I feel someone touching my hand, and voices yelling. I hear a door slam and I twitched my hand.
"Scarlet, my angel please open your eyes my love." I hear a beautiful voice whisper, followed by a kiss to my forehead.
I groan, and try to open my eyes. After a few minutes they flutter open and I'm met with a bright, blinding light, and instantly shut my eyes, scrunching my face together.
"Sorry my love, the lights are off, think you could try again." I hear after some shuffling and a click. I open my eyes and am met with the most amazingly, beautiful sight. My mate sitting beside me, holding my hand, as if I would disappear.
"Water" I croak out. He instantly gets up and grabs a cup handing it to me, I shakily grab it, and he holds on guiding it to my lips, making sure I don't drop it. After I finish drinking, my throat feels better and I look around.
I think I'm in a makeshift hospital room. It's much more cozier feeling than a regular hospital, I'm guessing it's the pack doctors room.
"Are we at your pack?" I ask looking at Dominick. "Yes my sweet, after the fucker put his hands on you, I had my beta pick us up and take us here, Trisha, the pack doctor treated to you..." He trailed off.
"Is something wrong?" I start worrying. "The doctor is mildly concerned why your wolf isn't healing your bruises, and when she ran some test, well....Scarlet have you had your first shift yet?" I shake my head no.
Most wolf's have their first shift when there 13, I'm 17 and still no shift. It always worried me but at the same time, I tried to not think about it. It feels as if a part of me is missing.
He gives me a kiss on my forehead, "We'll figure this out okay?" I nod my head, not wanting to this about this anymore.
I think he notices because he suddenly clears his throat and says, "How are you feeling, think you can stand up babygirl?"
Oh lord. I could feel my heart beat louder, and my face redden. I squeeze my thighs closer together and try to answer him.
"U-um y-yes, I feel much better....thank you" I shyly reply. He hold out his hand to me, and I slowly place my hand in his. I swing my legs around to the side of the bed. I start leaning off the bed and feel my feet hit the floor.
I shiver at the coldness from by bare feet on the tile floor, and start standing up. After some assistants from Dominick, I am able to stand up, my whole body feels sore. Feels like I was ran over with a semi truck.
"Take it slow my sweet, don't wanna hurt yourself and be asleep for another two days." He says mumbling the last part.
"What? Two days? I've been asleep for two days!?" Oh no John is going to be so mad at me. Not only did I tell someone, and got him in a fight, but I haven't been home for two days! I'm so dead. This is the end of Scarlet Rae.
I could feel myself shaking as I start tearing up at the thought of what John's going to do to me. "Hey, hey it's okay why are you crying love? Does it hurt?" I feel myself being pulled into his warm embrace, and debate whether to tell him.
He moves me back so I'm sitting on the bed and sits next to me, draping his arm around my shoulders and pulls me closer to him. I don't wanna admit it but his smell calms me down.
"I- i need to go" I say frantically trying to break away from his warm embrace to leave.
"Woah, wait love" He pulls me back to him gently but holds me firmly, "where are you going, my love?"
"I-I need to leave, p-please, please I n-need to go" by now I'm in panic thinking about what John's going to do to me. I'm dead meat. The thought makes me cry harder.
"Love hey, calm down sweetness, deep breaths, deep breaths, do some with me love come on." He takes my hands and turns me so I'm facing him staring him in his beautiful hazel eyes, and try to take deep breaths like him.
After a while my tears dry up and my breathing and heart rate have calm down. He drops my hands and tucks me into his side. "Love tell me what's wrong, I'll fix whatever it is little mate."
"Joh-my father is waiting for me, I...I really need to leave" I feel him tense up, and he starts squeezing me tighter. "You're not leaving to go back to that disgrace of a man. You don't have to worry about him anymore."
"You don't understand I need to go!" I'm starting to get frustrated. I need to go why doesn't he get that!?
He arms are now squeezing me to the point it hurts due to my bruised body and probably broken bones. I tear up again from the pain, and start whimpering, and moving around trying to relieve myself of the pain.
Immediately the squeezing is gone, and so is the warmth. "What's wrong, did I hurt you?" He looks at me frantically searching my face for any sign of pain. "M-my stomach hurts a little" I say weakly.
His face softens, "Can I see my love?" he looks at me. Do I let him see..? He'll hate me...I can't. I shake my head no, and back away slowly. He looks hurt, but quickly hides it. "Very well...I think you should get some sleep love, c'mere doll" He stretches his hand out, and I gently place my hand in his.
"What about my father..? He's going to be mad I'm not home." I say quietly not wanting him to hurt me again for bringing it up.
"Love you don't have to worry about him anymore, okay? Your safe, and he's not going to get you here." I search his face for any sign of a lie, and find none....sleeping wouldn't be such a bad idea. I let him lead me out of the room and down a short hallway, we enter a different room and sit on the bed.
I don't remember much after I sat on the bed. I know I laid down and fell fast asleep. Laying on the softest bed I've ever felt.
