Her Badass Mate

A Day In The Hospital

"Ow!" Damien groaned, rubbing the back of his head, the exact spot Jesse had just smacked. Glaring at his younger brother, Jesse crossed his arms over his chest before nodding his head at the bowl of soup.

"Eat the damn soup." Jesse growled. Damien groaned louder and slouched in his seat.

"It's disgusting! It's not even going to fill me up." He grumbled.

"The nurse said you have to eat this for a while, Damien." Wes commented, frowning slightly.

"Can't I just have KFC or something?"

"No. Now shut up and eat it." Dazz said, walking into the room. Jared followed close behind him and behind him was Jeana. Damien muttered something and began to eat - well drink really - the soup.

I stood up and waited until Dazz was standing in front of me before raising an eyebrow.

"So, what's happening?" I asked. Surprisingly, he side stepped me and went to stand beside Jesse and began to talk to him. Feeling the strange and random rejection, I frowned but it immediately disappeared as Jeana stood in front of me, a large grin on her face.

"Hey." She greeted, giving me a wave. I stared at her grin, wondering whether or not Dazz had told her that Sione was the cause for her father’s death. She looked way to happy to have known so I figured she didn't know.

"Hey, how are you?" I replied, giving her a polite smile. She shrugged but pointed a finger behind me.

"I'm alright. Just a little confused as to why Lil Wayne’s older brother dragged me here."

I glanced behind me and chuckled as I realised she was talking about Dazz who, I just noticed, had very similar dreads to Lil Wayne. He didn't seem to notice but Damien frowned as he stared at us.

"Don't you want to see if your favourite cousin is alright?" He asked, fake sadness heard clearly in his voice. Jeana scoffed as she passed me and stood beside Damien.

"If that lion couldn't kill you when you were a kid, I doubt some Alpha could."

Damien rubbed the back of his neck as he let out a shaky chuckle. "You just had to bring that up, didn't you?"

Interested in the topic, I was about to ask about it but Dazz cleared his throat, silencing all of us. I crossed my arms and looked at him, just like everyone else in the room except I was expecting him to look at me - which he didn't.

"I've decided to wage a war with Sione." He said, making Damien fist pump with excitement. After a death glare from Jesse, Damien lifted his spoon up and began to drink his soup again.

"Would you like me to notify all Alphas, Alpha?" Jared asked, reminding me of his presence.

"Yes. Make sure you apologize for my rude leaving, first. I need every help I can get."

With a nod and bow, Jared left the room.

"Sweet, we're kicking butt once again!" Damien yelled excitedly, throwing his hands in the air. He cringed slightly but kept them there regardless.

"Last I checked, it was your butt that got kicked." Jeana said, a playful smirk playing on her lips. Damien left one hand up and with the other, he pointed it at his cousin, his eyes narrowed.

"You lose some, you win some." He said, bringing his hands down. Once they were down, he turned to his brothers. "Give me five minutes to change."

"No." Dazz said, freezing Damien in the spot. "You'll stay here with Izzy and Jeana. I'll have warriors surround and protect the hospital."
