Ashley's POV
Once I got downstairs the nurses hooked me up and I'am now currently sitting on the recliner in the lounge room. Alp- I mean Alistair soon joins me in the lounge room in his wolf form.
He nuzzles my legs and lays down in front of me. For the remainder of the day we just watch Seinfeld, well Alistair watched, I vomited mostly. Oh my god I can't wait till all of this is over!
~~~
It is now night time and I'am currently in my bed tossing and turning, whimpering and groaning nonstop from the aching pain I have all over my body. Fuck chemo.
I'am laying on my right side on the right side of my bed staring at my lamp that is currently turned off, when I feel a hand touch my arm. I jump from the contact and turn over to see the owner of the hand that touched me.
It was Cyrus, he was looking at me with a sad expression. I must have not heard him shift when I was in my own little world of pain.
"Are you okay baby?" He asks, whispering to me.
I shake my head and tears form in my eyes.
"Come here." He says sliding into the bed next to me. I cuddle up beside him and lay my head on his chest while he runs his fingertips up and down my arm that is currently wrapped around his torso.
I don't care how mad I'am at him or how weirded out that he's a stranger. All I care about right now is being comforted. I need this cuddle. I need cuddles.
After being in silence for awhile, I begin to ask him questions. I need to know why he thinks I'm his soulmate.
"Um Cyrus?" I whimper, looking up at him.
"Yes babygirl?" He coos, looking down at me.
"Why do you think we are soulmates?" I ask.
He sighs. "Babygirl, I don't think, I know we are soulmates." He affirmed. "Every werewolf has a mate (soulmate) and we know when we meet them. We know by touch, smell and sight." He stated.
"Werewolves were created by the Moon Goddess Selene. She is the one that does the pairing of mates. She pairs each werewolf with someone that completes and suits them in every way."
"What do you mean you know by touch, smell and sight?" I ask, genuinely curious.
"What I mean is, that when we touch, the contact we make, sets off sparks. By smell I mean is that when we smell our mates, our mates elicit the most intoxicating scent that instantly draws us to you. Now sight, well when we look into the eyes of our mates, every thing snaps into place and our wolf tells us it's our mate."
"Wow." I blurt out. That's a lot.
"Soooo, does that mean I'am forced to love you?" I ask.
"Wha- no of course not." He replies. "The mate bond just makes us notice you but the whole feelings towards each other thing is our own doing."
"Oh okay, well that's a relief." I reply.
"Now what a Alpha is-" he starts.
"I know what an Alpha is and a Beta and also other ranks." I cut him off. He gives me a confused look wondering how the hell I know about werewolf ranks.
"Excuse me, I know because I read." I explain. "There are shit loads of werewolf stories on wattpad that I have read."
"Fuck." He says."Maybe some humans know about us."
"Maybe." I say. "But who knows to be honest."
"Well uh thank you for telling me." I thank him. "I'd rather be in the know then not, ya know?"
"Haha yes I understand." He chuckles at me. "And your welcome."
I chuckle back and made myself comfortable against him once again and drifted off into a deep sleep.
