The Young Mate

Chapter 13 (Edited)

Lila

With a scream I sat up off the bed. Cold sweat coated my skin and I'm panting. I look around the room and I hear loud, deep shrieks. I'm still in bloody clothes. I know it hasn't been long because the blood is still wet. I get up quickly and followed the rush of people.

"Alpha you have to let us help you." Someone said over the yells.

"No! I have to find her!" He screamed back. Oliver's voice mingled with his. I found the room. Jason, Jackson, and three other guys I don't know hold him down. I stood in the door way and his eyes found mine.

"Get her out!" A doctor said. I have never seen such a hateful look come from my mates eyes.

"That is his mate." One of the strangers said. Then six arms pulled me closer to him. I was put behind his head.

"Hi." I mumbled. I made sure to keep his eyes on mine. I put one hand on either side of his head. He stilled as he calmed.

"Where were you?" He asked with a small hiss at the end. They stuck a needle in his arm. His eyes drooped a bit.

"They had me in another room. I passed out." I looked for a second at what they were doing. They just stitched up the bullet wound.

"Why? Are you hurt?" He tried to move but I pushed his shoulder down.

"No. I was scared. There was so much blood." I shuttered involuntarily.

"I'm s-s-" His words were all starting to come together.

"Don't you dare apologize." I scolded. If he wasn't on an operating table I would have slapped him.

"I should have listened to you. You said you didn't want to go. But I made you." His words slurred together.

"Your just high. Be quiet." I grinned. They finished everything up with him.

"At least I'm high with you." He grinned stupidly.

"Your the only one high." The started to wheel him out.

"Weeeeeee! Are we going on a ride?" He sang lolling his head to the side. The doctors and I suppressed a laugh.

"Yes. We are going to a room so you can sleep." They got into the room and hooked him up to a bunch of wires.

"Man I get to be the new Terminator." He set his face all serious. "Get to de choppa!" I busted up laughing. I sat in a chair and the doctors left. I could hear their laughter down the hall.

"You need to sleep. You have got to heal up." I patted his hand.

"Oliver's doin' that for me." He said sleepily. I got up to leave so he could fall asleep but he grabbed my hand. "Will you stay with me?"

"Yes." I breathed. I sat back down but he patted the bed. He scooted over and I cautiously sat next to him.

"I don't bite too hard." He chuckled. He put his arm around my shoulders as I laid down. I nuzzled into his shoulder and sighed.

"Are you sure I'm not hurting you?" He pulled me even closer.

"Yes. I'm sure. You make the pain go away." He plopped his head on my shoulder and put his other arm around my waist. I slowly started to fall asleep

_-_

I fell in and out of sleep once the sun came up. But someone closed the curtains so I went back to sleeping like a rock. Landon kept me warm. He is like a freakin' heater. But once the voice got louder I finally woke up. I rubbed the sleep from my eyes and opened them.

"Hey sleepy head. You gotta go to school." I heard Jane's voice.

"No." I turned my head the other way.

"Yes. It's Monday. It's time for school."

"Nooo." I whined. "I'm tired."

"She has been not sleeping. Maybe we should let her have the day off." Landon reasoned.

"Well then Jane can go. She can collect work." Jason's voice rang out.

"Why can't I stay home?" Jane whined making me laugh a little.

"You are perfectly fine." I could hear the eyes roll from Delilah.

"Whatever. Have fun faker." She poked my knee. I stuck my tongue out at here.

"How are you feeling?" Landon asked me once everyone left.

"I'm okay. How do you feel?" I opened my eyes and looked at him. He looked like death. The burns on his neck are angry red. He's also got dark purple eye lids. Maybe something to do with silver? I would hate to see what his chest and side look like.

"I'll be okay. But could you move over a little. The bruises are sore today." I slid directly onto the cold bed. I saw his bare chest and my jaw dropped. Dark blue and purple bruises peppered his torso. There is also a big piece if gauze covering the mist severe wound. I lightly ran my finger tips over the bruises.

"How much pain are you in?" I wanted to cry.

"Not a lot. You being near me make me feel better. And look." He took my hand and pressed it flat on a small green bruise. I felt tingles shoot threw my arm. When he lifted my hand again the bruise was gone.

"Can I do that to all your wounds?" I gasped.

"No. The other ones are too severe to heal immediately. If you tried it would take all your energy. Then you would most likely go into a coma."

"Well that's nice to know." I chuckled and nudged my way under his arm.

"It's only because your human." He said simply. Maybe that's why Jenna hates me? Because I'm human. Maybe she thinks I'm weak? "Jenna? Who's that?"

"I thought you said you wouldn't loom around my head?" I scolded.

"It's kinda hard not to now. You saw some bad stuff." He shrugged shyly.

"I will be fine." Eventually. I can still see the dead eyes. I shivered.

"So what did Jenna do?" He turned back to that conversation.

"Alpha." A man bursted threw the door. "We have a report on the hunters."
