I laid on the couch, the coldness from the fabric cooled my skin then blended in with the warmth of my body. Laying on my back I stared at the ceiling the events of today finally taking it's turn to beat it onto the list of my tramas and experiences that I wouldn't wish even on the people I hate.
My body lightly shook as tears filled my eyes, covering my mouth I cried silently thankful Quinn had step out to talk the pack warriors. My whole body screamed at me, wanting to tear open it's skin and scream until I couldn't no more. To some may take any new negative acts, as any normal person should, but since my mind doesn't take new traumatic experiences well, it reacts differently.
Once my tears dried, I just lay there not saying a word or moving, the tears embedded into my skin. I try to reach out for Hanna but not getting any movement or response from her, like she wasn't there.
I mind link the pack doctor and she shows up after five minutes knocking on the door, with weak legs I walked to the door and opened it letting the pack doctor inside "hi Luna" she said as I let her inside and closed the door behind her "hi" I say sitting on the couch as she sets her bag down on the island. "So what can I do for you Luna?" She asked standing in front of me. "I can't get ahold of my wolf Hanna, I can't feel any movement or response from her" I said worrying that she was no longer there.
I watched as she sat down on the couch beside me, facing me "this is completely normal when there is Wolfsbane in your system, it will take a few hours at most for it to be pushed out of your system, Wolfsbane is used to keep werewolf's weak and keeping them from shifting, think as it as when your watching a movie, but the DVD is scratched up and freezing not playing past that point, you try to clean it, skip and play it to trick the system but it may not work sometimes due to the amount of scratches on the disk so you wait and it finally plays, do you understand?" She explained trying to out it in words that would easily be understood.
"I understand" I nod as she smiled, getting up and grabbing something from her bag "here this is to help with the side effects from the Wolfsbane, it will be enough until it's out of your system" the pack doctor handed me a pill bottle with ten pills in it "take one every three hours, make sure you don't have a empty stomach before you take them, it will help a lot" she Said.
"Thank you" I said holding the bottle in my hand.
"It's not a problem" she chuckled spacing out then grabbed her bag "if this is all I will head back to the pack house, got a female who just went into labor, have a good day" she nodded in respect.
I shake my head walking her to the door "no that's all, have a good day as well" I say as the door opened and Quinn walked back inside, he looks at me then the pack doctor with a worried look on his face "are you okay? Are you not feeling well?" Quinn said rushing to me and feeling my forehead, I grabbed his hand as the doctor excused herself and rushed back to the pack house leaving me and Quinn alone. "I'm okay, I just couldn't feel my wolf and I was concerned, but she also gave me medication to help get the rest of the Wolfsbane gone" I said looking up at him and showed him the bottle rattling it a little in between my fingers.
Quinn nodded in understanding but sympathy to the situation, a frown formed on his face and he pulled me into his arms "I am so sorry I wasn't there to protect you, I won't let it happen again I swear" Quinn said breathing in my scent as it calmed his wolf. I grip his shirt at the thought of it "it wasn't your fault and we didn't know this was gonna happen" I say to calm him and myself. Quinn pulled himself from from me and turns to the kitchen "are you hungry?" He asked opening the fridge, at the question my stomach makes sounds and Quinn laughed "I'll take that as a yes".
Looking at the clock on the wall I realized how late it is "it's already 5 o'clock?" I say in disbelief, sitting on the stool I watch Quinn pull food from the fridge and freezer, setting them on the counter "it is" Quinn confirmed looking at the time as well. "so what's for dinner?" I asked leaning forward on the couch and setting the pill bottle in the middle of the counter "lasagna with bread sticks" he replied my mouth water at the thought of lasagna, it's my favorite food.
"That sounds good" I say as he sets the stove to let it preheat and takes the food out of its boxes and onto a pan.
Quinn walks over to me on the opposite side of the counter and places a kiss lightly on my lips before turning back to the food leaving me starstruck, my hand moved to the tingling sensation on my lips, like his lips were still on mine. The front door bursted open to reveal a regretful look Stella who ran to me and pulled me into her arms, Quinn growled at the sudden intrusion before noticing its Stella "please knock next time Stella, last I heard this is my house" he said before turning back to the food.
"I am so sorry Ashlee! It's all my fault if I didn't give you the water you wouldn't of gotten poisoned" Stella sobbed ignoring Quinn's outburst. "It's okay, it wasn't your fault you didn't put the Wolfsbane in my drink" I said resuring Stella who was crying.
"I know but it felt like my fault for not noticing when I was supposed to be able to protect you if needed" Stella said letting me go and sat on the stool "but it wasn't" I repeated looking at her, she laid her head on the counter and stayed like that for a few moments.
"Is that lasagna?" Stella perked up and I burst out laughing.
