√ Mated To Twins (DISCONTINUED)

Chapter Eleven

ALEXI

I groaned slowly turning onto my back. My whole body felt stiff. Pain flashed up my thigh to my stomach when I moved. Warm sheets brushed against my bare skin making me frown. I opened my eyes blinking rapidly to clear the sleep. My eyes fell on a white ceiling. Turning my head I glanced around the room. The walls were painted a light green with a thick forest green carpet. A door to my left stood open leading into what looked like a spacious bathroom. An antique dark oak wardrobe was pushed against the wall next to another door. On the right side of the room was a medium sized window with a window seat beneath it. A vanity table stood pushed against the wall. I laid on a double steel bed with dark wooden bedside tables which had two lamps on top of it. The room was empty. Lifting the covers slightly I glanced down. I laid in bed with only a sports bra covering my torso. The bottom half of my body was left bare. White bandages covered my stomach and right thigh. I moved my hand to my stomach to touch it and that's when I felt it. The pull of tape against skin. Lifting my hand to my face, I stared at the needle. My eyes trailed around the room again. I can't be in a hospital.

I dropped my hand just as the doorknob turned. The door creaked open and a young girl entered. She gasped when her eyes fell on me. My eyes widened when she suddenly stormed out of the room yelling 'Alpha! Alpha!' Blinking I pushed myself up on my elbows before slowly sitting up. I moaned. This was worse than going to the gym for the first time.

"You're awake." My head snapped up. Slade stood in the doorway staring at me with dark eyes.

"Apparently," I muttered, dropping my eyes from his.

A loud breath fell from his lips. I watched him from beneath my lashes. Slade ran a hand through his hair before stepping into the room. The door closed softly behind him with a silent click. I leaned back against the window pulling the sheets up to cover my bra.

"How are you feeling?"

"Beaten and sore," my eyes found his again. The familiar forest green eyes stared down at me. I guess a lot of things made sense now.

That night I was attacked and Fury found me. How he managed to heal so fast and the speed he used. Though I've never seen him change into a wolf. I studied Slade silently. My eyes took in his dark jeans and tight shirt. His hair was a mess and face pale. How is it possible for one to change into an animal? The question unexpectedly flashed through my mind.

"How long have I been here?"

Slade walked over to the window. He sat down at the window seat leaning his elbows on his knees. Minutes passed before he answered.

"A week," he answered, "you've been in and out of consciousness. We moved you from the pack hospital to a spare bedroom in the pack house."

Pack house. Only wolves live in packs. Wolves not humans. They're human but they changed into animals. I looked away from him. I don't know whether I should fear them or be thankful that they saved me from a cruel death.  

"Can they take out the IV?"

"Not yet," Slade stood. "A doctor needs to look you over before we do anything or you get out of bed."

I frowned up at him, "I feel fine. I don't need a doctor."

"You do!" He muttered something under his breath as he turned away from me. "You already know more than any other human living in town. I'm going to be honest with you."

Slade turned, "You saw what we are. Do you remember?"

"Yes."

"My brother is not like me. He's a hybrid where I'm a pure blood. The doctor said you wouldn't make it so my brother gave you some of his blood. We don't know what effect it will have on your body since you're human."

"Well I'm still here, aren't I?" I muttered, looking up at him.

"Don't be smart with me Lexi," Slade said, his voice dropping an octave.

"Or what?" I raised an eyebrow, "Are you going to punish me?"

A low growl fell from his lips and before I could blink, I found myself flat on the bed with him hovering above me. I sucked in a breath. His scent surrounded me.  My eyes dropped to his lips watching as he slowly licked his bottom lip.

"I'll be happy to punish you baby," he whispered, "maybe later because now you aren't fit to participate."

I shivered pressing my thighs together as heat pooled between my legs. Slade's nostrils flared. His eyes trailed over my face before dropping to my chest. My cheeks heated.

"Do you want that?" He traced a single finger from my cheek down my neck to the top of my breast. "Do you want me to punish you?"

My mouth suddenly felt extremely dry. I couldn't look away from him. Slade lowered his head. I sucked in a sharp breath seconds before his lips brushed mine. Barely touching. My eyes fluttered close as he moved his lips. They closed around my bottom lip before he pulled away. I let out a small sigh  kissing him back. My hands moved to grip his shoulders. I parted my lips beneath his allowing his tongue to slip into my mouth. Sure I've kissed men before. I had a boyfriend that I dated for a year, but he has never made me feel like this. Not even with a single touch. His hand slid lower, down my side before stopping at my hip. Slade pushed himself up on his elbow to lift more of his bodyweight off me. His hand moved up again slowly tracing my bare skin. I tried to pull away but his body kept me in place. Little lightning bolts moved from his skin into mine. It made goosebumps appear on my skin.

"Alpha?"
