your skin right now, it’ll close up instantly?”The curiosity in her voice made me smile. She sounded like a child seeing something for the first time and wanting to know everything about it.“Not instantly. Actually, it depends on the kind of damage you do.” She nods thoughtfully.“But when you passed out, what happened?” I thought over th
BLAIRI asked myself, how is it that I brought Lucian to the hospital in an ambulance. Scared as shit he wouldn’t open his eyes again. And now I’m the one in the hospital bed and he is taking care of me?Life isn’t fair alright. And it is especially unfair with him being a werewolf.I haven’t fully forgiven him for lying to me. Or more of lying by omission. But I guess I’m coming to terms with him being a werewolf.Now that I am aware of it, I’ve noticed things I should have before. He gets sensitive around loud noises. Sometimes flinching when he hears a loud sound out of the blue. Not even necessarily a loud sound. Just a pitch above normal.Also, he knew when people were coming before they were even close. I asked him how that was. We’d been busy, making out like horny teenagers last night when he suddenly moved back. I wanted to argue because well, hormones and my body was starting to get heated.“What’s wrong?” I asked, looking around him to check if something was out of place. H
BLAIRI got discharged on the fourth day. Lucian, who I’m discovering, not only has a very sweet side, but is also thoughtful. Got me flowers.And yes, that is something very little. But like I said, thoughtful.I don’t remember telling him my favorite flowers and he still got them. The bed was littered with roses when we got back too. And when I turned to him, seeing the obvious sweet thing he did. He kept a blank face and tried to act like a boss.Well, he cracked mere seconds later when my top came off. And yes, people shouldn’t talk about showing gratitude through sex. He clearly loves it.I woke up to breakfast in bed the next morning.Lucian was sitting at the edge of the bed with a laptop on his thigh. I rolled my eyes and sat up and took the laptop from him.“Babe—“ he started, reaching out for his laptop. Before he finished, I picked up a pillow and placed it on his thigh before putting the laptop over the pillow. “Oh, thank you.”He said in a soft voice. His tone changed ins
LUCIANI almost told Blair I loved her. And well, I didn’t exactly have the will to stop myself. The only reason I didn’t go through with it is because I was waiting for the right time.I was completely, entirely, madly in love with her. She is the woman of my dreams. The woman I wanted to have a family with. Lead my pack with. And die next to.Nothing has ever made sense in life until she walked into it. And it has been nothing but rainbows since then. Even on days when it wasn’t easy. The thoughts of the rainbow appearing after the storm had passed kept me going.I wanted to make her as happy as she made me. And though I didn’t think I could do that to the level she deserved. I’ll spend every day of the rest of my life doing the best I can to be the man she deserves.I’d told her father the day I called and asked about this trip. I was already married to her and it may seem that I didn’t need his permission. But he was her dad, and his approval meant. A lot to me.I promised to take
BLAIRThe air was chilly and the sky was dark when next I woke up. The first thing I noticed was, Lucian wasn’t beside me.How long have I been sleeping? Wasn’t it after breakfast I fell asleep? And how the hell am I still so damn exhausted?I got up from the bed with great effort. Every move I made felt like I was lifting a load of blocks. I managed to get up without it taking hours. My stomach felt heavy, which again wasn’t surprising.Man. Pregnancy really wasn’t easy. And mine had to be with a werewolf baby. I’m guessing nothing about this is normal. My feet were swollen. No surprise there, literally none at all.I first had to use the bathroom, another non-shocking thing. Then I drank the rest of the water Lucian always kept in the pitcher beside the bed. Now, feeling slightly better after the small stretch. I walked out of the room and headed to the living area, expecting to find Lucian.The house was empty. The second search I did, because I didn’t believe the first, confirmed
