The Rejected Wolf

Chapter 9

Andy POV

When I woke, it felt as though I'd been run over by a dump truck.

My chest hurt and every breath made me want to scream.

I opened my eyes to see the IV in my arm and the monitors connected to me.

A hospital bed.

I couldn't see much in the room since it was dark except for the blinking light on the monitor beside me, but I felt someone moving next to me, and when I looked up, I saw he was holding my hand.

It was obviously a guys hand by the way they made mine look tiny.

I tried to take my hand away, but he just gripped harder. I knew my pulling had made him wake up though because I felt him move again.

"Andy? Are you awake?" Logan? What was he doing here?

"Hello." My voice came out as more of a croak, but he heard me.

"Thank goddess. You scared me. Hold on, I'll get you something to drink for your throat."

He stood up and walked away, a second later the light came on, making me blink.

"Here, drink this." He told me as he handed me a plastic cup. I drank the water happily; I was so thirsty.

When I handed the cup back, I could see his face for the first time. He looked horrible, his eyes looked exhausted, and his hair was a mess.

"Are you okay?" I asked him.

He laughed, shaking his head. "Am I alright? You're the one who was attacked and you're worried about me?"

"You look like hell." I replied, causing him to laugh even harder.

"I'm fine. How are you? Can you tell me who did this to you?"

"I'm okay, just sore, I don't know who it was though. I was getting something out of the freezer, and they hit me on the back of the head. When I fell to the floor, they hit my face and my chest. But I heard them laughing. I think there were three or four of them. I'm sorry. I tried to open my eyes, but I couldn't."

"Don't you dare apologise; you did nothing wrong. Whoever did this is a coward. And I'm going to kill them." He's eyes shone a shade of black and I knew he was serious.

"Thank you, for saving me again."

"It's my pleasure Andy." He smiled at me.

"I'm going to let the doctors know you're awake, okay?" I nodded to him, and he left the room, a few minutes later Alexi mind linked me.

Andy? Logan said you were awake, are you okay?

Yes, I'm fine.

I was so worried about you little sister. You looked dead. Did you know Logan found you? He broke our front door to get to you. When we got to the hospital, he looked terrified.

Wow, he broke our door?

Yeah, it's in pieces. I have no idea how he knew you were hurt though.

Hmm. He was right, how did he know?

Realisation dawned on me as I remembered what I had said before I passed out.

I had called for him.

I think I called him before I was knocked out.
