Their Fated Mate

Chapter Forty

(Yoongi's POV)
After Addie passed out once the ritual was done, Jin took her back into her room as we all sat around and waited. From what we could see the marks had healed almost instantly, so her body had accepted the bond, but she hadn't woken back up.

We all sat around, waiting for her to wake up. We even slept in shifts, so that one of us was always awake so if she woke up, she didn't wake up alone.

After a few days we were starting to get worried. She hadn't woken up, at all. She tossed and turned every once and a while, but nothing more than that. It was insanely worrying. 

Had we somehow done something wrong? I wondered one night as I was the only one awake, everyone else had gone to bed hours ago. I sat in the chair that had been at her desk, but was now beside the bed. I could tell she was breathing fine, but all I wanted her to do was wake up. 

"You're speaking way too loudly." I heard her say in a faint and hoarse tone as she turned to look over at me, her emerald green eyes looking straight up at me. 

"You're awake!!" I said loudly and she just groaned softly as she turned over in bed, probably trying to head back to bed, but she turned to me suddenly. 

"Wait, you said that I'm awake in a very happy tone. How long have I been asleep for?" She asked me in an unsure tone as she sat up a bit, holding her blanket to her chest. 

"You've been asleep for about seven days. We were all insanely worried about you." I told her as her eyes went wide at my words. 

"No wonder why my body feels like crap, and I'm so hungry." She said as she got up, keeping her blanket wrapped around her as she headed into the bathroom. I watched as she turned on the light and then she closed the door behind her. 

I heard the water turn on from the faucet as I smiled a happy smile, she was finally awake. 

"Holy Shit!" I heard her yell out in a panic and I immediately got up to check to make sure everything she was fine, flinging open the door in my haste to see her looking at the seven marks that all decorated her body. 

Every mark looked like a rose, and there was a path of thorns connecting them all. Every rose in the center had our initials in it, mine were on her right thigh. 

"Is this supposed to be what it looks like?" She asked me and I just nodded my head, not sure how else to put it. Every mate bond's mark was different. I watched as she looked back down at the marks and studied the one on her wrist closely. 

"Roses, those are oddly specific."  I heard her say, but her mouth hadn't moved at all. 

"Do that again." I told her and she looked up at me in the mirror in confusion. 

"Do what again?" She asked me and I didn't know how to explain it. 

"Speak again in your mind I guess, I think I heard you last time say something about roses." I told her and her eyes only widened before she turned to me. I kept my eyes on her's the entire time. 

"You're saying you can hear my thoughts?" She asked me this time, but again her lips didn't move. 

"It would seem so." I told her back, but I hadn't said a single word out loud, only in my mind. 

"Wake up the others, while I take a shower." She ordered me and I just nodded before running to get the others and waking them all up. They were excited about the news that she had woken up, but they didn't know about the second part yet. 

Less than fifteen minutes later we were all standing around her room as we waited for her to come out of the shower, the water was still running. After another fifteen or so minutes the water turned off and we heard her curse under her breath.
