Howler

Chapter XXXIV

I spent most of the afternoon clutching to my pillow and groaned every so often. Sometimes I'd switch pillows just to mix up it a bit but other than that I was in for a fun filled afternoon. "Abby?"
"Go away" I grumbled "Abby no this is serious!" who ever it was pushed open my door. "Evie what do you want?" I flopped back down onto my pillows and snuggled into them. "No Abby I am being you have to get up" Evie tugged at my arm, wait what was she even doing here?

"Evie please, why are you here?" I asked her finally sitting up "Abigail, Harry's been hurt" now that for my attention "what happened to him?" I sat up fully now "Abby he's been stabbed..." I grabbed Evie's arm suddenly "take me to him" and she did.

Running through St. Noel's hospital I ran towards the nurses station. "Please I need to see Harrison Grace..." the nurse looked at me up and down "are you family?" I glared at her "no I'm his girlfriend, please his parents are doctors at this hospital and I just want to see him" the nurse looked me for awhile "oh yes he's Ben and Penny's son... okay you can visit him but your friend there needs to wake to out here" the nurse looked behind me at Evie "It's okay Abby, I'll be with Jem" she squeezed my hand and I turned back to the nurse "okay, he's in room 16, level 3 and if anyone asks your family" I thanked her and went in search of the room.

I finally found it and it turned out it was a private room. Inside Harry was lying on fine bed, a large bandage covering his chest and he was sleeping. In the room there were a bunch of red and orange daisies sitting in a vase and I could only assume they were from bus parents. I pulled over the chair and grabbed his hand.

It took everything within me not to cry.

"Oh Harry, I'm so sorry. I didn't mean for this to happen to you it's probably all my fault... you didn't ask for any of this, you didn't ask for me to be a werewolf or for me to be your mate and you never asked for this life. I am so sorry." I took a deep breath "I'm sorry, I wish could change everything and I wish that you and I were just regular people who didn't know what the end result would be, I'm sorry that I'm going to be a queen and your going to be my consort and that you'll be surrounded by werewolves and our children will be werewolves and everything will be nothing like you imagined" I started to cry and lent my head on the bed

"I'm sorry that I fell in love with you and that you will never feel the same...I'm sorry I did that to you Harrison. You deserve a nice normal girl that's not like me. Someone who doesn't turn into a giant fluffy wolf" I laughed "please don't leave me, I love you" I kept crying and I didn't even know why any more but I was pissed Harry got stabbed and I bet it was that god damn wolf!

I felt something shift under my weight and looking up I could see Harry stirring. "Harry?" I sat up a little straighter "uggghh" he groaned but he didn't open his eyes. At that moment two doctors walked in, A man and a woman. "Who are you?" I asked standing up suddenly "I'm Dr. Gillian Carter and this is my attending doctor, Madison James." I shook their hands "I'm Abigail Gilbert, Harry's girlfriend" oh crap I was supposed to say I was family. "Alright well Mr Graces parents requested us to be his doctors so I suppose you can stay if your really who you say" I narrowed my eyes at Dr Carter "fine then" I sat back down "okay so it looks like he's healing well and thankfully the knife punctured a non fatal artery and he will heal nicely" Dr Carter looked happy at that and was about to leave "wait!" He turned around again "how did it happen..."
"Well apparently he was taking a run early this morning and this figure walked past him and stabbed him, didn't even stop and was gone again" I nodded and said thank you and the two doctors walked out of the room.

I grabbed Harry's hand again and then Harry's eyes fluttered open. "Harry!" I was so startled I almost fell out of my chair. "Abby?" He tried to sit up but flopped back down again "oh thank the lord" I hugged him both ferociously and gently "I am so sorry" I began to cry again creating a small tear puddle on his shoulder.

"Hey hey, look at me" he lifted up my chin "you know I heard everything you said before right?" he said as I sat back down. "Oh...well guess I should go then" he grabbed my wrist suddenly "Don't leave" he didn't say it pleadingly but like it was a demand. He shifted over and patted the space next to him on the hospital bed.

Complying I sat next to him.

"So everything huh...I didn't mean go all monologue on you but I'm sorry I said the three words and I'm sorry I said everything when you don't even want to be with me" I turned away from him and he turned me back to face him. "Abigail, I was afraid and part of me still is but those three words you said... I feel the same and I have never felt so strongly and fallen so quickly and deepen and Abby I love you too"

I was shocked I said it because well I'm a wolf and well the mate bond made me become passionate and I was so prone to all these emotions. "Harry...does this mean we can be together again definitely and now you know what I am?" Harry closed his eyes and seemed to be deep in thought.

"Yes" I hugged him again and he kissed my forehead "please stay here with me" "I will" but how was I going to tell him that I had to begin the mating process and yet I haven't explained it to him.

And how was I supposed to protect him?

---

Okay okay I would just like to say that every werewolf story I have read they tend to say I love you very quickly and just because Harry is human does not mean he still isn't now prone to taking on some of the werewolves passion and fast paced manner when it comes to relationships and to be fair they've been dating nearly a month.

But on another note... Awww aren't they cute?
