Shifters: Skyler's Story

Chapter Six: I Won't Rest, Are You Joking?

   I awoke to a bit of pain but knew I'd live. I've felt worse pain before. Standing I whimpered and used the wall for support. A man I have never met before came in and he cought my arm.

   "You're weak, you really shouldn't be up," he mumbled. This man looked to be in his early or mid twenties. "Look, you injured your spine you need to take it..." he was cut off when an older man came in and this one I knew. The nurse.

   "Thanks son, I can take it from here," he said and the younger one nodded before letting me go and leaving. "Sorry about him. Please do sit back down so I can take a look at your back." I layed on my stomach and he came over to me. When I felt his cold fingers on my back I shivered. "The swelling has gone down a bit and the bruises haven't gotten worse. I'd say your able to leave to your room but no training." I nodded.

   As soon as I was out of sight I went straight to the training gym. No one was there this time of night so I trained with the equipment. My back hurt but like I've said I've had worse. I didn't stop until I heard someone come in the room.

   Wiping the sweat from my forehead I saw that the Nurse dude's son was standing there looking like he was about to yell at me. I gave him a daring look that told him to try.

   He pressed his lips together and remained silent. I went back to the equipment. Moments later I felt him touch my arm and then he pulled me back against him so my back was flat aganst his chest. I held my breath and he folded his body around mine. My eyes closed. What is he doing?

   His hands slid down my arms and he buried his face in my neck. I just barely heard him say 'beautiful' under his breath as he crossed our arms around my waist. I hardly noticed his hands moving lower until they were already in my jeans. 'No!' my mind shouted. I asked him to stop but he was already starting to touch me and I didn't want him to stop now.

   "It's okay," he whispered. "Just let me." This guy was so much older than me. I had to stop this. "Shh." I gasped as he touched me more.'No!' my mind shouted again.

   That's when he came running in and told this man to let me go. The man did and I hit the floor. My back did not like that one bit. I winsed in pain. I slowly got up and the guy helped me up glaring at the man.

   "Why would you even do that to her, Hayes?" the guy asked. So creepy man has a name then. Now what is the guys name? I waited. "She is way younger than you."

   "This is none of your concern, Asher," Hayes said glaring at him and making a move to grab me. I hugged Asher not wanting to go to Hayes. Asher's arms tightened around me. Hayes grunted and stormed off.

   I thanked Asher and he nodded. He didn't let me go. We stood for a long while in silence, till he finally asked if I've even been to bed yet. As I shook my head he lifted me into his arms and took me to my new room. Yay, sleep. He layed me on the bed and I asked him to stay just as I fell asleep.

   I woke up to find the bed next to me empty. That actually disappointed me a little. So he didn't stay then? Just as I was sitting up he came in with some coffee and clean clothes for me.

   "Morning, Sadie," he said. I smiled and took the coffee graciously. He set the clothes next to me. "I got you some clothes to wear. I hope they fit, Beautiful," he mumbled. I stood and nervously I asked him to kiss me again. His breath cought and I bit my lip. What am I doing? I have a mate.

   Asher stepped closer and pulled me to him gently. He asked if I was sure I wanted him to. I nodded and his lips crushed against mine. I was suddenly under him and on the bed. I wanted more from him and I knew he'd give it if I asked him to. We only made out for a while though, I didn't ask him for more. He eventually pulled away and breathing heavy he nuzzled my neck.
