Xavier’s POV
I was pacing outside the infirmary for 45 minutes. The doctors are still in there treating my mate. I hope she is fine. Damien has yet to calm down yet.
He is still on edge. He wouldn’t rest till we know that Bella is fine. Me neither. I need to know my Bella is fine. She has to be fine.
The doctor came out and immediately I rushed to her. “How is my mate? Is she ok? Will she be ok?” I bombarded her with questions.
“Alpha calm down. The Luna is fine.” she said. That is when I released the breath that I was keeping. “she is fine. She was through so much pain that was impossible to endure since she is human.
That is why she passed out. She is taking a rest now. She does have fractured ribs which will heal soon. She also has injuries in her stomach like cuts and she was stabbed once. Hence she had lost blood.
But now she is fine as we have done blood transfusion. She won’t be able to walk for a week or two. She has to be well taken care of.” when she said finish, my blood was boiling.
I wanted to go back and rip him into pieces again. I tried to calm down for my Bella. “Can I go and see her now?” I said, daring her to say no.
“Yes you may. She is unconscious right now. She will wake up in a few minutes. After she has woken up, give her the painkillers. It will subside her pain.
Also please give her some food and water. It seems they have not fed her in a couple of days.” She said finish.
Bastards starved my mate. I gave her a nod and rushed into the infirmary where my Bella was sleeping. When I went inside, I saw my angel lying down in the bed.
She seems so peaceful. But it was the contrary. She had bandages around her stomach and her thigh. Her head also had a bandage.
The scene in front of me made me whimper. I went near her bed as I collapsed on the floor at my knees.
I grabbed her hands as I brought it near to my face. As if she sensed my touch, she relaxed. I smile at that. I caressed her cheeks with my finger tips.
I couldn’t see the sight. Her lips were bruised. Her cheeks were blue black. I got up to leave unable to see her like this. But as I turn, her hands squeezed mine
I turn back to see her waking up. Her eyes flutter open. She tried to adjust to the lighting. I crouched to her level. “Hey, love.” I said softly.
Her head slowly turned to mine. Once she saw me she smiled as tears started to flow. I grabbed her face to wipe her tears as I told her soothing words.
She soon calmed down. “How are you?” I asked her. She tried to speak but no words came out. I grabbed a glass of water and gave it to her.
After she drank and gave it to me, I placed it on the side table. “I am ok. Just having slight pain.” She said as she tried to sit up.
I quickly helped her to sit up. She smiled back at me reassuringly. We sat there in silence. Until I broke the silence.
“I thought you were gonna leave me. I was so scared.” I said as I started to tear up. I don’t care if I was crying. I was really scared she was going to leave.
Her soft hands cupped my face and made me face her. She brought me closer to her as she squirt away for me
“I will never leave you. I promise you. Not now. Not ever. I knew you would come and save me. I trust you. You are my knight in shining armour.” she said as we both laughed at the last part.
Soon she was hugging me with my head in her chest, her arms around my head as she softly combed my head to calm me. I hugged her back.
I hugged her tight to reassure myself she was here. As I hugged her a bit more tightly, she winced. That is when I realised about her injuries.
“I am so sorry. Gosh I am so stupid.” I rambled. She just chuckled at my behaviour and squeezed my hand saying she was fine.
I remembered the doctor asked me to give her medicine. I smiled knowing she was going to protest. She hates medicine.
As I stood, I went to grab her medicine. Once she saw that she protested. “I don’t want the medicine.” she said as she pouted at me. I just chuckled.
“Love, please. It will help you ease the pain.” I said as I tried to reason with her. She kept refusing. Finally after much convincing she agreed.
She started to feel tired. She moved to the side. I stared at her confused. “Come and sleep. You look tired.” She said as she patted the spot. I did not need to be told twice for that.
I laid beside her as I rested my head on her chest and hugged her as she had her chin on top of my head. We both were quite tired of talking.
Finally I have her in arms. Where she belongs. I sighed in happiness and slept.
At last.
