"Oh my God, Raya." Tears sprung to my eyes as I lunged onto her, crushing her in a tight hug.

She made a groaning sound, "Nic, I love you and all but get off me. I feel like I've been hit by a truck and you are not helping."

Reluctantly I pulled away from her. "Sorry. I'm just do glad you're a wake." Wiping the tears from my face, I tried to refrain from acting like a blabbering idiot.

Raya looked groggy and confused as she looked around. "Am I in a hospital room?"

Oh, shit. "Do you, do you not remember what happened?" I really didn't want to reexplain everything that had happened that night. Its not a night I wish to relive.

She shook here head. "I just remember I was going to meet up with Kevin to break things off and I then just remember screaming and blood and another wolf."

My head slumped down into my hands. "Raya," I began slowly. "I really didn't want to have to tell you this, but Kevin didn't react well to you dumping him. He attacked you, nearly killed you, but I stopped him. That was a year and a half ago. You've been like this ever since."

Raya let out a shaky breath, closed her eyes and relaxed against her pillow. "Can I get some water?"

"I'll call you a nurse." I nodded, pushing myself up.

A heavy hand landed on my shoulder and I nearly jump. "Nicollet, what are you doing? You can't call a nurse. We broke into this room, remember?" Kane asked worriedly.

I smiled up at him. "Only werewolf nurses are aloud to cater to Raya. I made sure if that. They won't kick us out. Besides if they live in the area, you are their Alpha. Are you not?"

He shrugged. "Fair enough."

"Wait." I turned back towards Raya. "Isn't there a call button on the remote next to you?"

She popped one eye opened, her hand fumbling around until it grasped the small remote. She squinted as she searched for the right button. "Here it is."

She pressed it. I held my breath. I didn't know what I was expecting. There wasn't a noise, or a red blaring siren. It wasn't until I heard the soft pitter patter of feet coming down the hall that I realized it did anything.

The door whipped open and a shocked looking nurse rushed in. I smile when I recognized her.

"Laura, long time no see." I greeted her.

Poor women, looked utterly confused. "Nicollet. What are you doing here? What's going on? Why are you here?"

"Raya woke up." I pointed ecstatically towards my friend. Raya, gave a slight wave to the nurse.

"Oh my goodness." The nurse rushed over to the bed. "I need to get a doctor to check in on her." She tore the stethoscope off her neck, pushing the earpieces into her ears. Laura slowly placed the other end to Raya's chest. "Okay hun, breath in an out for me. Nice and slowly."

Raya followed the nurses instructions. The nurse continued to do some basic test on her, before leaving to page a doctor.

That's when I noticed Parker take a small step towards her. He had pushed himself back into the corner of the room. Silently watching with gold eyes.

I went to step forward as well. I had to explain everything to Raya before Parker got all you are my mate, you are mine on her. I was stopped once again by Kane tugging me to him.
