"Armina please wake up" I feel a hand in mine as an annoying beeping sound brings me back to reality.
As I open my eyes I realise I'm in a hospital of some kind. An IV is in my arm which makes me wince. I hate needles. Give me bruises and cuts any day of the week.
Leo is sitting beside me; with Aiden pacing around the room behind him.
"Hey boys" I smile, watching as Aiden turns to me his eyes filled with stress and relief at the same time.
"Armina" he sighs. Rushing to my side to take my other hand.
"Finally" he breathes. A smile reaching his lips.
"Was I out long?" I ask, remembering everything clearly. The moon goddess, my mother being gone, my father not knowing about me, breaking my bond. All of it etched into my mind.
"3 days" Aiden answers, his eyes still filled with worry. I turn to see Leo with the same look. "I tried waking you when you came to my room, but your body was limp. You were barely breathing so I brought you here. They couldn't figure out what was wrong" Leo stares into my eyes.
"Well when the moon goddess wants to speak with you, you don't rush her" I smile, knowing I can trust them both with what I learned. Both gasp, looking to each other before they looked back to me.
"Please ask the nurse to come take this out, I have things to do" I order, having only one goal. Finding my father. "You need to rest my girl" Aiden says worried. I shake my head. I've never felt stronger or more determined.
"You can ask or I'll do it myself" I say. Trying to sound strong. Knowing taking a needle out is not my idea of a good time.
Aiden calls my bluff, "It's 3am Armina, rest. We will ask in the morning" I shake my head. Okay. I can do this. I quickly rip the tape; trying not to think about what I'm doing. I pull the needle out, wincing slightly as I stand.
I failed to think of how I've been laying down for days. My head instantly spins as I stumble and almost fall. Arms instantly catch me as I feel slight tingles spread across my body.
That's weird. Leo must feel it to as he looks into my eyes in shock. "Armina do you feel that too?" he asks, his eyes wide.
It's not a full mate bond. Just a preview of what we could feel if that's what I choose.
I'd have to reject Nate too. Making it stick. But then Leo would be mine. I can't help but wonder about his fated mate. The one that would have been his if I didn't reject Tristan.
'He doesn't have one, at least not yet' Aurora returns to explain, 'Aurora are you okay?' I ask relieved to have her return.
'Of course, when Selena asked to speak with you alone I respected it, but I still listened' She wags her tail. 'Leo could be ours' she sighs. It doesn't feel right holding him back from having a mate while we decide. I sigh. He deserves better.
'Let him decide that' Aurora states, 'he deserves to know' I sigh. This isn't going to be awkward at all.
"We need to talk" I say to Leo. I turn to Aiden. "All of us".
