Third POV:

Christian paces back and forth in front of her bed , she hasn't woken up. It's been two weeks, why isn't she up?

His eyes held deep purple bags under them and his body is is tired and worried. His wolf growling for the doctor to do something, anything to bring her back.

Christian sat at the foot of her bed watching her. Blake had an IV in her arm and bandages wrapped her wrists. He cursed himself for treating her the way he did.

Blake had been in a coma for two weeks. In those two weeks Christians house was finished being built and she moved with him. His wolf didn't want anyone around her while she was out and neither did Christian. He put her in the room upstairs and painted it her favorite color of blue and decorated it with silver and grey.

Her mother protested left and right but the truth is she could care less. Christian grabbed her hand it was to cold for his liking , why wouldn't she wake up?

There was a timid knock at the door "Come in!" He yelled , the doctor walked in wearing a grimace "Dr. Reed." Christian shakes the pack doctors hands "Alpha, has she improved?" Christian raises an eyebrow "How am I supposed to know?" His tone comes out bitter , he's done waiting for the doctor.
The doctor is taken back "I apologize, I meant has she had any movement?" Christian shakes his head "No."

The doctor does his normal routine , check her vitals, check the machine then tell him the same thing. "She's healthy but I'm not sure why she's not awake." Christian sighs he's tired of hearing that. "Thanks doctor." He took a seat again at the foot of her bed.

Blake didn't wake that week or the next , Christian grew more worried and afraid she might never wake up.

Blake:

My body is sore like I've been beaten up or have the flu.
My eyes blink a few times before I just adjust to the light shining through.
I sit up slowly wincing at how in unbelievably sore I am, wait this isn't my room.

The room I'm in is a soft seafoam green and grey furniture is through out. Where am I?
I glance around the room and pause on him.
My eyes widen slightly , Christian is asleep in a chair to the far right in the room. His eyes are closed and he's snoring softly.
I watch him for a second , he stirs lightly. Christians sleepy grey eyes find mine , he clears his throat scratching his bearded chin "Your up." He's surprised , I nod slowly gesturing to the room "Where am I?" Christian nods standing up "My home." My eyebrows raise "The pack house?" I've never seen this room before.

"No I had a home built last year, it was finished last month." What? Why I am here? "My wolf didn't want you anywhere but with us, he's been restless to say the least." My wolf howls happily "So this is your personal home." Christian chuckles , God I love that sound "Yes." Uh, it's pretty unusual for alphas to live away from the pack house but Christian is rich.
"How long have I've been out?" Christian swallows thickly "When Lydia found you , you had been out for a few hours at least. Blake you could have died." He snaps.

I look down at my wrists they are covered by bandages. My mind goes back to my dream. It was an amazing dream , the thought makes me smile then sad. I'll never have that.
Tears well up in my eyes involuntary "I wish I would have." I whisper, Christian inhales sharply "Why would you say such a thing!" He's outraged , I scoff glancing out the window "I'm done living like this, I want more." I almost yell. Im tired of playing the victim.

I want Christian and I'm tired of having to hide it. "I want us." Christian is taken back by my sudden outburst. His eyes find the floor "Blake please." He pleads , I slip out from under my covers feeling a little lightheaded but I regain my balance.
I stand in front of him "Stop trying to push me away, we are mates. I was made for you!" I exclaim throwing my hands in the air "Please lay back down Blake." Christian exclaims. "No, not until you feel me why you don't want me." I need to know. My tone is panicked and my chest starts tightening "Please Christian , you owe me this."
