The Mark Of The Immortal

Chapter 4

I have always hated the smell of hospitals and they in general crept me out. So laying in one of the beds has me a little scared. I slowly opened my eyes my body ached I heard my joints cracking, I sound so old. I tried taking my time sitting up but an alarm went off and I nearly pissed myself. However, nurses and doctors came running in looking all industrious.

"How are you feeling?" The doctor asked. I pointed to my hip and scrunched up my face indicating pain. "Oh I see, but that's normal." He smile and nodded. I felt woozy and I could hardly remember what happened. "A neighbouring pack attacked." He said curtly like he could read my mind. The door swung open hitting a nurse in the head.

"What the hell?" She rubbed the back of her head. Ethan and Gina pranced in and pounced on the bed.

"Be gentle children remember the Luna was injured." The doctor reminded the children.

"Thank you Luna." Ethan hugged me.

"They wouldn't let me visit only that Alpha was allowed and he came every day." Gina pouted. "I made you a get well soon card." She handed me the Crayola work of art. I held it to my heart thanking her.

"Children the Alpha would like to speak with the Luna alone so let's go get snacks." The doctor said and he took the children, he and his nurses exited the room and Derick stepped in. He walked up to the bedside and put my hands to his lips and kissed them. I didn't think how my actions would affect him, mom said he needed me as much as I needed him. He looked tired and sleepy.

"You are very stubborn." He sighed, he sat in the chair beside the bed. He had bags under his eyes and a beard growing, I reached for his face and touched the bags under his eyes and he closed his eyes. "I couldn't really sleep knowing you were in a coma." He said holding my hand to his face. He looked really tired and moved my hand from his face and patted the bed.

"You want me to come lay beside you?" He asked, I nodded yes and scooted over. He was rather big and the bed a bit small but he made it work. We were face to face on the bed, I probably looked a mess but I really didn't care.

"I guess whenever we have wars I'll have to chain you up." I winced at the idea of chains on my body again. "I didn't mean it literally I was joking." He said quickly. "Why did Murphy have you locked in a dungeon and tortured?" He asked stroking my hair.

I shrugged and looked away. "It's okay you don't have to talk about it if you don't want to." He cupped my face and I could feel our bond getting stronger. I needed to accept the fact that he was mine and I was his and he was the only one able to break the curse. I couldn't deny my feelings anymore and I saw fire in his eyes as we stared at each other. He pulled me closer to him and stared at my lips and he began moving towards my lips but the door burst open and I fell to the floor out of fright.

"Luna!" Someone yelled and then Derick was picking me up.

"Don't you know how to knock?!" He barked at the person.

"Don't get your panties in a wad." The person hissed at him. Who was this person, so brave to disrespect their Alpha?

"Mia what do you want?" He put me on the bed, my butt was actually hurting me.

"She is finally awake and I want to talk to my sister in law." The girl walked up beside the bed she was beautiful. She had raven black hair, emerald eyes and high cheekbones. If I went that way she would be my first choice.

"She isn't ready for meetings as yet." He blocked her.

"Get out of the way you big oaf." She pushed him but he didn't move. He couldn't block all the viewpoints why not just walk around instead of fighting. They continued bickering so they were brother and sister, I always wanted siblings the only child program was a bit boring after a while. "Just a minute then you have to leave, you overbearing twat." He moved out of the way and she pretended to be hurt by what he had said.
