The Alpha's Daughter

Twenty One | Reprimanded

Nova

Waking up I roll over off my side onto my back and slowly wake up. While waking up I try to focus on my body and locate any area that's in pain. Finally satisfied with not feeling any pain I sit up and look at the clock on the wall. 11:00 a.m. Sounds about right. I had a feeling I would have slept in today. My body definitely had some more healing to do. I'm just glad I'm back to my healthy self I was before. At least physically. Mentally I fear I might have a lot longer to go, but I don't wanna think negatively.

Pressing the call button on my remote, a female nurse comes in and asks me if I need anything. I ask for something light to eat and drink. She leaves out of the room and comes back with a delicious strawberry yogurt and apple juice, then leaves after telling me to take everything slow.

After finishing up breakfast I decide to try to get up and walk around the room for a bit. Getting out of bed without help after a week does more than you think it does. Especially when you had nothing to eat or drink for that said week.

I make my way into the bathroom and do my old morning routine. Using the bathroom, brushing my teeth, shower, brushing my now tangled hair, and getting dressed for the day. Since I was able to do everything Aurora said I needed to do, I knew I would be able to get discharged.

Hearing some shuffling around the room I quietly open the door and peek to see who was in my room. I walked out smiling after seeing my dad, Noah, and Aurora.

"Hey, pup. You're looking so much better already. How are you feeling?" My dad asks walking over to hug me.
"I'm feeling a lot better. Thank you again Aurora."
"Pshh it's nothing. I would have done it wether I was allowed or not." She says while brushing me off laughing.
"You do look a lot better." Noah says as I make my way to the window.
"I feel better. I'm ready to go home. I did everything I was supposed to do in order to be discharged."

Turning around I see Aurora smiling at me.

"What?" I ask smiling back.
"Nothing. I'm just so proud of you. Noah and I are gonna go start your discharge papers now. It should take 5 minutes at tops." She says pulling Noah out the door with her.

They're too cute I swear. I turn to see my dad looking at me then he gets up and walks to the window beside me.

"Nova, I'm gonna say something and I need you to listen to me. Don't talk even after I'm done. Just listen, okay?" He say's shakily.
"Okay."

I turned to look back out the window knowing it would be easier for him.

"When Noah and I got that mind link from you, then we couldn't contact you.. I-I felt my chest tighten up, then when Ralph found your blood, but couldn't scent you.. I felt my heart shatter. I thought I lost you. I thought losing your mother hurt badly, but isn't wasn't nothing compared to how I felt when you were taken. I couldn't eat.. I couldn't sleep.. I just.. I missed you so much it hurt. I thought you were dead. It felt like déjà vu. I felt like shit when we had that argument. I tore up my whole office because I felt like I failed you, then when I lost you I knew I failed you. I don't ever want to fail you again." He said, then whispered the last part.

I start tearing up when his voice started cracking half way through. When he pulled me into a hug I inhaled his scent feeling at home. It reminded me that I wasn't dreaming. My chest started hurting from the feeling of my heart breaking. For a father to imagine burying his daughter isn't something I would wish on anyone.

I hug him like my life depended on it until the door opened. Noah instantly walked up to us and wrapped his arms around us. After a moment together I turned to my brothers teary eyed mate who was standing in the door way with my discharge papers. I walk over to her and whispered in her ear so no one could hear me.
