Saved

•• Chapter 51 ••

I huffed as I watched the white ceiling. I looked around the room and my eyes landed on the window. I could see people flying around, some carrying boxes, others weapons. Ryan left early this morning and apparently, his troops were about to depart too. I wanted to go, but Zack scolded me about being injured and how useless I would be on the front lines. Even my mate refused to let me go. I knew they were doing it for my own good, but I couldn't possibly stay here doing nothing when everyone else was busting their asses.

First my wings, now that. Fortunately, I could still use my arm, but Zack said that I will need some muscle therapy. I'll have to learn everything back. That fucking royal ass of a Prince was good to take things away from me.

Bored out of my mind, I used my unharmed arm to push my body into a sitting position. My arm and body were so weak that I struggled a long time before I could let my back rest on the headboard. Not only my body was messed up, even my stamina. When I got my breath back, I swung my legs and carefully put my weight on them. When I was confident to stand up without falling, I made my first step with my hand on a wall for support. Hell, I was so weak that I couldn't hold them up.

Slowly, I made my way to the bathroom. I undid my pants and sat down to do my business. When I was done, I stripped off my clothes and entered the bathtub. I opened the hot water and let it fill the tub. I sighed in relief when the tub was filled with hot water. I could feel the knots in my muscles relax. I closed my eyes and enjoyed the feeling.

"There you are," said a voice making me snap my eyes open surprised.

"Sebastian," I answered with a smile. "How are you?"

It had been a while since I saw him. Apparently, my best friend took the position as King to replace my mate. He had been so busy that I never saw the man for more than a few minutes. I will like to go fly with him once the war's ended.

Sebastian gave me a tired smile, "I never knew that Ryan had so much to do. He always seemed to be with you," I laughed a little, before he added, "But... If Zack sees you here, he will scold you again."

"I know, but I wanted to take a bath..." I sighed and closed my eyes again.

"Even so, you shouldn't have forced your body to walk. You haven't rested enough," I cringed when I head the so familiar voice that sounded like my own mate. I turned my head and saw Zack with his arms crossed over his chest glaring at me.

"I'm sorry," I muttered as I let my body slide down, so only my upper face was out of the water. When I looked down, I realized that I could see through the water and see my naked body. I blushed hard and pushed my body further down until I was complexity submerged. I held my breath as long as I could before I had to resurface to breathe. "Don't you guys have other things to do except watching me?"

"I'll let you in the doctor's care then," chuckled Sebastian before leaving the room.

"I'll wait for you outside," he said before closing the bathroom's door behind him.

I quickly washed myself before getting out of the bathtub. I grabbed a towel before putting my clothes on. When I got to my shirt, I decided to not wear it. It would only get int the way anyways. Before going out, I saw my reflection in the mirror. My injury was the first thing I saw. They really got me good. Zack said I was lucky. I could have lost my arm. I tried to move it from its restraint, but a lighting of pain shot through my arm to my spine. I winced and stopped moving until the pain subsided.

I slowly made my way out and saw my mate's brother sitting on the chair next to the bed. Without willing it, tears rushed to my eyes. I knew he wasn't Ryan, but since they were twins, I could only wish that my mate was still here with me.

"What's wrong? Does your arm hurt?" he rushed to my side.

Even his voice was so similar. It only made me sob harder. What if he gets badly injured or killed? I wouldn't be able to take it. Zack took me in his arms and gently put me on the bed. When I looked up, I saw the face they both shared, but I could tell the difference. He wasn't Ryan.

"I miss him and it hasn't even been a day... What if something happens to him?"

"Keith, Ryan isn't out there alone. He is with his generals and that includes Helena. She won't let him die. Hell, she would kick him back to life if she has to. You know how she is," I smiled a little since it was something she would do. "Okay, let me see your arm, then I'll grab something for you to eat and you'll rest okay?"

"I want to help..."

"Your job is to rest. Ryan ordered me to tell you that. Rest for a few more days and then you'll be able to exercise and help your friend with the paperwork."

"Don't you have something to make it heals faster even if it hurts like hell?" Zack looked at me in the eye and I knew he was going to lie. Ryan always did the same thing too. "Please?"

"I have some cream that will protect your wound and soothe your pain," he took out a small bottle after he washed his hands. "Here, let me," he took my arm and poured some of the bluish liquid into his palm before rubbing it on my wound. I winced at the burning feeling that invaded my arm. It really hurt. "I won't give you what you're asking for. You'll have to be patient and trust  the old doctor."

"If you're old, I'll like to know what you're eating to be this handsome," I joked as he wrapped some new bandages on my arm.

"I don't need to eat anything, but more what is my brother giving you when I told you guys no sex."
