Forever and Always Mine

Chapter 8

Heather’s POV

I wake up in Adrian’s arms. He is so adorable. I love him so much. We haven’t known each other for very long but that’s just how it is for mates. Adrian still hasn’t claimed because I wasn’t ready. But I think that I can say that I am. I want to officially be his. He never asked me to be his girlfriend. I know that mates can tell that there are going to be together when they first meet but I kind of want him to ask me.

My stomach growled at me. I carefully moved Adrian’s arm off of me. When I went to move I immediately felt pain in my ribs. I screamed from how painful it was and Adrian immediately shot up ready for whatever was coming. “What's the matter? What happened?” he asked with concern in his eyes. “My ribs, I can’t move, it hurts too much” I said wincing. I could still feel the pain even though I wasn’t moving. “Hold on I'm calling the pack doctor” he said grabbing his phone.

 The doctor was here in five minutes. “What happened?” he asked making his way towards me. I was still in my bed. I couldn’t budge without feeling a shooting pain. “My ribs, it hurts whenever I move. Even the slightest movement hurts. It even hurts when I breathe” I said wincing. “From the sound of it, I think you broke your ribs” he said as he turned to Adrian to see his reaction. “Did you do anything that could have broken them?” then it hit me. I remember that bitch of a waitress punching me in the stomach. She must have punched my ribs.

I looked over to Adrian and it looks as if he was thinking the same thing as me. He looked pissed. As much as I hate that bitch, I don’t want Adrian getting to her. God knows what he would do if he saw her. His wolf would probably take over and it wouldn’t be a pretty sight.

Adrian’s POV

That bitch, she broke my mate’s ribs. It is bad enough she even touched her never mind break her. She better hope that I don’t come after her. It would be the end of her if I ever see her again. No body lays a hand on my mate. She is going to get it if I ever see her again.

It pains me to see her in pain. I wish I could stop the pain. I can’t help but feel guilty for her pain. I should have realized that when Cassidy spilt the coffee on her that it was on purpose. Then when she left when she was trying to talk to me, and when Heather took so long in the bathroom. I should have known. Why am I so freaking stupid?

It was lunch so I got Heather some soup and went back upstairs into our bedroom. Thankfully she was a werewolf so she should be fully healed shortly. They pain isn’t as bad as it was before and she can actually move. “Thank you Adrian” she said. “Anything for my beautiful mate” I said leaning in to give her a kiss.
