Thank you for your continued support for Healing Powers. I will be travelling for work this week so hope to post a chapter day. If I can't, I will let you know. Be sure to leave a comment or review. Next chapter update is tomorrow. Ellie xo
Jenna POV Looking at my identification badge, I realize Adam is aware that my fake shopping trips and being self-centred may not entirely be accurate. I was shocked he had my name badge at first but then I realized of course he would have come across it when he was looking for my phone. I pick up my phone and put a call into my parents. Not reaching them I leave a message for them to call me back. However, as I leave the message, I realize what I have to do. I need to come clean. If rogues are attacking the Red Pine Pack because of me, then Adam needs to know why and how to counter the attacks. I sit for a while by myself focusing on my healing. I feel more in control now, realizing that the infection was quite serious as I couldn’t heal it myself. It reminds me of my limitations, which takes me back to Jessica and my limitations in helping her. Yes, we found out what was wrong; unfortunately, it was not soon enough to save her.
Jenna POV “For now, we do our best to keep it a secret from the rest of the Pack. I only know one warrior who is aware, and I have Alpha commanded them to not share the information with anyone else,” Adam says. “Who knew?” Sam asks. Adam looks a little uncomfortable, “Wendy was there the night the warrior was attacked. The rogues told them about the healer being a red head,” he says. Feeling a wave of uneasiness roll over me, I consider what Adam is saying. Wendy, of all people, is aware of what I am. Whether she can speak to it or not, is irrelevant. She knows something of danger to me and the Pack. “We will need to keep a close eye on her,” Sam says looking equally uncomfortable. Jack nods, “It is no secret she does not like Jenna,” he adds. We all knew the implications of Wendy being aware of anything that relates to me. Adam looks uncomfortable but I do not feel any sympathy for him. This just brings my anger back around everything that had happened. If he had not b
Adam POV Just as we were making some progress with Jenna she shut down. Her emotions were all over the place. I wanted to take her in my arms and help her, but she did not want that. I had to appreciate that she was struggling with the loss of the human child. I did not understand it, but I wanted to be supportive for her. I was pissed to see Wendy hovering around the door. I did not know what she had heard, but her presence was not welcoming. Grabbing her by her arm, I tossed her in my office startling both Sam and Jack. Disgust rolled over both their faces. I had not realized how much they had disliked Wendy until Jenna came to the Pack. I am realizing now how blind I was to things happening around me. “What were you doing out there Wendy?” I asked her. “Nothing, I had just grabbed lunch at the dining hall, and was looking for Jack to get my assignment for the coming week,” she says looking at Jack. Jack looks at her with confusion.
Adam POV My heart sank. What had started as a good day with Jenna starting to trust us and open up to us had turned to a shit storm. Clearing my throat, “What do you mean doctor?” I ask optimistically. My stomach churns waiting for his reply. “We were able to remove most of the excess blood from her brain. She does have one small spot which is still bleeding. It is a slow bleed, so I am going to monitor it and hope it clears on its own,” he says. Okay that doesn’t sound so bad; what’s the catch? “There could be some short-term memory loss when she wakes up,” he continues. “Well, we will have to wait and see,” I interject. Nodding his yes, “The concern for me is that while we were operating, she slipped into a coma,” Doctor Rivers states. What did that mean? People went into comas all the time, particularly wolves when they had to focus on healing themselves. It was like the doctor could read my mind, “Unlike when we put them into an indu
Adam POV It has been three days since the attack. Jenna had not yet awoken. Her parents had arrived within hours of me calling them. They had stayed by her bedside, except for eating and sleeping. I was with Jenna most of the time. I did grab a shower and change of clothes, provided her parents were with her. Her parents spent most of their time talking to her, reminding her of things that happened when she was growing up. Some of the stories were funny, sharing tidbits about her with me. Tidbits that I cherished learning. As much as Jenna wore a persona of being a spoiled woman, she was anything but. From a young age she had always put others first and her parents’ stories proved that. At one point, we thought she was waking up. Her eyes were fluttering and looked like she was trying to open them. But she did not, and we were left with that lost feeling once again. Her father had to return to the Pack. Duty called and he was frustr
Adam POV “Who are you?” Jenna asks. I am confused and stare at her. Is she serious or is she messing with me? Her mother looks at me and then at her daughter. I mind-link the doctor to get here immediately. Luna Ashley takes Jenna’s hand, “How do you feel sweetheart?” she asks Jenna. “I have a headache and I am thirsty, but I think I am okay,” she replies to her mother while watching me cautiously. My heart is breaking at the thought that she doesn’t know who I am. I step forward and take her hand. I still feel the sparks there and from the look on her face, she feels those same sparks. “You have been visiting me. Why?” she asks. I am quickly realizing she is remembering pieces of her past but not all. Doctor Rivers rushes in moving Jenna’s mother out of the way so he can check Jenna over. He does a thorough exam asking Jenna various questions to test her memory. I see a look of concern cross his face as he wonders about her rememberi
Jenna POV I had awoken to a stranger beside my bed. I did not know who he was or what he wanted. I knew when he touched me, I felt sparks, but what did that mean? I knew I had a head injury, from the doctor who came in and spoke to me. I didn’t understand how it had happened and I understood why the doctor wasn’t wanting to tell me too much of what I had experienced. It would go against protocol for any type of head injury with a short-term memory loss. He was accurate in what he was telling me. Something about the guy confused me. I realized I had not even got his name from him. As he walks out of my room, I look to my parents, “I want to go home,” I say to them. They both look at me sadly. “That would not be right baby girl,” my mother replies to me. “What do you mean?” I ask her confused. Why wouldn’t they take me home? “Jenna, your place is here with your mate,” my father says. “I don’t know him. He is a complete stranger to me.
Adam POV “Why haven’t you marked me yet?” Jenna asks me. Talk about tough questions right out of the gate. I knew it was a reasonable question. Most Alphas were very possessive and marked their mate within days, if not within hours, of meeting their fated mate. In my case, I was an ass who fucked everything up and was left now trying to explain that without divulging too much information that might cause more damage. “We were not ready yet,” I reply to Jenna as she stares at me. “Not to sound like a two-year-old, but why were we not ready?” she asks. “Jenna, you know I cannot share much about what you don’t remember. It will suffice to say I made some mistakes early in our relationship and I am trying to make amends for them now,” I reply to her. She simply looks at me for moments. Staring. And then finally looks away. “Well, if you will not tell me, I guess you get a clean slate … until I remember,” she says with conviction. Nodding my
