I woke up to the comfort of my familiar bed, my mind drowning in confusion. Was all that in my dreams? Why was I still in control of my person anyway? My body was killing me, so I stayed laying there.. Just staring at the ceiling and not all there in mind. I guess how I was so out of it, I didn't hear the door open or someone approach my bedside.. But now my eyes were set on a guilty Jacob. All of it was true. I had been tortured by this group for a crime I didn't commit. A group I had trusted. A group that had threw me under the bus before I could even blink.

I sat up, making sure not to show the pain I was feeling at the moment. "What is it this time? Anything for the Alpha, yeah?" I moved to stand up on the opposite end of the bed then him, making him know to keep his distance. I snapped at him, "Staring at me isn't an answer to my question."

"Ruby.. I'm so sor--"

"Sorry?" I laughed humorlessly before a sneer took over my features. "If you have nothing for me to do then you can just leave me alone, alright? I don't need you pathetic excuses, Jacob, alright?" I sat up slowly, my legs hanging off the bed. Of course he can see, by my movements, that it was still killing me from all the pain left over. Right now I just wanted a warm shower.

I began moving carefully to the bathroom, keeping my dulled eyes on the floor. As my mind was trained on what to do, I stumbled and fell to all fours. The fall shocked me and I breathed in quickly.. Too quickly. I started coughing violently and I suddenly couldn't breathe at all. Jacob was panicking beside me, but I tried to push him away. A weak attempt on my part and he ignored it. Instead, he pulled me to his chest, rubbing my back in an attempt to soothe my pain. Soon the attack was over and my breathe was calmed. Silence pushed through the room and I definitely wasn't the one to cut it. He seemed to notice this as well.

"You have to be careful, Ruby. You went through another traumatic experience because of this pack -- because of me. You need your rest for the next few days," his voice was quiet and remorseful. He knew how hard it would be for me to forgive anyone around here. "The alpha won't tell you to do anything for a while.. And if he does, tell him to come talk to me."

"You say that like he can control me," I let out a forced chuckle. Trying to put some humor in here, Jacob, go along with it. And he did. A loud laugh escaped him as he helped me back to bed, then to the door. I managed to stop him before he could twist the door knob. "What happened when I blacked out?"

His guilty eyes turned to mone and he put on a forced smile that made me frown. "We met your wolf."

Sorry it's been a while, friends! I'll update when I can! And thanks so much for reading and staying with it. ❤
