A few weeks later...

Just like every morning for the past few weeks I get up, take a shower, and get dressed, then go to the hospital hoping to see Grayson wake up. He's still in a coma and it's been three weeks. Mason and I made up that same day but he's starting to get frustrated with me. He claims I'm passing up on my meals too much and I'm going to end up in the hospital if I don't start eating.
      
I go downstairs and get my bag to go to the hospital but a pair of strong arms wrap around my waist. I turn around to look up at Mason and I peck him on the lips.

"I was on my way to the hospital. What's up?"

"What's up is that you haven't eaten breakfast and there's food waiting for you in the kitchen."

"But-"

"But nothing Kennedy. You're not eating and it's affecting you. Babe you're getting skinnier and it's not a good thing. You have to eat. At least a little."

I give in and nod. He smiles and pulls me in the kitchen. I take a seat and he pushes the plate towards me. I grab the fork and start eating. Slowly but surely I finish the food and gulp down the orange juice. Mason looks at me with a smile and picks up the plate. I get up and put my cup in the dirty dishes. Mason hugs me and I lean into him, his chin rests on my head and I wrap my arms around him. He breathes in my scent and places a kiss on my forehead. I pull away from him and kiss him on the lips.

"I love you."

"I love you too Mason. I have to go to the hospital but I'll be back before sunset. Bye."

I grab my bag and go out the door. I unlock the car and turn on the engine as I make my way to the hospital.

I get to the hospital and I greet the lady at the reception desk before going to Grayson's room. I turn the knob to his door and go inside the see it's just me and him. Agnes must've gone to take a shower and eat. I sit down next to him and just sit there staring at him. I get up to sit down on his bed and run my hands through his hair and across his face.

Grayson's POV

Everything is white, it's as if I were in a room with just never ending whiteness. I walk around for a bit and see if I can find anything but it's just all white.

All of a sudden a bright light appears and I shield my eyes. When I open them there's a lady standing before me. She has flowing black hair, about 5'6, with curves, and blue eyes.

"Hey...um...who are you?"

"I am the moon goddess Grayson."

"Oh shit. Why are you here? Am I dead?"

"No. You're in a coma but you'll come out of it soon. There are people who love you Grayson, don't give up. You have so much to live for. You'll be reunited with your mate soon but all takes time. Be patient. I have to go but remember, never give up."

"Wait! What do you mean I'm gonna reunite with my mate? Are you talking about Kennedy? But she's with Mason."

"All will happen within its time. Goodbye Grayson."

A bright light fills the room and when I open my eyes again the room is dark. Great now it's dark here and I can't see shit. Everything stays like that for a while until I hear something and then I feel tingles on my hand. I hear a voice but I can't distinguish it or understand what they're saying. I try with everything in me to open my eyes or make the slightest movement but come empty handed. I try again and I feel my finger twitch slightly. I feel the tingles again and something wet fall on my face. This time I try and concentrate on opening my eyes and they slowly start cracking open.

Kennedy's POV

I take a hold of Grayson's hand and speak to him.

"Grayson, you need to wake up. I miss you. Hell we all do but that's why you have to wake up. Things just wouldn't be the same without you. I-"

I stop talking when I feel his finger twitch and I gasp. I quickly click the button to call a nurse over and I start crying in relief. He's going to be okay. I wipe his face where my tear fell on him and I see his eyes cracking open. I stare at him in shock and he just looks at me with a small smile.

"Kennedy? What happened?" He tried getting up but I push him down gently.

"I know you're an alpha and you're tough but try not to kill yourself next time. Seriously, like do you know how worried I've been. I've been coming everyday hoping to see you wake up and feel disappointed when there was no change. The good thing is that you're awake now."

"I am tough. I mean just look at these." He points to his muscles and I roll my eyes.

"Seriously that's all you got out of what I just said. I missed you so much."

I wrap my arms around him and I feel him tense before he wraps his arms around me and pulls me closer to him. I start crying into his gown and he rubs my hair. I breath in his scent and it instantly calms me down.

"I missed you so much. You don't know how it felt when I went home everyday for weeks and see no change at all with you. It was stressing me and I feel so relieved now that you're awake."

We talk and I tell him about what's been going on but then the doctor comes in.

"I'm gonna step out for a bit and call your sister to let her know you're awake."

I walk out the room and close the door behind me. I take my phone out and call Agnes's. Within a few seconds her voice comes through the speaker.

"Hey Kennedy. What's up?"

"He's awake Agnes. He woke up!"

"Seriously? Thank the moon goddess. I'm on my way!"

I hang up and go back into the room.

"...you're going to have to stay for a week or two so we can keep track of you. If you make progress and are good then we might let you out early."

"Thanks doc."

The doctor nods and goes out of the room leaving Grayson and I alone. He pats the spot next to him on the bed and I walk over to him and sit down. He extends his arms and I wrap my smaller ones around him while he wraps his around me. I snuggle closer to him and the exhaustion of the past weeks gets to me and my eyes start feeling heavy. My eyes start closing as Grayson pulls the sheets over me.

______________________

I wake up and hear people talking. I rub my eyes and sit up. I look around the room to see Agnes and Mason staring at me. I smile sheepishly at them and get out of the bed. I go to Mason and he pulls me down so I'm sitting on his lap. I hide my face in the crook of his neck and sleep for a while longer.

When I wake up again Agnes is on a chair next to Grayson's bed. I sit up on Mason's lap and he kisses me on the cheek.

"How was your nap?"

"Pretty good. I think the exhaustion from the past weeks got to me. But I feel a bit more rested now."

"That's good. We should go since you haven't eaten anything since this morning."

I look outside and see the sun is starting to set. Holy shit I slept through the whole day. I get up and go over to hug Agnes.

"We're going to leave but I'll come back tomorrow. I'm sorry for falling asleep it's just that-"

"It's okay Kennedy. I know you're tired. Hell I am too. I'll see you tomorrow then. And thank you."

I nod and look over to Grayson. I smile at him and briefly hug him. I turn to Mason and he takes my hand in his as we go out the room.

"How did you know he was awake?"

"Agnes called me. I guess she was just excited and felt the need to tell everyone she knew about the good news."

"Okay. Let's go home. I'm tired."
