Forever Yours

Chapter Twenty Eight

Connor

I wake up squished between Sal and Devin. Sal is almost on top of me, and Devin's face is buried in my back. I'm on my stomach, my face buried in a pillow. I try to slip free, but Sal wakes up and so does Devin.

"You're so comfy" Sal smiles, running her fingers through her blonde locks. She fixes her hair mostly, and then bats her eyes at Devin. "You think your doctor would be okay with you all snuggled up with Connor?"

"Shut up" he grumbles. "He's like my little brother. You cute and all, but not my type"

"No you like your doctors" I grin, and he nudges me.

"Not all of them. Just one." Devin wiggles his browns. One of the nurses, Emma, who I've come to love, comes strolling in.

"Your man is gonna be here in an hour! Better hurry" She winks before leaving, the door wide open.

"We better get you ready! Go shower" Sal shoves at my shoulders. "You can't look like this!" She shrieks and gets up. She pulls me to my feet, which is surprising because Sal is smaller than me, but apparently she can hold her own.

Then she literally shoved me into my adjoined bathroom and I quickly got to work. I wash my hair and body. I scrub and scrub my skin. I bet I smell like a hospital.

After a shower, Sal combs my curls out and makes them "perfect". Devin picks out my 'sexiest' outfit, which is jeans and a light blue sweater. I'm dressed now, and i feel butterflies but also a very dark feeling. It makes me feel like I'm going to lose it again. I can't. Please.

"Hey," Sal says, sternly. "You're finally gonna see your man. You are not gonna black out. Or freak out. You're going to show him how far you've come, and how strong you really are. You're amazing Connor. Show him what he's missing. What he gets once you're out of here" I can feel the truth in her words as if we're connected.

I realize in that moment how close I've gotten to Devin and Sal, and how I feel they're pain as if it's my own.

Holy shit. I think I've imprinted on them. Imprinting in our world is when a wolf makes close human friends. It can happen between wolves, but it's too rare. It's when your emotions or feelings are intertwined with each other. You feel their love for you and you feel love for them. You can separate them, sure but it's so different. When Devin has issues with his Dr I feel deeply sad.

Sal not being able to openly love hurts me deeply.

I blink back my tears, and I hug Sal tightly, She huffs out a heavy breath, but hugs me just as tight.

Devin pulls me to him, and gives me a little smirk "You better fuck your man little guy. He's hot as fuck" Devin pulls me in for a hug, then he's releasing me.

His words hit me. I whip around, and in complete perfection, Ethan is there.

His hair is slightly longer on the top then usual, but the sides are freshly shaved. He has a beard too which makes my stomach heat. He looks really, really hot. He's like double the size, muscle packed for days.

"You must be Ethan!!" Sal squeals, jumping in place.

"And you're?" Ethan asks, but his eyes never leave me. My entire body sets on fire, all the way to my fucking toes. I don't even know if I'm breathing.

"Leaving!" Sal pulls Devin out, and then they're gone, leaving Ethan and I there. But then Emma comes in, to interrupt.

"Hi! Dr. Cuhn said he feels confident in your choices if you guys want to shut the door for privacy. And uh." Emma blushes, but hands a bag to Ethan. "These are also from Dr. Cuhn"
