Chapter 9:

The strong scent of anesthetic filled my lungs as soon as I took a voluntary intake of oxygen.  My wolf stirred causing my eyes shoot wide open, only to be blinded by strong hospital lights that were annoyingly too bright. I quickly draped my arm over my eyes to shield them from the strong florescent lights.

I closed my eyes, only to have myself lost in thought. What did happen to me? Right now I felt as If there was nothing to remember. So I did my best to try to recall what had happened. Recalling events and images seemed to be a blur…. like it was all just a dream. My heart immediately clenched at the thought of William.

‘Mate’ my wolf cried out.

I then realized I had someone holding onto my hand this whole time. I felt the soft but firm hand grip my wrists tighter “Princess?” William’s sleepy voice soothed both my wolf and I instantly. A smile stretched across my lips as soon as I felt William lean in.

I felt his breath brush down my cheek every time he exhaled. His breaths were warm and heavy. My smile grew even wider as I felt William’s warm fingers run softly across my cheek. William’s touch left a trail of tingly sensations to flourish on the apparent layers of my skin. Then forcefully burying itself into my skin, I felt it running cross my veins, leading butterflies to soar across my stomach and to settle into my heart… leaving me with a tangible feeling called ‘love’. However, there was this one quote that I use to tell my friends that would go into relationships with a person who was clearly not their mate. “One does not simply feel love- after all love is verb and not an adjective… so it is to be experienced and not just uttered” and right now… that was exactly what I was feeling.

“Hello” I whispered with a smile still plastered on my face.

“Hello, Princess” I could hear the smile in William’s voice as he greeted me. “How are you feeling?” worry coated his tone as he asks me. “I was so worried about you” he said as he trailed kisses down my neck, giving me goose bumps.

I lifted my arm away from my face and cupped William’s nape. “I missed you” I mumbled as I savored the tingles he was leaving as he continued to kiss my neck. I gasped as William wrapped one of his arms around my upper body.

I let out a soft moan as William unexpectedly sucks on the claim. William continued his amorous assault on my claim, I had bite down on my lower lip to try and suppress the lustful sounds that wanted to escape them.

“William” I moaned out causing him to groan in frustration. “Where am I?” as the words left my lips, William instantly stopped.

I felt him pull away causing me to tug on the hold I had on his nape. I didn’t want hi-… I couldn’t have him away from me. My eyes fluttered open. William’s handsome features came into view, hypnotizing cerulean eye’s stared back into mine. The hue and depth of his eyes made it seem like they held the ocean and its endless blue abyss captive. I felt so drawn to them, the dark rims around his gorgeous bl..ue e.ye…s…..

My mind was instantly flooded with images, scenes and sounds… then it came to me.

It was at that moment that I remembered. The memory hit me… like glass had been hurled towards me- shattering in contact causing it to break into a million pieces leaving me crumbling into the floor and destroying everything that I had known and believed in.
