Misfits

Chapter 7

Peri's Pov.

It was dark.

I could feel myself being lifted, but I didn't know who it was. I feel heavy.

I tried opening my eyes but they won't. My body has shut down and I don't know why.

I could see a wolf, my wolf to be exact. She was sitting down, looking at me. I come near her and she nuzzles her head under my arm.

I stroke her fur, looking at her eyes. She was even more beautiful now that I've seen her in person- or in wolf rather haha.

I could hear noises, someone whining and hospital smell.

What am I doing in a hospital? I can't be cured in a hospital.

Lapis knows that, were not humans.

Lapis.. I wonder what she's doing... She's beautiful too..

I can't think like that, I shake my head internally. I have a mate that's waiting for me..

If I fall for someone, I'd just get hurt... Lapis would be hurt too, assuming that she likes me that way. She also has a beloved and I can't keep her away from him...

I have a mate and responsibilities.. I wish there was some other way..

A bright light surrounds me.. And next thing I know...

I woke up.

"Peridot?" A voice next to me says.

My throat hurts, like I haven't drank anything for the past few days.

Lapis hands me a glass of water and I gulped it down immediately. I wipe my mouth with my hand.

"Lapis, Where are we? Are we on human territory? You know I can't be cured by human medications." I said, frowning..

"No, we aren't. We're at the academy's private Hospital.
I saw that friend of yours, Jasper was it? With her mate. I asked her to carry you all the way here." She said, looking down at her lap.

I smiled at her.

"Thanks, if it weren't for you, I'd surely be roadkill." She smiled at that. We laughed together.

"So, feeling better now? The doctor told me that I should call him ones you wake up." She said, standing up to leave.

"I'm fine, thanks for asking. A little dizzy, but other than that I'm fine." I said.

She smiled and left to call the doctor. I think there were many kinds of doctors here in this hospital. Since we are different species, the founder wanted all of us to have our own doctors that are same with our kind.

Moments later, Lapis returned with a man following her in a white coat.

"So Peri. I assume that you are fine after what happened?" He said, looking at me.

I nodded, my head slightly spinning from the act.

"The way your wolf acted, I'd say that it doesn't like the way others treat your friends, it got protective all of a sudden and took over.
What I don't understand is why would it do that for a person you just met. I am referring to miss Lazuli over here." He says, pointing his thumb in Lapis' direction.

I shrugged, "Maybe I'm just really protective of my friends." I stated.

He looked at me then to Lapis, then back to me.

He smiled, his smile was unsettling, it was like he knows something.

"Well, you are free to go Miss Greene, just make sure your wolf won't go haywire next time." He says, grinning at us.
