Chapter 16



Fortitude

Robyn blinks her eyes several times and the beast on all fours transform into a tall and beautiful two-legged woman. Robyn blinks rapidly again as Silver approaches her. Silver bend down and pull her into her arms. Robyn groan and her eyes fall shut in pain and exhaustion.

Robyn awakes up suddenly, every thought in high definition. Her eyes take in every ray of light and she knows she is not home. She blinks her eyes rapidly because she couldn't understand why her heart is pounding but when she lifts up someone soft hands are pushing her back down and into the soft bed.

She is finally able to focus her eyes on the worried witch.

"Don't move." Nikki tells her. "You have a minor concussion."

Robyn ignores Nikki protest and moves her hand to touch the bandage on her head. She hisses, and Nikki grabs her wrist and pushes it away from the wound.

"What did I just say?" Nikki frown.

Robyn chews on her bottom lip and slowly sit up. Nikki hair is pulled away from her face in a sloppy bun and she is wearing a pair of jeans and a Divide Private sweatshirt. She looked different from her usual attire. She is not wearing any makeup, but her skin is glowing naturally. Her eyebrows crease together in worry. "Are you feeling any pain?" She places her hand softly on Robyn's forehead. "Tell me what hurts?"

Robyn smiles and reaches her hand out to grab Nikki wrist. "I'm fine. Just a headache."

"I'll get Catherine." Nikki says suddenly. "She could get rid of a headache."

Before Robyn could protest Nikki is disappearing in a cloud of black smoke before reappearing a few heartbeats later. Robyn jumps in shock and Catherine steps away and hisses, her fangs emerging.

"If you ever do that again, witch. I'll bury you alive." Catherine says swaying unbalanced. She didn't enjoy teleportation.

Nikki ignores her, "She has a headache. Fix it." She demands folding her arms across her chest. Catherine runs her fingers through her red hair and turns around. She inhales before exhaling, "You couldn't take the time to come and knock on my door. You had to teleport me out of my lovers' arms?"

Robyn's eyes take in Catherine attire and she blushes. The woman is only in a pair of lace shorts and a very thin top. She averts her eyes quickly and Catherine rolls her own before grabbing the nearest lab coat.

Catherine checks her temperature and run a few tests before giving her a small pill. The headache instantly goes away and Catherine explains the do's and do not's while she has a minor concussion. Nikki listens intently. "May I leave?" Robyn asks.

"Yes." Catherine replies. "I request you have someone around to look after you." She pauses and turns slightly. "But, I see that will not be an issue." Catherine removes her gloves before washing her hands and disappearing out of the room.

Nikki helps Robyn to her own personal quarters. The mansion is quiet this morning, there are no pack members around. Only the maids and servants who speak politely. Robyn fusses over her and then help her into the bed before throwing covers on top of her. "Comfy?" She asks.

"Catherine didn't say anything about being on bed-rest." Robyn speaks.

"I know." Nikki takes a seat on the edge of the bed before leaning back. "I figured..." She yawns into her hand. "You needed the rest."
