Lily Pov
I didn’t understand what happened, the last thing I remember is darkness as Layla shoved me out, taking control. Then feeling cold, as if this day couldn’t be any worse, I awoke in none other than Alpha Damien’s arms. How did they get her to stop? Why did she suddenly give me back control? Nothing made sense anymore.
My body completely ruined as I looked down at the blood pooling on the tile floor, Damien had turned on the shower before glancing over at me, I pulled the towel tighter trying to cover my exposed flesh.
Damien only wore a towel around his hips, I could tell he must have shifted when Layla took over.
“Did she do that?” I asked, looking at the huge bite mark that was healing on his arm. He glanced down at it seemingly unfazed.
“No Reid did, the bite on my flank is yours though” He said, turning slightly. It was red and angry but only the outline of my bite left. I wished I healed like that; my wounds would take days to heal not like the rest of the werewolves. Sometimes it truly sucks being the freak.
“Why did Reid attack you?” I asked curiously. He dropped the towel and I quickly averted my eyes, but it was too late. I had already seen him. I heard him chuckle as he stepped under water leaving the door open. I looked at the ceiling. Anything, to not look at him completely naked in front me.
“I blocked him when he went for your neck” He said simply like it wasn’t a big deal.
“Why would you do that?” I was astonished that anyone would try to help me, usually most just attack before they’re attacked.
“I couldn’t handle watching them rip you and your wolf to pieces, so I blocked him,” He said. I looked at him confused. His green eyes watching me, while I was trying to figure out why he would risk his own life for mine. Layla could have hurt him, yet he did it anyway.
“Are you going to hop in or just sit there?” He said.
“I’ll wait,” I said looking back at the ceiling. I opened my towel slightly; I was drenched in blood and mud. My wounds had stopped bleeding but would definitely require stitches to close them till they heal. I cringed at seeing the gaping wound on my hip, the skin barely hanging on. I shifted trying to get a better look at it and it started spilling out with blood. I put pressure on it to stem the bleeding.
“You don’t heal very well” He stated, and I looked up and he was looking at the bite mark on my hip. I quickly shut the towel.
“Jesus do you mind?” I said embarrassed that he just got a glimpse of my lady parts. He raised an eyebrow before stepping out of the shower and wrapping a towel around himself.
“Seriously, what’s your problem?” I asked.
“My problem? If anyone has a problem it’s you. Just get in the shower so we can tend to your wounds” He said angrily.
I stood up but he hadn’t moved. “Can you get out then?” I said, I was not willing to drop the towel in front of him.
“You just saw me completely naked and you’re worried about me seeing you” He said before walking out and closing the door. I dropped the towel and hopped under the water. The floor turned a dark shade of red. My cuts burn and are throbbing as I wash soap over my skin. I quickly rinsed the soap off before stepping out and grabbing the towel, my muscles aching straight away from the loss of warmth the shower provided.
At least I was clean. I opened the door, and on the bed was one of Damien’s shirts. I quickly walked over and dried myself before pulling the shirt over my head just as Alpha Damien walked in with a first aid kit. I went to take it from him when he glared at me.
“Sit” He said through gritted teeth when I growled at him.
“I can do it myself,” I said, snatching the first aid kit from his hand. He snatched it back off me before shoving me backwards making me drop onto the edge of the bed. I quickly pulled his shirt down trying to cover myself before he could see anything.
“You can be such a brat sometimes, just sit and shut up” He said lifting the edge of his shirt up, I slapped his hand away and he growled at me, so did Layla.
“Will you stop, I am just trying to help you for God’s sake. Stop being a bitch” He said pinching the bridge of his nose frustrated.
“I don’t need your help; you just need to leave me alone” I told him.
“Well, that won’t be happening, it’s either I do it or I get your father in here. Choose Lily” I cringed no girl wants their father seeing them naked. I sat quietly.
“Like I thought” He muttered before lifting the shirt exposing me to him. Opening the bag, he grabbed out a surgical stapler.
He pushed my legs apart stapling the inside of my thigh closing the wound, his eyes never drifting from the task at hand. When he was done, he moved to my hip and stapled the skin closed. I flinched hearing the click every time. It wasn’t very painful, it just didn’t sound too pleasant. He pulled the shirt back down before grabbing some gauze and saline before pulling the neck of his shirt down and cleaning the bite mark that was on my neck and shoulder. When he was done, he walked over to his bag and pulled out some track pants before tossing them to me. I quickly stood and slipped them on. I went to walk out when he stopped me.
“You’re staying here tonight, so don’t even think about leaving”
“Excuse me, no I am not”
“Yes, you are. I already spoke to your father and Aria agreed. Tonight, you’re staying here so we can make sure I don’t have to drag you home tonight” He growled before walking over and locking the door and pocketing the key.
“Like fuck I am. I am not staying with you” I spat back at him. I mind linked my father.
“What are you playing at dad? I am not staying here”
I heard him groan annoyed. “Yes, tonight you’re staying with Damien in case your wolf goes berserk again, don’t argue with me Lily after the damage you have caused. Your wolf is calmer around him. Who do you think got you to shift back” I was shocked by his words? What did he mean? I had a feeling there was something they weren’t telling me. I felt Layla go quiet and I knew she was also hiding something.
