Chapter 7- jessica?

Alexandria POV   

As I register what’s going on I can see that Dean is losing and his movement is somewhat sloppy, they are rolling on the floor till they hit the wall near me on my left leaving me between them and the kitchen counter.

 I see the other man that I now sense is a rogue, on top of Dean who can barely fight him off. 

The rogue raises his hands with claws out aiming for Dean’s throat so I instinctively grab a kitchen knife from the counter on my right and get between the two stabbing the rogue in the heart as his clawed hand slashes my torso “ahhhh, son of a bitch” I grunt out as I lean on the wall.

 It takes more than this for me to fall; I won’t fall… so I’m just leaning now. 

In a blink I see Derek in front of me with panic on his face trying to reach for my wound but I swat him off, 

“I’m okay, it’s just a scratch don’t be over dramatic” I say through gritted teeth because it hurts to even talk but I’m not telling him that.

He needs to stay away and I need to get away. I can hear Dean apologizing to me and Derek.

Why apologize to Derek I’m the one who got slashed but whatever. “I m sorry Luna , I’m sorry alpha, he got me with wolf’s-bane that’s why I wasn’t as fast or as strong “Dean keeps repeating his apologies and explanation while he is trashing my already trashed place searching for something ... I guess first aid or something?, all while Derek remains silent and just glares daggers at him as he keeps trying to reach for my wound with one hand and support me with the other.

 “Found this “Dean comes rushing towards us with some clean cloth that I don’t know where the fuck did he find.

” I said I’m fine, you two need to get the fuck out now and leave me the hell alone, I’m sure someone called the cops by now” I say as I push off Derek trying to reach my bag But he grabs my wrist.

“Enough woman, why the fuck are you so stubborn. You are bleeding and rogues just tried to attack you, I’m not leaving without you and you need medical attention” he says getting angry now.

I look down and see that my hoodie and even my jeans are completely drenched with my blood and I’m starting to get really dizzy, it’s getting harder to breath. 

“I can’t go with him and I can’t go anywhere like this, I can’t even stand straight or on my own” I think to myself. 

I look at Dean, “Luna please, he will kill me if anything happens to you” Dean says with pleading eyes.

I really have no options here. I barley nod before I can’t feel the ground underneath me anymore. Everything starts getting darker and the floor gets nearer. “Jessica” I hear Derek yell before I feel his arms around me and my last thought is “who the fuck is Jessica ... Oh yes that’s me”   

I hear voices but it’s muffled. I can feel myself lying on a bed and it smells like some medical facility... a hospital?, oh no, i hate hospitals, the last time i was in one i lost my baby, i have to get up,I try to open my eyes but I’m too tired.

The voices become clearer now as I recognize Dean’s and Derek’s voices arguing.

“I’m not getting out of here before she wakes up Derek” 

 “I’m not telling you to get out because I’m mad at you, I’m simply saying you need to head to your room and rest or tend to your… scratches? Or whatever”; head to his room? We must be at their pack!  

“Come on Derek, how many times I have to apologize?”

“You want an answer? Fine. When you can convince me how a rogue can get the upper hand on you beta Dean, son of an alpha, top warrior of the strongest pack of the region?” Okay he is just being a dick now.

The dude explained a 1000 times before I fainted and I’m sure he explained a 1000 more since, that the damn rogue stabbed him with wolf’s-bane syringe while they were crashing through my window.

“Stop being an asshole” it came out of me hoarse and strained. “Jessica! You’re up” Derek said happily as he came to my bed side “argh! I hate that name”. 

“Then what do you like me to call you?” he asked and I stupidly answer

 “By my name duh”

 “But I thought that was you’re name” wait! Did I just say all of that out loud? FUCKING anesthesia didn’t wear off completely I assume.

 “She is just full of surprises this one” Dean commenting in the back and getting a growl from Derek in response 

“What’s your real name mysterious mate?” Derek asked.

 “Why won’t you lay off poor Kenny? He was drugged with wolf’s bane and it was my choice to help him. It’s not like he is the one who hurt me?” I say attempting to divert the subject.

 “He shouldn’t be easily drugged in the first place and as a result he got his Luna hurt” Derek retorted

 “Am I suppose to be Kenny here??” Dean asked.

 “Yes, as in ken doll” I answered to a now scowling Dean. 

“Derek you are not really mad at your brother. You are just diverting your guilt coz you think that you didn’t get to me on time, but you are forgetting that I m the one who chose to get between them, you couldn’t of predicted that.” I say looking straight into Derek blue eyes ... oh do I love those eyes.

 “Okay, I officially love her” says Dean grinning.

 “Get out Kenny, Now.” Derek yells at him. 

“What the fuck? Is this going to be my nickname now?” Dean asked annoyed and got yet another growl from Derek.

 “Okay okay I’m leaving but don’t forget to ask her what’s her real name is” that asshole!

“That’s pay back for the Kenny shit that apparently is going to stick” Dean says with a smirk. 

“Now I regret saving your life” I say glaring at his back as he gets out of the room waving his hand goodbye saying “no, you don’t”.

I look back at Derek who is raising one eyebrow waiting for me to answer, I guess I got nothing to lose, my plans are already fucked and I do miss my name, No one will recognize or expect me to be here anyways. 

“Alexandria ... My name is Alexandria”. “That’s a beautiful name, much more fitting ... Strong and beautiful just like you” he says with a genuine smile and I blush, he seems to be the only one who can make me blush ... Luke used to make me blush too.

 My expression changes as guilt consume me. 

“I’m tired ... I think I’ll just sleep now” I tell Derek. 

“Is something wrong? Did I say something wrong?” Derek says confused and a little hurt.

 “No, I’m just sleepy. I guess the anesthesia still didn’t wear off” I say sliding into bed.

“okay, I’ll let you rest but I’ll be nearby if you need anything” he says with a small smile and I just nod and close my eyes and let myself drift to all the memories I shared with Luke and how I was easily betraying him.
