The Beast's Mistake

Chapter 11

Alice White

This is it, im finally gonna get out of this stupid hospital room.

I had just been informed that i will be released and i was so happy. The doctor gave me crutches, but Alaric told me that i dont need it because he will always be carrying me. And I do not like that idea.

At first, i didn't agree with him but I couldn't resist him since he was really looking forward to it.

Now im just sitting here waiting for Alaric to arrive because he is currently talking to the doctor about my medications and stuff.

About 5 minutes later Alaric came in, picked up my bags and carried me bridal style.

"How are you love?" He suddenly asks "Im good. Im supposed to ask you that." I said "Why?" He asked again. "Well, you are carrying me after all." I bluntly said. He only chuckled.

" you weigh like a feather" he said. "I dont know if I should take that as offensive or-" "No! Your beautiful just the way you are" he cuts me off. "I didn't say I was ugly though" i jokingly said "N-no its not like that-" Alaric quickly said "Im kidding." I laughed lightly.

He was a little embarrassed at first but eventually laughed with me.

Once we finally get to his room, he carefully placed me on the bed as if i was a fragile porcelain doll.

"Would you like to eat something, love?" His pet names always makes me blush, i brushed off my thoughts. "Can i have some hashbrowns please?" I politely asked. "Ofcourse, i'll be right back"

He walks away, im guessing hes getting the food. While he was away, i played games on his phone.

6 minutes has passed and suddenly i hear whispers outside the door.

"How's the luna Alpha?" A familiar voice asked. "Good, she's recovering." A voice that i know belongs to Alaric, answered. "She's a fighter, I'm sure she'll start walking again in a couple days." the voice said "I hope so, she doesn't seem to like me carrying her around." Alaric replied, I then stopped listening after that because I know eavesdropping is bad.

Moments later Alaric came back with a plate full of hashbrowns in it, my mouth started watering at the sight of the mighty hashbrowns, Im a werewolf so I definitely have a large appetite.

I picked up the fork- well, tried, as Alaric quickly picked it up before me. "Let me feed you" he insisted. I shook my head, not wanting to be treated like a child. "My legs are the only injured part of my body you know, i can manage." I said "I know, love. I just want to make up things with you, its the least i could do." He replied looking down in shame.

My fingers touched his chin and made him look at me, "hey... I already forgave you about that, remember? Its okay, you don't have to be so guilty about it anymore. Im fine now, see?" I softly said, trying to comfort him. "Im trying, I really am its just that it haunts me every night, seeing you nearly die because of me, what if I killed you before your birthday, then I would have never-" he said, his eyes tearing up but I quickly  put my finger between his lips and shushed him "I know, but it didn't happen, im here and thats all that matters." I said.

I waited for his reply but instead, he hugged me tight and kissed my forehead. "I'll make it up to you,
I promise my love." He said and my heart fluttered, maybe the big bad beast wasn't so bad after all, all he wanted was someone who would love him. I thought. "So, can I have that hashbrown now?" I asked kiddingly, Alaric chuckled, I mean can you really blame me? Im hungry!
