Ahgony sat next to Mariah hour after hour, day after day as her body slowly healed from the surgery.
Rhage and Mary were right there with him, equally exhausted. None of them had slept very much lately. They didn’t speak much, had nothing to say really, as they all just waited for her to wake up. God, when she woke up… someone had to tell her…
It killed him to know that she had carried a little piece of him inside her, for as little time as she had. Having that inside her, was what had almost killed her. No matter how many times Blax told him it wasn’t his fault, he felt horrified.
- Would you still mate her?
Mary’s soft question startled him.
- What?
- Knowing she can’t… you know.
- Of course. It doesn’t change anything for me. She’s still my everything.
Both Rhage and Mary nodded approvingly and as he looked into Rhage’s blue eyes, he couldn’t help but feel that there was something monumental about to happen.
Blaxton walked in then, to check up on his patient.
Ahgony had to say, the guy was a straight up male of worth.
He had been staying in the tunnel, refusing to leave his sister’s side, and not being allowed in the mansion unsupervised. Which was ridiculous. But the male hadn’t complained. Nope, he had simply stated he would stay in the hall, on one of the cots that was there. Which he had done.
He had also been caring for them, ordering food, when they couldn’t be bothered, ordering them to sleep, and making sure they were comfortable.
He was always up and about, either talking to Jane or Manny, or spending time with Ehlena getting to know the facilities. The best thing was that he was extremely respectful and genuine. Just like Mariah.
- No change yet?
He approached the bed, to do his checkups. He checked the charts of the machines she was hooked up with and her pupils.
- Come on sis, what are you waiting for?
He muttered almost to himself as he lifted the sheets to check on her stiches.
Blax looked at Ahgony.
- Have you been feeding her?
- A few drops every hour, like you said.
Blax nodded.
- That’s all you should give her for now until she wakes up properly and can feed on her own. She should wake any minute now and she needs all of you to be here for her.
- All of us.
He smiled at Mary, nodding.
- All of us.
Because yeah, the male had proven himself worthy. And then some.
- Well, I’ll come back in a bit and I’m going to get Fritz to get you some…
He paused as he looked at the bed and smiled, making all of them look at Mariah as her eyes fluttered open.
- Well hello, sister mine.
Mariah looked at Blax, then at her parents and finally at Ahgony.
- Hi.
Her fangs shot out of her mouth and she blushed as Blaxton chuckled.
- Told you she’d want to feed.
Mary got up and kissed her forehead.
- Are you ok?
