Zander's POV

I have been surrounded by this darkness for what now seemed like forever already. But I knew that it has not been that long since the attack happened. The attack, I need to wake up already . . . I need to get back to my pack; they will be needing their alpha at a time like this. I need to know how many members perished in the attacked and I need to know how many have been injured. Being in this catatonic state that I was in I could still hear everything that was going on around me in my room but I just couldn't get my body to respond to my thoughts about moving, I couldn't do anything. I could hear the people every so often as they walk in and out of my room checking me over; I could also hear people that were talking in the hallway outside of my door.

The last thing that I seem to remember before ending up like this is leaving Rosa's diner after Arielle left to return to her hotel room only for me to be informed through the pack link by one of my pack warriors that happen to be on patrol of my territory telling me that there was a large group of rogues headed our way and they seemed to be ready to battle. They also informed me that it looked that they recruited a lot of people so they could try to take my pack out because there had been thousands of rogues at least. I remember after hearing that I became angry at how those mutts thought they could come into my land and try to destroy my home; my people's home.

After I became infuriated by the rogues I shifted to my midnight black wolf while running towards where many of my pack mates had already begun fighting the rogues that were coming onto our land. I remember seeing multiple wolves coming at me as I entered the battle and then bam I was here in this hospital bed surrounded by darkness. I was pulled out of my thoughts by the door to my hospital room opening and then the wonderful scent of vanilla and fresh strawberries came to my nose. I knew by the scent that my mate was in the same room as me and at her scent I could feel my wolf Midnight start to pace in the back of my mind wanting to see his mate but every time I would try force myself to open my eyes they felt like they were glued shut. I felt myself make a sound of discomfort inside my head at this because I wanted to see my mates face. I felt my wolf start to let whimpers out as we both heard our mate sob and then we heard footsteps that were coming closer to where we laid on the bed.

Once the footsteps subsided I could only assume that she sat down to the left of me where there was most likely a chair. I waited to see what she was going to do, or say. After a few moments I felt sparks fill up my arm as she grabbed it in her own hand intertwining our fingers together. From where she sat next to me as she started to speak.

"Hey Zander, please wake up I need you. I need you to protect me. I knew when we met I had a feeling in the pit of my stomach that I liked you I just did not know why until now"

I could feel as she was saying this to me my wolf he started to prance around my head in pride at hearing his mate telling him the she needed him, that she wanted him to protect her and mostly that she liked him. After a few seconds of silence I felt as her body leaned closer to mine and she started leaving soft kisses all over my face, At this my wolf started to go crazy. The fact that she was displaying such an affectionate act towards me, it made the both of us happy. After she was finished leaving gentle kisses upon my face she leaned back on her chair, much to mine and Midnights disliking. Once she leaned back and spoke again I could feel my anger fuel up my body

"Please wake up Zander I need you, your uh . . . pack needs you"

I had no anger towards my mate but I did have anger for the person who disobeyed me and told my mate about us, that was MY job, she is my mate. Before Midnight or I could get any angrier I felt myself simmer down as I felt a soft feathery kiss being placed on my hand that was locked with Arielle's hand. It seemed as if she was done speaking because I felt as she laid her head next to our hands and after a few moments I heard her breathing even out along with her heartbeat telling me that she had fallen asleep.
