LOGINThe night I was told that Ollen woke up again was nearly two weeks after the last one. Heaven had once again forced me to leave the hospital and go to the main pack house."The people would love to have you for dinner..." She'd commented as she ushered me out the door.I wanted to stay behind and hold Ollen's hand. It felt like I would miss something important if I listened to Heaven and leave. Jenny had helped convincing me to go to the main pack house, and I had ended up going there and sharing dinner with a few of the warriors.My sister also made sure that I took a long shower, change into my night clothes and went to bed. She even stayed by my bed, insisting that she would be there until I fall asleep.It was an oddly sweet thing she had ever done for me, and I cherished it."I wish we were always close like this..." She'd whispered as she ran her fingers through my hair, reminding me at she was my older sister, someone that should have been at my corner growing up. I'd shot her
"Ollen... Can you hear me?" Heaven asked, and my heart jumped back into my chest when he let out a soft groan. "He's waking up." I whispered as if I was having a hard time believing it.Heaven grabbed his free hand."Squeeze my hand if you can hear me." She said.I kept my eyes on his hand and watched as he clenched his fingers as softly as he could.Heaven shot me a smile."That's good. That's very good." She declared, and all I wanted to do was cry out of relief. But I held it together and pulled Ollen's hand to my face.He didn't stay awake too long, quickly falling back to unconsciousness. I felt panic creep into my chest when his hands lost their strength and looked at Heaven."It's okay." She commented, once again shooting me her best smile. "He'll be fine. It's normal that he went to sleep again. The fact that he woke up is proof enough that he's healing. But he'll need more time to get up and speak to us like he used to."Her explanation did great to calm me down a little, bu
I rushed into the hospital. Heaven, Markus, and Seth were right they said they would be keeping Ollen company in his room.Heaven frowned the second they saw me. "Didn't I tell you to go rest? Why are you back already?" She asked, crossing her arms over her chest.I looked at Seth, choosing to ignore Heaven's question so I could get straight to the matter at hand."Jenny is in trouble." I announced, and he immideately pushed himself to his feet. "She was hiding with her friend, but she just called to tell me that our mother found her. If she catches her..."Seth didn't let me finish, probably knowing what would happen if our mother caught Jenny. She will get dragged back to the pack and probably get mated off to Alpha Brian, our biggest enemy."Where is she now?" He asked."Hiding in a coffee shop. I told her to text me the address so you can go pick her up." I replied, and Seth didn't hesitate to run out of the room."Should he be going alone?" Heaven asked.There was no one other t
"When is he going to wake up?" I asked the same question for the fourth day in a row, but Heaven didn't have the answer I wanted and needed to hear."I don't know." She whispered, looking at me apologetically.A heavy sigh escaped my lips as I sat down on the edge of the bed.Worry tangled deep in my stomach. He hasn't stirred even once in four days. Heaven had out him on IV and checks on his every single chance she gets, but nothing has changed.Maybe I'm being too selfish for wanting him to wake up right away. He deserved to have some rest."Get as much rest as you need." I whispered, gently pressing my hand against his chest and leaning down to press a kiss against his cheek."You should get some rest, too." Heaven commented, stepping closer to place her hand on my shoulder."You haven't been giving yourself time at all. Go home, take a shower, eat some food, and sleep. We'll all be here watching after him for you." She added.I glanced at her with a weak smile."I'm scared somethi
"Heaven... We need to get him to Heaven." Mini commented, her voice cutting through the thick tension in the main woods.I couldn't think about anything else other than the wolf lying motionless in front of me. My mate."Markus is with them..." I heard Seth reply. "They're heading to the hospital as we speak."Sam didn't hesitate to pick up the wolf and throw him over his shoulder, turning towards the direction of the hospital, and ran as fast as he could.Seth limped after Sam, and Mini stayed behind to help me to my feet and lead me out of the woods.The previous Luna's followed me with their whispers until we exited the woods."Did they leave?" I asked as I looked around to see if any of our enemies were still around."They left the second your whereabout was discovered. That seemed to be their only objective, making sure that the curse did its thing and Ollen killed you." Mini replied.My forearm was heavily bleeding, and I was already feeling lightheaded. Laura and Vice were alr
"Ollen..." I whispered.His growl grew louder as he stepped forward.I dared to take a step back, only to make him bark at me. "Wait... Listen to me..." I whispered."I don't know how to get you out of this." His mother whispered.I could tell she was scared for me, and that only made me feel worse."We can create a distraction for you, but the chances of you escaping himself twice are very low." She added."Ollen, listen to me." I whispered, thinking that maybe I could talk him out of the madness that had taken over him."It's me, Joy. Your Joy." I whispered, and he barked again like he couldn't care less about what I was saying. But I continued."Remember what we talked about earlier?" I asked. "We talked about what we were going to do in the future, about our plans to have another mating ceremony, one where we will truly become mates. Do you remember that?" He stopped dead in his tracks, and for a second there, I thought it was working, and it stupidly made me lower my guard down
I sat anxious on the edge of the bed facing the door, waiting for Heaven to come back with good news.Recalling the short yelling match I had with Laura, I doubt she would want to lower the barrier and allow me to leave the room. But maybe Heaven's enthusiasm might convince her otherwise.A few min
My entire body hurt. That was the only reason why I knew I was not dead yet.I forced my eyes to open, and the bright line shining into the cave made me close them again.It took me a few minutes to blink through the pain, my eyeballs burning each time I attempted to keep my eyes open for more than
I screamed like I had never before, my mouth splitting wide as I called for help. The cruel hold he had on my ankle was agonizing. I knew he could rip my foot off clean if he wanted to. But that was not what he did.He kept his bite strong on my ankle and used it to drag me down. My other foot sl
My body moved on its own accord, jerking me backward as the charging man triggered my fight or flight. I could barely understand what the heck was happening. I knew this was bound to happen, but it still managed to take me by surprise. If it wasn't for my wolf, I would have most probably stood st
