Avy's POV
I heard distant beeps as my heavy eyelids fought themselves to be opened slowly. The darkness began to fade as a narrow passage to light revealed itself.
Low sounds began to greet my ears "She is waking up" a woman's voice perhaps "doctor, the nurse she is up" the same voice yelled with authority, one which a high rank possesses. My ears picked up the sound of the door being opened as a male shouted, his voice laced with the same authority and urgency for a doctor.
Strangely, I thought it would be Zander but the male's voice was different not like him. Why am I bothered?
Soon after the sounds of heavy footsteps approached me. I tried opening my eyes and adjusting to bright white lights. The walls were white and so was the floor. The room was spotlessly clean. A hospital room I assume.
The surrounding felt peaceful as someone took flashed bright lights, forcing my eyes to shut. It was then realization hit me like a bus that I was in the hospital.
My memory began to jolt as I tried to recall the past incidents. The last thing I remember was running away from Zander and leaving the pack house behind. Then there was someone in the clearing. So did someone find me and I'm back from where I ran...
My blood ran cold as my heart started to beat. If I am back to Zander then he will skin me alive in front of the entire pack and then-
My thoughts broke as a pair of fingers snapped above me "Hello miss, are you feeling fine?" the one who seems like a doctor asked. He wored a blue uniform but he didn't have any statoscope hanging around his neck, maybe he is a nurse.
Well isn't it obvious?
"I think... " I said as it was the only thing that came out of my mouth. I wish I could tell him what I am feeling but how can I when I am in mixed and messed up emotion. I started to zone out a bit as I stayed still unsure of the next move.
"Um....can you tell me where I am?" I spoke with cautious as my thoughts tried to get organized in attempt to face reality.
"Well dear your are in a hospital" he spoke patiently as if I haven't guessed that part yet. Even a child will know that by the boring environment. This hospital staff is useless.
"If it is fine with you then may I ask you a few question?" He asked sternly but politely as he smiled kindly at me. I felt as if he was a demon trying to lure me in spilling my secrets which I didn't have like my dreams.
"Sure" came out as a whisper but through the scent I knew that he is a werewolf so hearing it is not a problem for our kind. I could deny but what are the odds that they are not mistaking me for a rouge since my pack bond was broken when I left.
"Ok so I'm doctor James and may I know your beautiful name" he said politely. I was confused and my wolf became cautions. 'why is he introducing' Izzy asked. I mentally rolled my eyes at her. How would I know?
"Avy" I whispered feeling a bit scared as no one has spoke to me so gently before and if they do then what comes after is not acceptable.
"Don't be afraid I am not going to hurt you" he chuckled "doctors treat their patient not hurt them you see" But will betray them for their cruel alpha so no, I am keeping my guard up on you cute doctor.
"Anyways" he continued "mind telling me how you got those cuts and bruises on your body?" hearing those words raised my heart rate again, I had a hard time controlling my breath.
What should I say now? what should I say? What should I say? I chanted. What if this is a test by Zander?
"I-I may have got them in the forest" I lied trying my best to not make it visible. He just nodded his head, stood up and left without a word. Well that's weird is my doubt actually true? Am I back to my abusive mate? What do I do now maybe... maybe try to escape now.
As I tried to sit up a familiar scent hit me but I couldn't point exactly whom it belonged to. It also seemed like the scent I caught earlier on. Then a mid-aged lady entered the room, her eyes reflected sorrow as she walked closer.
For some reasons, she did look oddly familiar..... my eyes squinted as I tried to get a closer look. As if my memory had a jolt of electricity it struck me.
"Aunt Maria " I gasped and I'm sure my eyes are as wide as saucers. She is my mom's younger sister who used to visit me before my parents died. I loved her. Tears rolled down our eyes as she looked at me with adoration.
I sat up and she quickly moved to my aid. Why was she here? Where was she all this time after my parents died? And most importantly why didn't she show up earlier?
Thousands of question where swirling in my mind. For once I was confused about my feeling whether to be happy after knowing I had a living family member or be angry on the fact that I went through the feeling of being left alone all those years also not forgetting those bully gangs though the leading has to be my mate from whom I ran away.
"Avy darling you have no idea how happy I am to have you with me finally," she said snapping me out of my thoughts. Once she made sure I was comfortable she hugged me. Her warm body felt so real as I clung to her forgetting my pain. All that mattered at this moment was that I was finally able to hug my mom, my second mom precisely. I missed her a lot. But many unanswered questions bothered me.
"How..." I stared at her not sure how to say it out "Why are you here?" my voice began to crack. Why was she here?
Why now where was she when I needed her the most? Didn't she care about me after mom and dad died.
