âRelease herâ Annabelle demanded as she gestured to me on the floor again.
âUmm Luna?â The guard said the same time as Jax said ârelease her? Are you serious!â
âYes Jax I am deadly serious... look... I have a good feeling about her okay?â
That must have meant something to the two guys as they both looked at each other, probably having one of their stupid silent pack talks, before looking back at Annabelle.
âYour sure?â Jax pressed, still looking unconvinced.
Annabelle just sighed as she crossed her arms and popped her hip âwhen have I ever been wrong Jax, just trust me on this okay? You know I wouldnât put our pack or our family in danger so why would I suggest it if I wasnât sure.â
Jax stared at his Mate for a second before sighing and looking over to the guard ârelease herâ.
I stared open mouthed at the girl, how the hell did she just convince an Alpha and a warrior to release a rouge she didnât even know?
The guard made his was over to me and I shrunk away slightly before realising he was just coming over to release the cuffs on my wrists. I sighed as the silver dropped from my skin and brought my wrists round to inspect the damage. They were red and slightly blotchy when my skin has started to blister from the burns but over all they didnât seem too bad, I had definitely had worse.
I looked up when I saw movement out of the corner of my eye and saw Annabelle slowly making her way towards me, shaking off her mates hand on her elbow as he tried to hold her back.
âHi my name is Annabelle, but you can call me Anna if youâd prefer, are you doing okay?â
She was talking to me as if I was a wild scared animal and I couldnât help but smile. âYeah Iâm goodâ I shrugged as I pushed myself onto my good leg, using the wall behind me for support. âNothing a bit of time wonât heal.â I smiled at the trio as they all took me in, Anna with a smile on her face and Jax and the guard with apprehension.
Anna nodded before taking my hand in hers causing Jax to shift uncomfortably. âThatâs good, Iâm glad my big bad mate over there didnât hurt you to muchâ she laughed as she rolled her eyes.
I smiled again, a little bit easier now that the silver was off and my body could start to combat the swelling on my cheek. âNahh theyâre alright, besides it wasnât even them that did thisâ I said, gesturing to my leg, âI was in the middle of fighting some rogues when someone came and helped me out.â
âOh... well Iâm glad someone helped you outâ she smiled at me as she lifted my arm over her shoulder, helping me hop out of the cell and back up the stairs.
âUmm Annabelle where are you taking her? The pack hospital is that wayâ Jax suddenly stated as he blocked out path and pointed to something behind us.
âI know where the hospital is Jaxâ Anna said as she rolled her eyes at him âbut thatâs not where Iâm taking her, she needs a proper meal in her and a chance to rest. I know what the food is like in there and as much as youâd like to say otherwise patient food in there sucks.â
I laughed as Anna made a face at the mere thought of having to eat hospital food.
Jax frowned as he dropped his hand back to his side âthen where are you taking her?â
âHome silly, Iâm making enough food to feed an army in there, one more wont hurt. Besides, Iâve already mind linked Dr Tessler and shes on her way and meeting us at ours so that she can have a look at her leg... Iâm sorry what was your name again?â she asked me.
I smiled as I watched the show down, I was officially in love with this girl. âBlaineâ I said as I tried to shift slightly on my good leg, making sure I didnât lose balance and take out both me and the girl next to me that couldnât be more than 5â²4.
Anna nodded before she looked back at her mate with determination. âBlaine is coming back to ours and thatâs the end of it. Now are you going to give me a hand getting her there or are you just going to stand there and sulk?â
I held back a laughed as I watched the big bad Alpha grumble before taking my other arm around his shoulder and helping me to their house. The height difference between the two made it a little awkward but we made it work.
It didnât take us to long to get back to their house as after a few minutes of me hobbling along a huge house came into view surrounded by trees and floral scented flowers, now this was the house of an Alpha. It puts my little homemade den to shame I can tell you that.
As we walked in the first thing that hit me was the smell of roast beef as it slow cooked in the oven. My mouth started to water at the idea of what it would taste like. It had been so long since I had eaten a good meal, usually I just hunted what I could find in my wolf form. It didnât taste particularly nice but it did the job it needed to.
It wasnât long before a woman turned up with a leather bag clutched in her hand as she made her way over to me. I sat comfortably on the sofa after Annabelle had given me a pair of shorts to wear underneath the borrowed top I was given as the woman, whom Iâm guessing is the doctor, quickly assessed my injuries.
I hissed as she carefully took my injured ankle in her hands and started to twist it to see how much movement I had in it.
âNothing broken which is good, but your ankle is badly sprained. Your wolf should heal it fairly quickly but youâll be walking with a limp for the next day or two, try and stay off it as much as you can okay? As for these gashes on your thigh Iâm afraid Iâm going to have to stitch them up if you want to minimise the scaring, they will heal on their own though if youâd prefer I leave itâ.
I shook my head as I gripped the edge of the sofa, preparing myself âstitch it up doc, the last thing Iâm wanting is a leg that looks like something out of a special FX horror movieâ.
The doctor smiled at me before leaning down and getting everything out of her bag that she needed. âAlright, hold still thenâ.
Seventeen stitches and a lot of grunts in pain from me later the doc was finally finished as she snapped her bag shut and stood up. âTake it easy alright and if you have any problems donât hesitate to get someone to link me okay?â
I nodded as I shifted into a more comfortable position on the sofa âsure doc, thanks a lotâ.
Just then the front door banged open as someone let themselves in, someone Iâd hoped I wouldnât have to see again.
âAnna you are never going to believe who I ran into on my run just nowâ.
Just perfect, my mate was here.
Soo? Iâm loving writing from Blaineâs POV, sheâs so sassy ð
