"Never be ashamed of a scar. It simply means you were stronger then whatever tried to hurt you." - Unknown
Despite his loosened grip on Reynah's waist Alessio still held her in his arms keeping her close, afraid she might run away or collapse.
Reynah was still recovering from her shock, she never thought she would find her mate in another pack let alone the Silver Claw Pack.
"You're hurt."
Alessio didn't give Reynah a chance to respond as he bent down to lift her legs, making sure not to put too much pressure on her thigh. Reynah was flustered as her feet left the ground, having no choice but to wrap her hands around his neck to prevent herself from falling.
"Hey!, what-where are you taking me?" His eyes flickered with amusement at his mate's flustered antics.
"Home."
"Yeah well I have news for you buddy, my house is in the opposite direction" Reynah replied.
"Not anymore."
She attempted to mind link Tobias but he proved to be unresponsive, she grew worried, the last thing she told him was that she was getting attacked; she didn't want him to get in any unnecessary trouble.
"My friend must be looking for me, he's going to think I'm in trouble".
Alessio didn't reply, he just continued to walk towards to what I assumed to be his house.
"I'm going to start screaming if you don't put me down right now."
"Go ahead, this isn't your territory."
He had a point.
"Yeah well I'm not some precious object you can just carry around, so put me down before I hit you with my shoe!"
"No tienes idea de lo valioso que eres para mí" (You have no idea how precious you are to me)
"What?"
Alessio didn't respond, his lips curved into a smile looking down at his mate, noticing her eyes widening in curiosity, her nose scrunched up trying to make sense of what he had said.
"Great! Now I have to learn Spanish" Reynah exclaimed, exasperated at the fact that she couldn't understand anything he said, her mate could've just dissed her for all she knew.
~~~
"Can you put me down now?" Reynah asked for at least the tenth time in the span of 5 minutes. Her mate didn't respond looking at her unimpressed.
"Please, I'm capable of walking on my own two legs" Reynah pleaded once more, her hazel eyes staring straight into Alessio's dark brown orbs, almost black.
"I'm not putting you down until your leg is healed."
Reynah huffed, as she once again struggled to break free from him grasp but that only led to him tightening his grip on her lean frame.
It didn't take long for them to reach what Reynah assumed to be the pack infirmary, it reeked of disinfectant but Reynah had grown accustomed to the scent from her many years of working as a healer with her father.
Alessio finally granted her wish by gently placing her onto the white hospital bed. She glanced around the room and noticed one patient sleeping in a bed that was situated further away from her. Clean pristine empty hospital beds aligned the walls, the white sheets seemingly had been untouched for a rather long period of time. It unnerved her to see no one in the room, besides the frail man in the corner, sleeping soundly.
Although with the knowledge that werewolves have a faster rate at healing, she still had her fair share of patients to deal with, and now her being one of them, she knew exactly how it feels to be stuck in a room feeling quite alone.
"Where is everyone?" Reynah questioned the man who's name still remained a mystery to her. To be fair he hadn't asked for her name either.
"Asleep, it's 3 am." Reynah's eyes widened at the statement, the last time she checked, it was 11 pm.
"Stay here, don't go anywhere"
Reynah didn't respond and watched him exit the infirmary. The silence unnerved her, the only sound coming from the incessant ticking sound of the clock hanging on the wall across the room.
She hoped her mate would return soon, despite not knowing anything about him she still found comfort in him presence, whether she liked him or not it was apparent that her wolf had already fallen head over heels for the man that had yet to be given a name.
A few minutes later the intoxicating scent of Reynah's mate invaded her nose, Reynah turned towards her mate who had just entered the room with another man, she recognised the white coat he wore.
"Hello, my name is Kiran and I'm the pack doctor, do you mind if I check on your leg?"
Reynah nodded at the pack doctor who walked towards where she lay on the spotless bed that now was stained with her blood, she only realised now what a mess she must've looked like.
Alessio stood a few steps away from the two, his hard gaze of the doctor watching his nervous movements.
The pack doctor reached out to assess the damage on her thigh with his gloved hands. Reynah winced in pain as soon as his hand pressed on her wound.
Alessio growled, "Be more gentle"
Immediately, the pack doctor nodded his head in understanding. He continued to tend to her wound and reached for a bottle of medicine.
"Verani doesn't work with me, can you please use Amarene instead?" Reynah spoke up when she saw what the pack doctor was about to apply on her wound.
Reynah had her fair share of cuts and bruises to know what was the best medicine for her body, her father had taught her that no two werewolves were the same when it came to healing just like each wolf was different.
The pack doctor looked confused but chose not to argue and did as he was told, not wanting to anger his Alpha.
A few minutes later Reynah's leg was covered in a bandage, the pack doctor packing up his equipment.
"Thank you" Reynah said smiling at the old man, she felt guilty about the fact that he had to wake up so late at night just to tend to her small wound. The old doctor gently smiled at her and bowed to Alessio before heading outside.
"You didn't have to call him, I would've healed by tomorrow" Reynah stated, getting up off the bed before facing her mate. Alessio stared at Reynah, his eyes taking in every feature of her beautiful face, resisting the urge to kiss her right then.
"I'll sleep better knowing you will heal quicker" Alessio replied
Suddenly the door to the infirmary was pushed open and Tobias stumbled inside. His eyes flickered around the room before settling upon Reynah's surprised figure who had turned making her way towards her friend.
"Reynah, I was worried shitless, are you okay?" Tobias appeared in front of her, placing his hands on her arm, and waist as he searched for any injuries.
A sudden growl erupted in the room "Get your fucking hands off of her." Alessio snarled
