The Sovereign Heir

Chapter 35 Three Days Later

I am finally able to hold my eyes open, my vision seems more advanced along with my hearing. I can distinguish the exact window a fly is caught between in the sunroom of the palace, on the back west wing to be exact, that's if my ears are right. Wow, did I just see a totally different colors of yellow in the sunlight?

I can see Nolan coming down the hall, but I could see as if he was pure energy in movement instead of a solid physical form. Shit! What should I do? Play dead or .. what the hell is wrong with me, this isn't Kill Bill volume I.

"You're awake!" Nolan put me in a bone crusher hug. "How long have I been out?" Nolan decides to use our mind link instead of talking. "Three days, you must be hungry." Wait a damn minute, I've been in this semi-comatose state for three days? This has to be a dream, there is no way I lost three entire days. "I am starving, hang on. What's this in between my legs? No! you let her put an external catheter on me?" Now, I'm more than embarrassed, I am down right mortified. What was the woman thinking?

"Your mother thought it was a good idea since putting a traditional catheter wasn't ideal. I know you are pissed, but it is better than a diaper." He made his point, so I let it go.

"Nolan, I need to talk to you; I never had a chance to tell you.." he interrupts me, "It can wait till you eat something and rest a little more. I almost thought I lost you because of that piece of shit Ashton." I am done resting; I have rested for three frigging days. I have to tell him now before more craziness starts to happen.

Nolan rubs his thumb across my cheek before he left. Everything I sense is turned up a notch, I could see Lexi is not here or in the palace. My brother is with our parent's and Nicole is at the pack house dealing with the aftermath. I took the catheter off, placing it into my bathroom. Yana walks through the door, bounding onto my bed and rubbing her head against mine. She let me see everything I had missed in the three days of my unconsciousness. This cat got around and in everyone's business.

Nolan returns with a loaded omelet, toast and of course pineapple juice; my mother clearly had jokes. "Where is Lexi?" He pauses slightly, "That will be an interesting story. I will catch you up on everything you missed. In the meantime please eat."

I dig into the omelet, Yana decides to climb into Nolan's lap and curl her huge body into a ball. I devour every morsel of food. Nolan stood up taking Yana with him as he removes the tray. I pop out of bed to soak myself in the tub, I needed to get dressed and head to the pack prison. I need to break Ashton's mind before anything else happens, I need to know where the rest of the Persea ash is being kept.

"Where do you think you're going?" I am taken aback by his tone; I know he isn't really asking me that. "Going to take a bath and then interrogate Ashton, I need to get answers only he can provide."

Nolan storms into the bathroom behind me, grabbing my arm roughly, "You aren't going anywhere! I almost lost you and I need to have eyes on you at all times to keep you safe." Wow, wow, keep me safe? No one can keep me safe but me.

"I can take care of myself; I don't need a babysitter or guards!" Nolan wraps his arms around me, caging me, "This is not up for debate." Now I'm going to have to beat his ass, "Like hell it isn't, Nolan." I twist my weight to an angle, "I really hate to do this, Nolan, but you leave me no choice."

You Asked For It

I lift my body up, bringing my legs up ready to spring down to the ground, using Nolan's strength against him. I toss him over my back dead to the floor. "Enough!" My voice booms in the entire house. My parents and brother run up the stairs, banging on the door. I contain the room, preventing anyone from coming in or out.

My mother links me, "Elaina, Sweetheart why are you blocking us out?" I need them to stay out and let me handle my life for once. "Stay out, all of you! This is between me and my mate!" I could see my father put his hand on her shoulder, "Lilah, let her handle this, it is her life after all. Bryant. stand fast just in case." My brother isn't having any of it, "Are you two serious right now, she will rip my head off. I'm out."
