I sat in the stark white hospital room, my earpods in one ear, music on my playlist playing quietly as I scrolled through social media, while occasionally glancing at Lilah to see if she was ok., This was now day 5 of her being unconscious after she was found in the forest. I had done a shift of sitting with her each of those days to help her family, as had Indie, Indie’s Aunt who I know Lilah is close with, Stu had sat with her too, and obviously her parents., From what Indie had told me Logan had tried to convince Alpha Grayson he should return from his Alpha training to come and be with her but he was flat out refused which I imagine did not go down well., Couldn’t happen to a nicer dude… well not lately anyway. He seems to have changed… I dread him taking over as Alpha to be honest, at least his Dad,while strict, is decent and fair, I can’t see Logan being a good Alpha. But I would never share that view with anyone, though I doubt I’m the only person with that opinion…., I looked to Lilah, her long hair is braided into a long plait today, I’m guessing her mum must have done that when she was here earlier. She looks so small and vulnerable laid on the bed. Her skin still looks so pale, but thankfully her full lips now have some colour to them, as on the first few days they had an almost other worldly blue shade to them which was concerning. Now they were a healthier pinky red., The Dr had said they thought they should have flushed most of the wolfsbane from her system now by using the IV fluids, but they thought she was still unconscious because her body needed to rest to recover from the damage it had done., I truly hope it has done no long term damage to her… she is beautiful bless her…. She deserves a better life than everything that has happened so far…. I hope her mate when she finds him is a good one who can take her away from here, away from Logan and the mess he is creating…., “Dey?” I hear a faint voice, and look down to see Lilah’s beautiful big aqua blue eyes looking up at me., “Hey you” I smile down to her “you gave us a scare! Let me get a dr” I quickly stand and rush to the door., “Doc!! She’s awake!!” I shout as I open the door. My heart racing, not quite believing she was finally awake. I just hope she would be ok., The doctor quickly rushed from the nursing station down the corridor toward her room. And begins to check Lilah over. I should let her family know….., BETA, MRS PATTERSON, LILAH WOKE UP! I link them. I can imagine they will be here as quickly as they can be., “Dey? Sit with me?” I hear Lilah stutter. So I walk back to her. I have been a crappy friend for the last few months, I need to correct that…, “What’s up?” I smile at her., “Thank you for being a good friend. Dr said you and Stu as well as Indie and my family have been sitting with me” she says to me, BUT YOU DON’T NEED TO STAY she suddenly links obviously not wanting the dr to hear what she needed to say. The wolfsbane must definitely be out of her system if she could now mindlink too. DON’T PUT YOUR WARRIOR ROLE AT RISK BECAUSE OF ME DEY, I DON’T WANT THAT. YOU SAVED MY LIFE, AND YOU HAVE BEEN THERE FOR ME SO MANY TIMES, YOU HAVE BEEN A GREAT FRIEND. GO NOW AND DO YOU, FOR ME…, I look to her, I see tears in her eyes, she can’t mean that? I don’t want to stop being her friend… Stu wouldn’t either, nor the others…. Nearly losing her only enhanced how much we love her as a friend., SHUT UP YOU. I’M ALREADY A WARRIOR NOW. FULLY FLEDGED. HIS DAD WOULD HABE TO KICK ME OFF THE TEAM, LOGAN CAN’T UNTIL HE IS ALPHA. HOPEFULLY BY THEN HE MAY BE OVER YOU…. I grin as I link her back. I see her roll her eyes as her Mum and Dad rush into the room., “Lilah!! You’re awake sweetheart!! Five days you have been snoozing! I know you like a nap but wow!” Beta Trent jokes with his daughter. And I can’t help but smile, it’s clear how much he loves her. They must be so relieved to see her awake., “Well you know, anything to get out of work…” she grins back at her Dad, I see her sense of humour is still as good. I have missed her. But from her mindlink I have a feeling she won’t be seeing much of me to make sure she doesn’t cause any problems for me or the guys after I told her what Logan had threatened., “What happened sweetheart? Can you remember? We found you in the forest, passed out, the drs said it was a wolfsbane overdose? They thought it was maybe rogues?” Beta Trent didn’t waste time in questioning Lilah, but I saw a puzzled look crossing her face. Like she was deep in thought….., Search the website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
