Burning Sensation

CHAP LIV

EMILY'S POV

I can't believe I just kissed Alpha,
Oh my God! I just kissed Major General of our country and here I am laying my head on his arm that he provided as a pillow.

To prevent myself from fooling myself I try to raise my left hand which is free and away from Alpha's side but the instant pain that shoots in my body almost makes me scream but I still wince and curse.

I quickly turn to Alpha and see if I did not wake him but he is still sound asleep. I smile at him. I bend my right arm and bring it to caress the back of it over his cheek, down to his stubble.
He has grown some of it from what I remember which tells me, he probably hasn't had time to care for himself the past twelve weeks that I have been in a coma.

God, I don't even want to think or picture it but I can't help it.
I can't get the image, pain, and the feeling of burning while still alive in my system.

I remember looking up to Alpha and the most regret that sat in my chest in a kingsized throne seat, was knowing I was leaving without ever giving the man that was on top of me begging me to stay with him when I could feel life drain out of me a chance to love him and be loved by him.

I regretted hiding under the cover of friendship when what I hold for him in me, was more and way more than that.

I lay my hand flat on his cheek.
Feeling grateful for being in this moment, for this second chance.

I don't want to sleep, twelve days in a come feels like enough sleep for me.
But I don't know how it happens,
Eventually, I fall asleep and only wake up at a nurse trying to wake Alpha.

I glare at her before hushing her away with my hand.
"What do you want?" I whisper.
She looks shocked that I'm awake.

"When did you wake from the coma? I'm here for a morning check-up?" I nod my head understandingly.

"Sometime in the night, could you do what you are here to do quietly? I don't want to disturb him nor wake him up?" She looks at me and then at Alpa and I watch confusion feeling her gaze and the whole of her face.

"I will go get the doctor I will be right back," I don't reply to that, I just purse my lips in a frown.
I lay back and wait for the nurse and the doctor to resurface.

It's a middle-aged man, handsome at that may I add.
He smiles professionally at me. "Good morning, Ms. Emily. It's nice to see you are awake. How are you feeling?"

"Lower your voice, please," I whisper and the doctor's brows shoot up.
I thumb to where Alpha is and whisper again. "I don't want anything to wake him up, just do your work quietly pretty please and I'm good for now. I will get the result from you later on, if there is a problem that can't wait then say something." He looks confused for a minute.

He turns to share a look with the nurse that I can't quite distinguish but I don't care as long as they go by my demand.
Later on, the doctor nods his head and gets to work along with the nurse.

I see them scrubbing down something on his clipboard and asking me questions about how I'm feeling in a lower voice and I whisper back.

It's for some time before he nods his head at me, I guess that means everything is good for the moment. I nod back at him with an appreciative smile.

But when they turn to leave, I call out the nurse to stay. "I don't know how the schedule of people who stayed over was. But please, do me a huge favor."

"What is it?" I look at her and smile.

"I owe you,"
