I watched everything Amber did. She took the shirt off of my angel and I was struck again by her state, but even more by her beauty. I winced and growled when Amber pulled the bullet from her shoulder.
"I need water!" Amber yelled at me, I growled but let her be. No one could yell at me and get away with it, but since she was fixing my broken mate I allowed it. I barked for someone downstairs to get it, I knew they could hear me, for I couldn't leave my mates side. I walked over and sat on the edge of the bed, taking care to not jostle her. I stared at her face in silence while Amber worked. A minute passed, then there was a knock on the door. Adam's mate Bella came in with the biggest bowl we had, full to the brim with warm water.
"Alpha." She nodded and bowed before placing the bowl on the bedside table and exiting. Amber finished fixing her up and started to wash her off. I watched Amber take a big towl and start to rub off the dirt and blood smears that covered her delicate body. My wolf shivered in delight at having her naked in my bed, especially since her skin was now glistening with the fresh warm water. I suddenly had a mental image of her under me, her skin glistening with sweat not water. I pushed those thoughts aside, now was not the time to think like that. I needed her healthy and awake for my sanity. I was going a little insane because she had not woken up yet. After Amber finished washing her she pulled clean thick bandages out of her bag that was laying in my desk chair against the wall. She wrapped the white cotton arround her shoulder then I lifted my angel a little bit so that she could wrap another bandage around her back. I sat her down and got a clean shirt and a pair of the smallest boxers I could find. I handed them to Amber and went to the bathroom to scrub her blood off of my forearms. I came back to my mate already dressed and Amber gone. I decided to go and take a quick shower to get the smell of the woods off of me. I stepped out of the shower and toweled off before dressing in a pair of boxers and curling up on the floor to sleep. I could smell my mate close so my wolf relaxed and so did I. I drifted to sleep dreaming of my little red wolf.
