Always His

Chapter Twenty-Four

I could smell the distinct smell of the doctors moment before I opened my eyes. The bright lights and walls were dead give aways the second I opened my eyes, also the numerous tubes coming from the machine next to me and into my body in numerous places, mainly around my stomach.

I turned my eyes as far to the left as I could and I could almost see the whole screen that had a constant ultrasound going of my stomach to make sure nothing happened to my pups and went unnoticed.

I know that I was too stressed, also the reason why I blacked out, and also the reason why I am in the hospital. I just don't know why Uraih is past out in the seta across from my bed. Shouldn't he realize I'm pissed at him amd I don't want to see him, or anyone that is family right now, but by the numerous 'get well' cards, ballons, candy, chocolate, and stuffed animals surrounding my bed, I would aay that they don't care what I want at the moment.

I reach over and pressed the red button that says it calls for the nurse. I just didn't realize it would send a siren going through the whole room, and I assume hospital wing. I hear feet thundering down the hallway, but my eyes are locked on the dark eyes staring back at me, lidded with sleep, but still wide awake.

Nurses and doctors fill the room, but our gazes don't break as the doctors fiddle with the tubes connected to me and the machined that they are recording from. Finally, I break our gaze to look at the doctor that is asking me questions.

"Oliver, can you feel pain anywhere?" I shake my head no, but I guess that has more to do with my werewolf healing then anything else, otherwise I would be in extreme pain.

"That's good, now, tell me, what made you pass out? How did you get so stressed out?" I stare at the doctor before my gaze flickers to Uriah's and back to his. The doctor hums when he notices the look and writes down something on his clipboard before hugging it to his side.

"Well, I'm not going to sugar coat it. You almost lost all of your pups with the amount of stress you put on your body. And in addition you most likely would have died too. You are lucky you got here when you did, otherwise you just heard what eould have happened. So, to prevent this from happening again, we are going to keep you on bed rest, here in the hospital wing so we can measure your stress levels and such. You only have a few more weeks left of your pregnancy. Let's make them some goods one, okay?" I nod at the doctor before looking down at my hands that are locked on top of my stomach. I don't remember putting then there, it must have been subconscious when he said hat I could have lost all of my pups. I don't want that, that would mean I'm alone, I don't want to be alone, never again.

"Alright, I let you get some rest. That's what you need, lots and lots of rest, okay?" I nod again at the doctor before he smiles his goodbye and leaves with all of the other nurses and doctors that were hovering around the door.

The room goes quiet for a few moments after the door had been closed, but then Uriah spoke up.

"I'm sorry. I never knew that hiding this from you would make you this upset." He says quietly as he stares at the floor. I stare at him in shock and anger. He didn't think I would be affected from them all hiding that I have a second chance mate.

"You thought I would be mad that I had another mate after the first one I had was complete crap? You thought I wouldn't be angry if you told me that I was your mate, and that everyone knew except for me? How does that seem acceptable in your brain? How did you sleep at night knowing you were hiding something from me that could have made me happy. That would have made me like how I use to be before I thought I was alone?" I fire of question after question as I feel tears gather in my eyes. How did they all think I would feel when they finally told me? Happy? Sad? Angry? Miserable?

"Don't cry, Oliver. We didn't realize you would feel like that, that you feel like that. If I knew you would have taken it the way you did I would have told you earlier so it wouldn't have harmed your or your pups." Uriah says as he rings his hands together worriedly.

"You thought I would have acted this way back then? I'm not mad that you are my mate, Uriah, I'm mad that no one thought to tell me and let me decide for myself if I wanted to be mated to you. If I thought it would be be a good idea to have you in my life." I tell him as I stare at him with wide sad filled eyes.

"You didn't get mad because I'm your mate?" Uriah asks confused as he stands up and takes a seat on the side of my bed.

"I'm mad because you guys tried to hide away my happiness." I say softly as I stare into the dark eyes that I have become familiar with.

"What does that mean?" Uriah asks as he stares back at me with an intensity that I didn't know was capable of having.

"Its means I want you as my mate."
