My Vampire Mate

Chapter 9: Kingstons' POV

I woke to a searing pain in my left arm and someone screaming. After a moment, my eyes adjusted showing me I was in my room and two warriors were hauling Marisole away from my bed with a bloody knife still in her hand. Looking at my arm, I saw another warrior applying pressure to the wound that was still gushing blood. A few seconds later, the pack doctor arrived and instructed the warrior to hold me down so he could stitch up my arm. As the doctor began the stitching, I forced myself to relax knowing that tensing my muscles would make his job harder. As he was bandaging my arm, uncle came close to the bed and realized I was awake.

"How long have you been awake?" he asked meeting my eyes.

"I woke up just as the warriors hauled Marisole out of here still holding the knife" I said trying to sit up.

"Slowly and try not to put pressure on it or you'll bust the stitches. You mean you were awake while I was stitching your arm?" the doctor asked.

"Yes, I had to force myself not to move or flinch luckily I had a little help with the former" I said nodding at the warrior and finally managing to sit up only using my right arm for leverage. Then asking "how long have I been asleep?"

"About eighteen hours now" uncle said.

"Wow, that explains why I feel so weak and hungry" I said putting a hand on my stomach.

"Lets move you to the infirmary for observation and we'll get you some food that won't be too rough on your stomach" the doctor said. Picking me up bridal style, my uncle carried me explaining "you haven't used those muscles and are still weak. This is the safest way to do it until you get your strength back. Don't worry, I'll have someone clean your room before you're discharged." Nodding, I accepted being carried and closed my eyes to try to contact Lucifer.

Concentrating, I found him curled into a ball by a camp fire. Approaching him, I sat down next to him and stroked his fur with my right hand and asked "are you okay?"

"I will be, how are you?" he asked.

"I'll be alright. The doctor says they stopped her before the damage became permanent" I said laying my head on his.

"Alright, rest now" I said before opening my eyes. Looking around, I realize I still had some time as we were in the hall that lead to the medical wing. Closing my eyes again, I contacted Noah.

"Hey, sleeping beauty is finally awake" he teased giggling.

"Ha ha ha. So, I figured out who my mate is" I said and then paused before saying "It's Remington. Oh and Marisole just tried to cut my arm off or kill me in my sleep. I'm not sure which."

"Yeah... I kind of knew about Remington already but killer Marisole is new. Are you okay?" Noah asked.

"Yeah, I've got some stitches in my arm and uncle is currently carrying me to the infirmary. Wait, how'd you know about Remington?" I asked shocked.

"We were trying to figure out a way to wake you up faster and Lucifer told us you said to put something that belonged to your mate next to you. So, he invited Genie, Carly, and I over to his house. We're actually there now if you wanna see for yourself" Noah said giving me permission to see through his eyes.

Activating the power, I watched for a few seconds as Remington stared at Noah with tears streaming down his face. Deactivating it, I listened to Noah as he finished what he was saying " he confirmed it himself. I've even seen his mark with my own eyes and it's identical to yours right down to the location. He seems to really care. He's the one who told us to send help to your room just now. Apparently, Lucifer has been using your power in your unconscious state to communicate with Remington directly. He felt some of the pain in the form of a headache and heard Luci screaming. I've never seen someone break down as fast as he did when he couldn't find the link anymore. He realized that it meant one of three things: either you were awake, Luci blocked it on purpose, or we weren't fast enough. Dude, he was full on crying in front of a room full of people. I mean he still kind of is now too."
