Dangerous Red Riding Hood(Editing)

Chapter 20:

They go out of the packhouse but not before Lysander gets Jane some clothes. She suggests going naked but that only got her a trouble- promising growl as response, so she decides not to do that anymore. They get into his car and drive to the nearest city. As they enter the mall, Lysander hears his mate gasp, so he turns to her. Her eyes are narrowed, as she stares at the many walking groups of people talking among themselves. " What's wrong? " He asks, confused. "Let's just finish this as soon as possible. " She answers, not comfortable with seeing that many people. He nods, already guessing what got her so uncomfortable.

After they finish their shopping tour, Jane hurries to the car as fast as she can, dragging a chuckling Lysander behind her. As they enter the vehicle, Jane feels her scowl deepen. "Are you finished laughing? " - "Don't be mad at me, your behaviour was really cute." -"I will show you cute when I punch you in your handsome face. " He grins and his expression becomes smug as they leave the mall. "What is it? " She asks, annoyed at his smirk. "You indirectly called me handsome. " He states while his smile gets brighter, so bright, that Jane feels how her cold is facade melting away. "I've never been a good liar. " She tries replying bored but as she sees his childish grin, it kind of infects her.

He turns the wrong way, driving into the forest and Jane starts wondering. "Where are we going? " - "To our date. " Her eyes get wide and she starts stammering. "Bu-But didn't we plan on going a bit later?" He shakes his head, while grinning. She decides to not ask him anymore questions and looks at the forest that surrounds them on their jouney. "I am not dressed suitable for a date. " - "You look beautiful. " -"Ok. Then do me a favor. Why did you take me to that damned mall to buy clothes if I am not going to wear them now? " She spits out the word 'mall' because she hates it. "I thought you would like it, once you've been in it." She scoffs, but regrets it after seeing the tense face he has while staring at the road. She moves forward, kisses him on his cheek and says: "Thank you, I know you only meant well. " He turns his shocked face to her and mutters something under his breath, not seeing the big brown wolf running towards the car.

Jane looks up from Lysander's eyes just in time to see the brown wolf ramming into the driving car from the side, pushing it to the edge of the road. The car turns and collides with a tree on Jane's side. The woods turn quiet, as if nothing happened. Lysander looks over to his mate and musters her slowly, seeing no serious injuries, but just as he gets happy to find her in a good condition, he sees something that would scar him forever. Jane is hunched over, her hair covering her face and she breathed heavily. You might think that she was ok, if not for the dripping blood from her hair- covered face. When he notices the red liquid dripping onto her seat, his joy turns to fear. Lysander almost immediately gets out of the car and goes over to her side. He opens the door and Jane would have fallen out, hadn't he caught her. He sucks in a deep breath.

Jane's face is bloodied. Lysander looks for the source of the streaming liquid and is horrified when he finds a piece of class sticking out of Jane's right eye. "No, no no! " He mutters and when she groans, he snaps out of it. "Jane? " He calls her name with a slightly shaken voice. "Damn. " She whispers huskily. "Am I that attractive? " And then she blacks out. Lysander picks her up and runs to the packhouse, that is luckily within a short distance from where the crash occurred, with his werewolf speed. He runs to the packdoctor's room and enters it, without knocking. "Joseph, help her." He shouts. - "Lay her on the bed. " The doc starts stripping her clothes, much to Lysander's displeasure. "What are you doing? " He snaps, outraged. - "I have to see if she's hurt elsewhere!" Joseph snaps back, only to be growled at. - "I will take care of that, you go and take the stuff you need. Go! Hurry! " The young doctor leaves the room almost immediately. Lysander starts taking Jane's clothes off and growls low in his throat, when he sees Jane's skin, partly because of the lust he feels, but mostly because of the scars that are noticable on her skin. Some of them are fresh, and some are old, giving Lysander the reason why Jane didn't want him to see her body before.

When he sees no serious injuries there, he moves to her legs and takes off her jeans. He then notices that her ankle is sprained. He growls again, and then there is a knock on the door. "Alpha? Can I come in? " He takes off his shirt and dresses Jane with it. "Yeah, come in! " Joseph enters the room and moves to Jane. As he starts working on taking the splinters out of Jane's eye, he asks: "Anymore injuries? " -"A sprained ankle. " Is Lysander's only response.

When the doc puts a bandage on her right eye, he tells the worried Alpha that they should take her to the pack's hospital, which they do. There, Joseph bandages the sprained ankle and cleans the wound on Jane's eye better, so that there wouldn't be a splinter left. "Her breathing is stable, and so is her heartbeat, the splinter didn't cause any damage to the brain and I could bring all the pieces out. She will probably wake up soon, but.." - "But what? " Lysander asks, more like demands, dreading the answer that he is going to get.

"The glass splitters damaged her eye badly, and there is absolutely no chance for Jane's right eye to ever function again."
