Chapter Seven

''Are you okay?'' He asked rubbing his hand along my shoulder where my mark would form in the next couple hours. His action sent waves of pain throughout my body. When I didn't say anything Anilith shot up from the bed, threw his clothes on and quickly left the room. Shit. I should've tried lying or just said something.

Fuck, I thought to myself. I managed to roll over on my back but the pain I felt in my hips were horrible. It was like stabbing pain when I moved my legs or just any part of that part of my body. When I forced myself up to sit up, Anilith and Thazon came down the stairs and into the room.

Thazon didn't waste time making his way over to me. He sat on the edge next to me and looked me over. ''Tell me what level your pain is at.''

''I would say a nine or ten.'' I should've lied. Anilith looked at me with his eyes wide before storming out of the room. I felt so bad but I knew he was hurting so much worse. Thazon put pillows behind me so I could lean back. When I noticed that I was still naked, Thazon wasn't even fazed. He just pulled the black sheet of over me, but kept my legs uncovered. God it hurt so much when he lifted my legs up one at a time. I think I whimpered in pain as he pushed them up closer to my stomach. The left one wasn't nearly as bad as the right. I screamed on that one and as the scream left my lips I could hear Anilith yell curses from upstairs.

Laying my legs down on pillows Thazon ran his hands along my hips and pelvic area. It was just as sore but I managed to hold in my discomfort.

''Nothing feels broken,'' Thazon said covering my legs with the sheet. That was good to hear. I was glad nothing was broken. ''I'm going to give you a very powerful painkiller to take for a couple days.'' I nodded. ''You should stay in bed for a few days. To give your legs, hips and pelvis a time to heal but also to loosen up and not hurt so much.''

''What about King Anilith?'' For now I would use his title around others until I felt comfortable calling him just by his name.

Thazon looked up from his bag. He had a bottle something liquid in his hand. I could only guess it was the painkiller he was talking about. ''I'll talk to him and let him know that nothing's broken. That all in all, you're sore and bruised. But other than that you're just fine.''

I nodded. I mean I guess he needed to know. But I still felt bad that I was just a weakling when it came to this. In that moment I really thought that I wasn't a suitable mate for such a hybrid as Azaix and Anilith.

Just then I heard a loud roar abrupt through the whole house. Thazon didn't seem bothered by it but the others from what I could hear were running out of the house. I knew it was Anilith listening in on my thoughts. I tried redirecting my attention back to Thazon who had a squeezable syringe for me to take. Thankfully the painkiller tasted like cherries.

''Thank you so much Thazon,'' I said leaning back.

He smiled. ''You don't need to thank me. I was more than happy to come and help.'' He stood picking up his bag and throwing it over his shoulder. ''If you feel pain at any time please let me know.'' I nodded. Of course. I have a really good feeling that I'll be calling for him. Though I hope I don't have to though.

When Thazon left the room, I sat up a little more. My legs throbbed sending little pinpricks up them. I wanted to move them so bad, but the pain of just moving them. God why was the sex so incredible but the pain so horrible. It pained me to think that way and despite what Thazon said and despite the pain, I put my legs over the side of the bed and stood. I threw on the white dress that Anilith had pulled off of me. 

Like before I pushed though the pain. It was crippling but I just pushed it aside and walked upstairs to see the kitchen, the living room and part of the stairs going upstairs where completely destroyed. Anilith really did a number on the house in his rage. Jeez I couldn't believe all the claw marks going all the way to the back door. Or well I guess I should say what use to be the back door.
