My pelvic region hurts, and it takes everything in me not to scream when I wake up in Reed's office on the couch. I couldn't sit without it hurting, couldn't stand or walk. I felt weak and had to crawl into a corner to hide when I heard footsteps coming up the stairs. I heard Reed's growl and Jena's name and knew something was wrong. A moment later, someone slammed the door to the house, and I heard the office unlock.
The door opened, then closed. I hugged my knees to my chest and waited for the bleach-blonde hair, cruel electric blue eyes, and large hands to appear. But instead, it was my mate with something in his hand that was steaming. He caught sight of me and set the item down on his desk then came over slowly. I looked up at him, feeling relief flood my senses.
"Simone," he whispered, kneeling in front of me. "Can you come here, please?"
"I-It hurts," I whimpered.
He gives me a sad smile and crawls over so we're touching. "How did you get over here?"
"C-c-crawled."
