Born a Rogue

chapter 29

                       Lexi's POV

   My pups are ok, and Derek is ok. When Derek makes me hold still for a couple minutes, I start to feel the pain of my injuries, but I ignore them, I want my pups.
   After he is happy I go back to tending my pups. They are all awake wanting to nurse. But I'm covered in blood, I look at Derek and whine. He looks at me and I take off running. I sense a warrior is following me, I get to a nearby lake and run into it. I come back out as clean as I am am going to get. My wounds are bleeding but the rest of the blood is gone. I run back to my pups and lay down and nurse them. I don't care that the three warriors are here watching, my pups are more important. After feeding them and cleaning them, Derek picks up the four and I take the fifth in my mouth and we head home.
   When we get home a warrior opens the door and I trot in with my pup and Derek follows behind me. I go to our room and jump up on the bed forgetting that I am bleeding still. I lay down with my pup and it begins to nurse as Derek sits the other's down next to me and they begin to nurse.   
   Derek takes my paw to look at my leg and I finally feel the pain and I bite him. He jerks back, looking at me. "I'm sorry,"I mindlink him, "that hurt."
   He just looks at me and smiles and say,"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to hurt you, baby, but that needs to be looked at, all your wounds need to be looked at."  "I'll be fine," I reply. I go back to the pups needs.
   After the pups are fed and everything. I get up and jump down onto the floor and work on cleaning up my wounds. All the while Derek's watching me in wonder.
   Someone knocks on the door as I'm cleaning my wounds and I growl and lung at the door, I don't want to be messed with and nobody is touching my babies not today.
   Derek walks to the door and motions for me to stay. He opens it and walks out and closes the door behind him. I hear him talking to someone and says that I'm not ready and that I'm keeping everything clean, and to come back tomorrow.
   I hear footsteps going down the stairs, and Derek comes back in after awhile with food. Thankfully he didn't cook anything so it's raw. I devour it and look at him thankful. Just then the pups started whining and I jump up on the bed and nurse them and I soon fall asleep with them cuddles into my fur.
   The next day, I decide to change for the first time since I left, after I changed so did the pups. Derek walks up and gives me a hug and kiss. The doctor comes in and checks the pups and I out. My wounds just need some cleaning and that's it.
