Damon's POV
She laid there hooked to monitors. They told me shouldn't be long before she wakes. Until she does, I will not rest. I don't know what to say or do when she wakes. I don't want to scare her. An older lady knocked and came in. "Oh, I am sorry Alpha sir I came to check on my daughter well my adopted daughter but mine all in the same." She smiled a warm smile I nodded at her. "Ma'am, can you tell me why this pack is so afraid why they would allow that Alpha to do what he did?" I asked as soft as possible I did not wish to scare her. "It is the law to be honest I hate him, but he is my Alpha I am just scared for when his daughter finds her mate, she will be worse than him." She said dread filling her voice.
I knew right then if my mate did not reject me, I was bringing her mother with us. I think she would like that. "Ma'am when your daughter wakes if she doesn't reject me, I would like to come with us if you will." I said gently "Oh Alpha she will not reject you and I would like that. Just so you know she's been betrayed in the worst ways you can imagine she's dealing with a lot be gentle, and patient. Just so you know she is independent, hardheaded, stubborn but mostly lonely she needs you more than she would let anyone, or you ever know." She kissed her daughter's forehead and left. What they don't know I need her more than I could explain.
I began to doze off while others thought I was fully asleep. I heard Drake and Karlee come in. "Karlee I am sorry she is in here I should have done more." I heard Drake sigh. "No baby this is not your fault, it is that stupid Alpha ugh no offense I wish Damon would have ripped his head off I world of used it as a football." I tried to hold my laughter I wonder if Aryah is as feisty. I heard them exit but no footsteps.
"If it isn't the little bitch number 2." Oh, goddess that's Shelly. Why me why her? "Listen Shelly if you go near her, I will rip your fake hair out and strangle you with it." Go Karlee I like her, and Assassin does too he finds her funny when she's mad. Then I heard the most awful words to be said. "I hope she dies then I don't need to show Damon what he's missing I will have him as my mate," Shelly growled at Karlee. That was it I heard enough.
I ripped the door open letting my anger roll off me making Shelly submit. "If I hear one more word out of you about mating me or one word about my mate, I will make sure you are strung up and tortured for the rest of your life. If you come near me, I will allow my wolf to tear you to shreds." She sunk down in fear I did not care she needed to get the message. Out of nowhere, I heard the most beautiful voice. "Get these wires off me right now or I will start slashing everything in sight." She must not like hospitals. With that, I realized I had my hands full I jinxed myself.
ARYAH POV
"Someone get these things off me or so help me I will start slashing." I was in a full-blown panic all the memories of last night flooding my memory. Oh God I have a mate, I don't know what he looks like is he going to reject t me I mean I am an omega. Karlee rushed to the room. "Ry your awake thank the moon goddess." She engulfed me in a hug. "Karlee please don't make me blackout again I can't deal." She giggled.
Oh, crap I forgot. "You met your mate how is he? Is he nice to you I swear I will whip his ass if he hurts you, I don't care if he is a Beta and like 6'3" I will pound them."? I made sure to speak with certainty. "Aryah ok gal turns it down I need my gal pal, not my bodyguard. He is so amazing, trust me you will like him. By the way, sis you have a mate he's outside." My lungs felt the air leave them, Ali jumping in my head her mate is here Oh no. "Kar I can't I am an omega what if no I can't he is going to reject me." As I panicked at her my fear, I smelt that cinnamon and vanilla once again making my heart flutter. Then I heard the sexiest voice. "Why would I reject you?"
His voice held sadness I was frozen. Karlee left us by ourselves. I wasn't scared of him I was scared of losing him. That's funny I didn't even know him I couldn't face him. Then I felt the sparks in my shoulders. He turned me to face him, but I kept my head hung low. He took his finger under my chin and raised my face toward his. My goddess, he's beautiful his eyes took my breath. "Listen here little mate I don't care if you are Alpha, Beta, or omega. You are my mate, and I will not reject my soulmate." He kissed my forehead and turned and walked out.
I was alone in the room missing his touch already I got dressed in the clothes mama brought for me my favorite black leggings my sports bra and a white tank top. I knew I would be leaving with him if we were going through with the mate bond, I don't even know his name. Oh lord, what kind of mate am I. I promised Ali I would give this a chance and she won't shut up about his wolf. I began my walk home feeling the wind in my hair sun on my face goddess I love the outdoors. I reach home seeing a big black SUVoutside my home mate must be here because we can smell that intoxicating scent. I take a breath and prepare myself for what is behind the door.
