Chapter 10

Two days had passed now, I hadn’t left Cass’s bedside, watching her body heal, but not seeing any signs of life, my wolf was pacing up and down leaving me jittery. I held her hand, a comfort, but not nearly enough, I could hear her breathing, she has gone through so much, coming to Ireland was meant to be a healing time, ironic she was healing not from sorrow, but a beating!

The doctor came in and checked her vitals then asked me to leave, he said he needed to begin the process of bringing her round and to carry out some checks. He asked to me get Alpha Sean. Maybe he knew I needed something to do, pacing was driving me scatty, I left immediately, my mind was racing, my mantra beginning again, please, please be ok.

I found Sean and Hannah and her brother and sister John and Roisin all in the kitchen I explained what the doctor was about to do and they all immediately got up and headed towards the hospital with me. We waited outside the room, Hannah and Sean holding each other, John a look of anger on his face, Roisin looked worried.

The door opened and the doctor stepped out, his face blank, he looked at us all, then turning to Alpha Sean and spoke, “She will be OK, she is awake and all her vital statistics are good, she has healed well, she is able to tell me what happened, but she is tired and needs rest, I do not want her exhausted, so please this visit needs to be kept short. She will need to time to fully recover.”

You could hear the sigh of relief from each of us, I needed to see her, I needed to touch her, I needed to see and feel the evidence myself that she was OK. We all went into the room, she was sitting up, she looked tired but she managed a smile. Hannah and Roisin rushed over and hugged her, Hannah, just kept saying thank you for saving her life; her arms went around them, a flush creeping onto her cheeks.

Sean was next, “Cass I can’t begin to tell you how sorry I am that you were hurt, the man that did this to you will never ever do it to another person; he is gone!” Then he stroked her cheek, “Cass you saved Hannah, thank you doesn’t begin to cover how I feel, I love you Cass I couldn’t wish for a more beautiful, braver daughter, you area very special person.”

Cass looked as though she was about to say something when John moved in, “My turn for a hug, welcome back Cass, oh and I want to learn some of those NINJA moves Hannah has told us about.” That lightened the mood somewhat and everyone giggled.

She looked at me, “Cass, I am so sorry, I wasn’t there, I am so sorry you got hurt on my watch, I …”

“Jack, it wasn’t your fault, no one could have predicted what would happen you were only gone for two minutes, I am fine, Hannah is fine, and you came to the rescue.” She smiled at me, my heart and my wolf breathed a sigh of relief; she didn’t hate me.

We stayed for about 30 minutes, then her eyes started to droop it was time to leave, the others gave her a hug, I took hold of her hand, sparks shot up my arm, she looked at me confused at first, then a brief smile of recognition as she realised what the sparks were reluctantly I left with a final smile at her.

Cass’s POV

Wow, when I touched Jack I felt what can only be described as electricity coursing through my body all the way to my heart, my heart beat increased, my palms became sweaty, my head which had been hurting suddenly felt healed, in fact all my pain had gone, Jack had made me feel not just a bit better but completely better, I had gone from exhaustion to energised, I wanted to keep holding on, I wanted to feel him closer, I didn’t want him to go. What the hell just happened to me?

The doctor came back in, “Doc, I feel fine can I go home? The headache has gone, I have energy, I suddenly feel great.”

“When did this happen?”

“After Jack touched me, my dad said he is my mate.”

The doctor gave a knowing nod, “That explains everything; I’ll call your dad and ask him to collect you and bring some fresh clothes as well.”

“Thanks.” I just wanted to get home.

I wanted to paint, somehow that electricity had inspired me and I wanted to, no I needed to paint Jack.

Dad collected me, he brought some fresh clothes and we headed home, in the car he looked at me, “Cass the doctor said you feel better are you sure?”

“Dad, I’m not sure I fully understand what a mate is, and I know you said Jack was mine, all I know is that when he touched me I felt better, I felt healed, any last remnants of pain left me, and dad I know this will sound weird, but I felt electricity coursing through my body, it was amazing!”

Dad looked ahead as he drove, “Cass you have just confirmed that Jack is your mate,” and he smiled.
