Confusion

Rosaline's POV

I slowly woke up, groaning and whimpering in pain. What the hell happened, where am I? What am I laying on? I think to myself. Feeling myself on something soft and very comfy. I jolted up, opening my eyes quickly scanning the room quickly breathing heavily. Until I turned and locked eyes with him, I suddenly felt calm. His deep blue eyes staring at me looking worried.

"Arlo, Jason" he yelled slightly, causing me to flinch and whimper.

I watched the door slowly open and standing there were two men both gorgeous, one with tan skin, emerald, green eyes and blonde hair. the other fair skin with black hair and brown eyes. These two may be gorgeous but they don't compare to the man right in front of me. His sapphire eyes locked in with my eyes, his dark hair, the sharp jawline, the muscles... goddess I don't even know how to explain it.

"Get Artemis, she's awake" he said to them both.

"Yes sir" they responded in unison and left.

Pulling the blanket higher on me. I looked away from his gaze. "Where am I?" i stuttered terrified what he might do.

"Don't worry Little one" he said as he touched my hand sending sparks up arm. He smiled softly at me "No one is going to hurt you; you are safe from Riftan. This is the infirmary, you nearly died on us." I watched the smile disappear.

"S-So did you end up buying me to get me away from him?" i said softly looking down

"Little one no," he said shocked

"T-then how did i get away, all I remember was getting whipped and then you appeared and then everything went black.'' I say softly looking down I see my whole torso is covered in gauze and bandages. tears run down my face, the tears burning my gash on my cheek. Next thing I know he reaches up and cups the side of my face and wipes away my tears. I flinch.

"Little one do you know who I am?" He asks me as he lifts my head up for me to look at him.

"M-My Mate..." I say softly, looking at him shyly.

"Yes, we are mates, but that's not what I meant." he says with a smirk. " I am Alpha King Xavier Pierce." he says slowly.

I flinched away from him "I-I'm so sorry Alpha, p-please I'll do whatever you want." I said with a pleading voice, tears streaming down my face.

Oh, goddess the Alpha king, He's going to kill me, mate or not. I started hyperventilating.

Xaviers POV

I watched her caution, wondering how she would respond. I watched her pull the blanket up higher on herself before she spoke softly.

"W-Where am I?" she stuttered

"Don't worry Little one" I said as I touched her hand feeling sparks go up my arm. I smiled softly at her "No one is going to hurt you; you are safe from Riftan. This is the infirmary, you nearly died on us." I said as my smile faded, and I looked at her sadly

"S-So did you end up buying me to get me away from him?" she said softly looking down

"Little one no," I said shockingly. So, it was true he was going to sell her. He's a dead man.

"T-then how did I get away; all I remember was getting whipped and then you appeared and then everything went black." she said ever so softly as she looked down. tears then started running down her face. she whimpered in pain as the tears would roll over the gash on her face. Hesitantly I reach my hand up and cupping the side of her face. Afraid she'd break by my touch. I wiped away her tears as the came strolling down her face

"Little one, do you know who I am?" I ask her cautiously, as I lift her head up for her to meet my gaze.

"M-My Mate." she says ever so softly

"Yes, we are mates, but that's not what I meant." I say and couldn't help but smirk when she recognizes I'm her mate. "Little one I'm Alpha King Xavier Pierce." I said looking into her two different colored eyes. They were absolutely stunning. Then I heard her gasp and flinch away from, she was shaking.

"I-I'm so sorry Alpha, p-please I'll do whatever you want." she said horrified and then she began to hyperventilate.

I grab her hand quickly and put it to the side of my face. "Little one, I promise you I'm not going to hurt nor am I going to make you do anything you don't want to. Understand that you are my mate. I could never hurt you. Now please calm down." I say to her softly watching her expression soften and her breathing goes back to normal. "Good girl."

"Little one, could you tell me your name please." I say as I lean into her hand, that hasn't left the side of my face yet. I heard a small gasp escape her lips as my question surprised her.

She looks at me shyly "M-My name is Rosaline." I noticed the fear in her eyes.

"Rosaline." I say as I smile at her. "a beautiful name for an even more beautiful girl." I watch her blush slightly.

Then there was a knock at the door. "Come in" I say, nodding at her that everything would be okay.

Artemis walks in looking at us both. "Thank goddess you're a wake." he sighs with relief "how are you feeling Luna" he says and i feel Rosaline tighten in fear.

"Artemis please refrain from calling her Luna please for now, call her Rosaline." I say squeezing her hand as i feel her relax

"Oh, I'm sorry it was very inconsiderate of me." he says, and she shakes her head.

"I-It's alright sir." She said softly.

Artemis walks over to us and undoes the IV in her arm, and she flinches violently. "Miss Rosaline, I know this may be uncomfortable, but I need to undo the gauze that is around your chest to make sure the bleeding has stopped." Artemis says and walks over to her.

I feel her staring at me, I meet her gaze, she was afraid. "Little one I'll stay right here so you can hold my hand. If it makes it any better, I'll turn my head away. if that's what you would like." I said to her, she nodded slightly.

I turn my head and close my eyes feeling her hand touch mine, I hold her small hand.

"Alright Miss Rosaline," Artemis says. "I'm going to untie the bandage if you would like to look away you may." He says kindly towards her.

Rosaline's Pov:

I look away, staring at Xavier since he was turned away from me. Artemis began to untie the bandages I began to shake. Xavier squeezed my hand as if he was telling me to calm down and everything was alright.

A couple of minutes go by I feel Artemis start tying the bandages back. "Alright Miss Rosaline, everything looks good. The bleeding has stopped; however, they won't heal by themselves, but I won't explain it to you, Alpha may explain it to you later if he wants. But other than that, you're good to leave, i do recommend you stay in bed as much as possible. Till you do get healed. Also, you need to eat small meals through the day and drink water you are severely malnourished." He said looking at me then to Xavier.

"Artemis, has my mother come back yet with any clothes? "Xavier says, but then there's a sudden knock on the door. Xavier gets up and I hear a woman's voice, guessing it was his mother. I watch him tell her something then he kisses her cheek. Artemis follows his mother out the door. He Then shuts the door; he turns around and walks back towards me. In his arms are some clothes.

I look at him "A-are those for me" I ask shyly as he nods

"I asked my mother to find you something to wear." He says as he unfolds a simple black dress, and with it is a pair of flats and sets it on the bed for me

"O-oh tell her thank you." I said softly. "u-um do you mind helping me up Alpha." i said squeamishly

"Of course, little one" he says as he helps me off the bed and holds me steady as I whimper from the pain. Next thing I know he puts his finger under my chin and leans down to my face, to look me in the eyes. I can feel his breath, his lips not far from mine, why am I thinking this way? "Little one" he says sternly. I blushed and averted my eyes from him.

"Look at me now little one" he says with a smirk as he sees the blush on my cheeks. I avert my eyes back to him. "You do not call me Alpha; you call me by my actual name. Understand."

I nod, not knowing what to say, then I realize I'm standing in front of him almost practically naked and I blush and reach for the dress to try and slip over my head. I yelped in pain as I tried to lift my arms. "Hold on little one" Xavier says to me as slips the dress over my head and helps me put my arms through. He then kneeled down and slipped the shoes on my feet. I looked down, shaking a little bit as I noticed he was looking at my legs. My legs have bruises and scars all over them.

Finally, he stood up and looked down at me. "Are you able to walk at all." he says concerned

"I-I can try" I say as I take a step. I yell in pain as I start to lose my footing. The pain was unbearable. I feel like I'm on fire, it hurts so damn bad.

Xavier grabs me quickly to keep me from falling. "I-I sorry, I'm sorry, p-please don't punish me I-I-I'll try again." I was horrified thinking it made him mad, But the next thing I knew he scooped me up in his arms.

"Little one punishment is for the bedroom. not because of you being unable to walk in your condition." he says, and he holds me closer in his arms and breathes into my neck. "mine" I heard him whisper.

"A knock suddenly came at the door, one of the men who I saw earlier, I think it was Arlo, appeared. "Xavier are you ready to go" he says looking at Xavier then to me and I see him smile softly.

"W-where are you going." I asked Xavier

"You mean we; I'm taking you to our home little one." he purred, suddenly I felt tired my eyes were getting heavy, trying to fight it he started to purr louder and next thing I knew I was asleep.
