Unscentable

Chapter 54 - Unscentable

Piper POV

 Piper's eyes flickered open briefly, registered she was no longer on the street, then closed again, too tired to keep her eyes open for more than a few seconds. Opened again sometime later, this would happen several times before she could open them properly and keep them open.She could hear the dull but constant beeping noise, like the rhythmic sound of a heartbeat, but by machine. The smell of cleaning chemicals filled her sense of smell, and as she looked up, she found herself staring at a hanging bag of what could only be blood, allowed her eyes to follow the tubing that fed into her left arm. 

Groaned as her body ached from the battle she had had. The wounds she had received.A stupid Vampire had bitten her, fed on her and Harper, that much she did recall, was clearly in some sort of hospital, a private room, she realized, as she allowed her eyes to move about the semi-darkened room. Just one lamp on, over near a small woman who was knitting, sitting on a couch, and there was Brandon asleep next to the woman.She moved her eyes back to the small woman, could see by the lamp light she was using to follow her knitting, that the woman was looking right at her, seemed somewhat familiar to her but couldn't place it right that moment, too darn tried to be honest."Where am I?" Piper asked. The smell gave the fact it was a hospital away, along with the blood transfusion she was receiving, but she had no idea where this hospital was, being here felt weird to her."In the pack dear." 

The small woman told her.Those words snapped her eyes very wide, "What Pack?" Piper gasped. There were no packs in Australia that she knew of, but there could be, she guessed, definitely had vampire packs, but wolves she'd not known anything about wolfen packs out there.Sat bolt upright, and she suddenly had a splitting headache, grabbed at her head and gripped it tightly, it was throbbing terribly, felt more than a bit on the dizzy side, had pain everywhere from the injuries she'd sustained and had yet to heal, likely because Harper herself had been unconscious too. Was barely starting to feel her wolf."Lay back down Piper dear," The woman stood up and put her knitting down, her voice was soft and gentle. "You lost quite a bit of blood, between your wounds and being fed upon, try to relax.""What Pack?" Piper repeated herself, but did lay back down, could barely hold herself in a sitting position. She had never been this injured in all her life. Felt exhausted.

 That woman walked right over to her, she couldn't have been more than barely 5 feet tall, seemed to be a gentle and caring person, wearing dark purple nursing scrubs, looked down at her and smiled "Your pack my dear."Piper closed her eyes briefly, once more and then looked at the woman with a frown a moment later. "I don't have a Pack." she informed the woman, she was of rogue status, had been for 8 years now. It didn't make much sense to her at all. That statement."Yes, you do dear." she smiled at her again "Being a Luna, of course you do."Piper's eyes shot to the woman now, "Wh...What?" that did not make sense toher, felt Harper huff inside her mind, and her hand reached up to touch the left side of her neck, where a Mate's Mark would go.Felt it, the sensitiveness and tingling of touching that spot, felt the mark where fangs had been buried deep into her neck, could feel the filigree that went along with the Mark, snatched her fingers away "No." she gasped, she did not recall that, could feel her heart rate racing, heard the machine in the rooms beeping increase dramatically.

 How? When had this happened?Stared at the woman, "How long have I been out?" her eyes were on that woman now and she was no longer at all tired. Wide the hell awake."Two days, from my understanding.""You are?" though the woman did seem vaguely familiar she couldn't quite put her finger on it."Lilly, Alpha Benjamin's Mate."Piper looked right at the woman. Oh, now she recalled who she was, though she had not had anything to do with this woman, barely saw her during her time here, or the other way around, she didn't know."It's been a long wait to meet you.""Right," Piper muttered. No one had ever waited on her, no one even knew about her "My son?" looked past the Luna to Brandon.
