Mated To Twins [OLD VERSION]

ALEXI

My brows furrowed as I slowly turned onto my side. I was completely stiff which made the process slow and slightly painful.
Sucking in a deep breath, I relaxed waiting for sleep to pull me under again. It didn't. I was wide awake no matter how badly I wanted to go back to sleep again. Letting out a low groan, I finally allowed my eyes to flutter open. I blinked a few times to get use to the dim light. The lamp on the bedside table was on casting a low glow around the room. My eyes fell on the tape that kept the needle in place, then moved to the chair. One of the twins sat there sleeping silently. It was hard to make out who it was since his face was tilted back and into the shadows. I frowned.

Something was off. I could feel eyes burning into the back of my head. Swallowing, I slowly turned my head to glance over my shoulder.

“Fury,” I whispered.

He sat at the window by the window seat. The light from the moon outside casted an eerily shadow upon him. His eyes though, his eyes seemed to be glowing brightly as he watched me. I turned onto my back again so I could look at him without straining my neck.

“Welcome back little mate,” he muttered.

“Where did I go?” I frowned at him.

“You've been out since the attack.”

I pushed myself up on shaky arms. Pain shot through my head making me wince. I just woke up and already I had a darn headache. A cool hand brushed against my cheek. My eyes snapped up to find Fury next to me. His eyes trailed over my face in concern.

“Should I call the doctor?” I shook my head then gave him a small smile.

“I just have a headache.”

He didn't look convinced. With gentle hands Fury pushed me back down. He hovered over me for a few more seconds before straightening.

“I'll go get the doctor,” he muttered.

Before I could even utter a word he had already disappeared through the door. I groaned. Men were so confusing sometimes! With my eyes glued to the ceiling I thought back to what happened. I remembered everything clearly. The sound of the explosions echoed in my ears as the image of the bloodied twins flashed before my eyes. I couldn't decide what near death experience was scarier. If I was on an IV then I guess this one was worse than the other two. I couldn't remember much after being carried by Fury into the forest.

My eyes darted to Slade. His chest rose and fell with every breath he took. Slade looked extremely peaceful from where he slept. I had the urge to touch him. It became so strong that I pushed the sheets back and slowly sat up. I sat on the edge of the bed for a few seconds and then stood on shaky legs. My legs felt like jelly. How long had I been out? I had to use the arms of the chair to keep myself up. I was weak and I absolutely fucking hated it.

My eyes darted over his face. He had a beard. It surprised me. This was the first time I've seen him with facial hair. He looked even sexier. More rugged like his twin. I slowly reached out with my right hand to move the hair from his forehead. A gasp fell from my lips when his hand shot out to grip my wrist. His eyes fluttered open a second later. Slade stared at me silently until he seemed to realize who it was.

“Lexi,” he whispered. His hand cupped my cheek gently. “You're awake.”

“It appears so,” I muttered.
