My Ungrateful Alpha

Chapter 9

For the past few days that I've been in the hospital bed I haven't been able to speak, eat, or sleep because I've been so afraid that Jack was going to come for me.

Jason came try to talk to me a few times but I couldn't talk. It's been really hard to take in what happened, to believe that it got that far.

The doctor came in and discharged me and told me I could go sit on the couch in the living room.

I'm sitting when my stomach starts to growl very loudly. "Wow you must be very hungry", a girl says. She has the bluest eyes I've ever seen and the lightest of blonde hair. She looks like the type of girl that is super intimidating but I can tell ,just by a feeling in my gut, that she is super sweet.

"My name is Arabella but, you can call me Ara" She smiles sweetly. I smile for the first time in what seems like years. "You must be hungry, here let me show you to the kitchen."

We go down a few hallways and take a few turns and I walk into the biggest and nicest kitchen I have ever laid my eyes on.

It had white marble counter tops and the nicest refrigerator. Ara opened the fridge and it had so much food in it. I seen some strawberries and that's all I wanted.

I'm sitting at the counter and then I see Jason walking towards me "Hey you look a whole lot better" he says so I nod. "You don't want to talk?" So I try to tell him I can't by pointing to myself and waving my hand horizontally and point to my mouth. "You can't talk?" So I shake my head no. "Why?" So I shrug.

Jason takes me to the doctor to check why I can't talk. He took x-rays of my throat and told Jason "She can't talk because she had terrible damage to her throat and her vocal chords. Maybe from Jack strangling her so hard."

"There's a room here that you could stay in if you like" Jason offers. I nod and tell him to show me the way with my hands. He chuckles and says "Okay then, this way."

He walks to this ordinary door but when he opens the door I can't believe what I see. The bed is a king sized bed with white satin sheets and satin pillows with this huge white comforter with gray dandelions in it. It's beautiful and the dressers are a dark oak and I have my own bathroom and it is huge.

I look at him with wide eyes and I feel so grateful for this because I've never had anything so nice before. "Okay so I'll leave you to it, there's clothes in the drawers and the closet. Alright, I'll see you later." He leaves and I'm standing here staring at everything.

I look through the clothes and find some black shirts and yoga pants so I grab the shirt and pants and go through the top draw and find some underwear. I head to the shower and smell the soap. It smells like honey and jasmine.

I take my shower and put on the clothes and I walk to my bed and run my hands over it. It's the softest material I have ever felt. I climb into the bed and lay down and drift off into the deepest sleep I've ever had in years.
