Jessica POV-

~a few hours later~

I felt my body slip back into consciousness, my head spinning, and my eyes still closed. I didn't know where I was, but I was definitely not in the woods. I herd beeping and I was in a bed.

Strange thing though, I was cold. That was odd, I was never cold. Ever. It's a werewolf trait.

But, another strange thing, despite being cold, there was a source of heat beside me, and I had my arms wrapped around it. It was warm, and I was kind of curious to see what it was.

My eyes fluttered open and I froze. I was currently curled up beside Theo, who was sleeping peacefully.

Ok. This is weird, and awkward. What is he doing here? What happened? A cool chill up my spine interrupted my thoughts, causing me to hold on to Theo even tighter. Despite the awkward situation, I was still cold, and his body was warm.

I sigh a little and rest my head on his chest. His arm moved and wrapped around my waist, which, for some reason, was actually comforting.

He held onto my waist a bit tighter, causing me to wince. My hip hurt. I shifted my weight a bit and put my hand on my hip, immediately feeling a long scratch mark that had stitches in it. Why aren't I healing? This just keeps getting weirder and weirder.

I pulled my hand back and wrapped it around Theo's torso, relaxing a bit and letting out a small sigh. I didn't even know what time it was. Oh well. It was probably late at night. I hope I wasn't out too long, my Aunt Tara would worry, and I didn't want her too. Well, since I'm in a hospital, they probably contacted her, seeing as she is my only family left.

I small, slightly frustrated sigh escaped my lips. I closed my eyes and listened to the steady sound of Theo's heartbeat, which was kind of calming.

I felt his grip on my waist tighten again, and his eyes fluttered open, immediately making eye contact with me and smiling, causing me to smile back like a complete idiot.

"Hey, you up, are you ok?" He asks, worry and concern laced in his voice, his eyes soft.

I nod. "Yeah, I've had worse, I'll be fine" I assure him, smiling.

He nods and let's out a sigh of relief I didn't know he was holding. I still wanted to know what he was doing here.

"Hey, uh, Theo? Can I ask you a question?" I ask.

"You just did" he tells me, a stupid smirk on his face.

I sigh and roll my eyes. "You know what I mean" I say in a slightly irritated tone, causing him to let out a chuckle.

"Ok, ask away" he says.

I nod. "Why are you in a hospital bed with me?" I ask, curiosity filing my voice.

He seems to think for a moment and looks away, as if he's trying to form the right words, then looks back at me. "Do you remember fighting with the beast?" He asks me. I nod. "Ok, well, you passed out, then Scott managed to make you shift back, and I put my sweater on you, and took you to the hospital. Your skin felt like ice, and the doctors tried helping, but you wouldn't warm up, and your wounds wouldn't heal" he tells me.

I nod, urging him to continue, which he does. "So, Scott's mom Melissa, who is a doctor here, tried different methods to try and warm you up, and none of them worked, and you were getting colder by the minute. Melissa suggested that maybe another persons body could generate enough heat and stay that way to keep you warm, and it worked" he finishes.

I nod, understanding. "Thank you" I mutter quietly, laying my head back down on his chest and wrapping my arms around his torso more tightly.

"For what?" He asks, confusion filling his voice.

I smile up at him. "You saved my life" I say, smiling. He nods and wraps his arms more securely around my waist.

I pulled myself up and shifted my weight a little, so my head was about at Theo's level and nuzzled my head into his neck and wrapping my arms around him, liking the feeling of his warmth beside me. I close my eyes and drift off into a deep sleep.

Well, there you go, chapter 13. Sorry it took me so long, the last few days have just been so busy, and I had an awful migraine for a little. Anyways, thank you for the votes everyone😊 Keep reading😘
