Unlocked

KILLIAN’S POV
I didn’t remember much from what happened before I got to the hospital.
I had felt someone by my side throughout the period when I was unconscious, taking care of me, humming to themselves. Always quiet and caring. It was all a bit weird, I knew I was unconscious, and I knew I had to wake up, I just didn’t seem to have enough strength to do so.
I could feel people around me and I could vaguely hear what was going on around, like conversations and monitor beeps and footsteps. My wolf could detect people’s presence but it just couldn’t jolt me up.
I tried everyday for what seemed like eternity but I couldn’t, so I did the only thing I could;
Wait.
The time spent waiting gave me an avenue to think, to go through everything that had happened over and over again, to spend time with myself and try to see something I hadn’t been able to before.
I had tried to replay the events of the fight in my head but most of the time, it was all blurry and unclear. My own thoughts and memories were hazy. For some reason, I kept revisiting my childhood. When I moved to stay with Aunt Lily. That was a very long time ago and it wasn’t related in any way to the things going on at present but I just kept going back there.
The meadow by the far side, the lake that was always warm because of sunlight, the garden of dandelions, the training ground where I learned how to hold a sword… I had been at peace here. Maybe the only thing I could hold on to was peace?
After a few days, some parts of my memory from the fight started to get clearer. I remembered knowing that at that moment in time, all the witch wanted was to kill Cillian for what he had just done. I knew I had to do something and without thinking, I pushed him out of the way just as she sent that blast his way.
I remembered the hit, it was the most pain I had ever felt. I remembered that necklace shining so bright that it burnt a part of my clothes just before it broke into two and lost its power. And then I remembered darkness. The same darkness that I saw for the remaining period of my unconsciousness.
The impact of that hit was like cold iron piercing the heart. I knew it would kill me but my body and my wolf kept fighting. My wolf just wouldn’t give up. And instead of dying on the spot, I was driven into a coma by my elements.
My body slowed down every single reaction so that I would not die. It was a defense mechanism to stay alive when a wolf was poisoned. My heart stopped beating momentarily, blood flow cut, everything reduced to the smallest units just so that I would survive for another minute before anything drastic happened.
When my heart began to beat again, I knew it had required extreme external force because of the amount of kick I got before it. When it happened, I was already expecting to be dead.
I guess the most frustrating thing was healing. My wounds healed so slowly. Wounds that took seconds to heal were taking what felt like weeks to even complete the first cycle of healing. It was bad, I knew. But it was slightly better than being dead.
Everyday at a particular time, someone came and took care of all my wounds. It happened regularly. It was the same person, a woman. It jolted my wolf for some reason to be close to her. She did everything herself in the most gentle way possible.
Though the process of healing was painfully slow, I could feel myself getting stronger. My wolf was beginning to respond and interact again.
On the last day, something very strange happened. At first it was the usual routine, the lady would come and then dress up my wounds and hum to herself but this time, when she walked in, my wolf reacted immediately, sensing her. It was excited again for some reason.
I had not felt like that in many years. When she started caring for my wounds, my wolf got more excited with every touch. It was a strange feeling in my chest, uncontrollable in fact.
Even when she was done, the feeling persisted. The tempo increased and increased till it felt like my chest was going to pop.
Mate.
My eyes flew open and I saw Rosalind seated beside me on the hospital bed.
She hugged me passionately when she saw me awake. I wasn’t expecting it. My wounds did not hurt as much as before so I didn’t mind. She had been the person taking care of me all this while. She was waiting for me to wake up. She was so relieved, I felt it in her body. I also felt other things.
I was still a bit dazed from how I had regained consciousness but I didn’t want to think too much about that now. I inhaled the scent of her hair, everything about her smelled delicious today. I tugged on her hair and a moan escaped her lips.
We stared at each other for a second, without a word. Her weight was on my hardness and I could smell her arousal wet and hot. I grabbed her neck and pulled her into a passionate kiss. She moaned in her throat and sucked my tongue into her mouth. She burned for me, she wanted me and I wanted her.
The ward door opened and a nurse walked in.
She was a bit taken aback by Rosalind and I.
“My prince… you are awake.” She was flustered to see us in that position.
“Umm, how do you feel? Let me just do some check ups to know…”
“Leave. You can do that later.” I said.
It was obvious that she was already uncomfortable to be in that position. I just made it easier for her.
“It is almost time for you to eat and take medication, my prince.” She said in an unsteady voice.
“Close the door when you leave, love.” I winked.
She gulped. Bowed to both of us and quickly left the ward. She was happy to see her prince wake up but she was obviously disturbed by the heated atmosphere inside.
I faced Rosalind.
She uncovered the bandages on my body and made a face.
“The healing process must have quickened greatly now that you are awake. This was fresh yesterday, now it is almost completely healed. That is good.” She said, checking the rest of the bruises which were all already or almost healed.
“Do you work as a nurse now?” The way she acted was a little amusing.
“Maybe I should send you out like your colleague.” –
“She just wanted to make sure you were stable.” She said with a fake pouting expression.
“She should know that I haven’t seen my fiance in a long time and I must be very… excited.” I said, grabbing her. She chuckled warmly and melted in my arms.
“You wanted me even when I was in that state. I felt your hunger.” I said, looking her in the eye.
I saw the surprise in her expression, she wasn’t expecting that. But it was true, the redness of her face said it all. But I didn’t intend to dwell much on the topic. The nurse had probably gone to inform the rest of the staff and possibly the council that I was awake again. I did not have much time to spare.
I pulled Rosalind’s chin closer and closed the gap between our lips. She bit my lip out of excitement and opened her eyes to apologize but I pinned her to my thighs and grabbed her breasts. She moaned in her throat when I touched her. She had longed for this, she wanted it.
I tore away from our lip lock and devoured her nipples, sucking on them with my lips and encircling the dark area with my tongue. She quivered in my arms, spasms of excitement running through her body.
She dug her fingers into my hair, messing it up passionately. Her sounds made me rock hard. I bit her nipple and she yelped. It was a mixture of pain and pleasure. I bit the tip of it lightly and tugged at it with my teeth. She moaned more and grabbed my head.
“The door… The door is unlocked, Kylian.” She said amidst pants.
“That makes it even more exciting.”
“Anybody can just walk in and see us like… this.” She said looking at her bare puckered breasts.
I looked around and kicked the bedside stool towards the door. It slides and hooked under the handle.
“There. Now nobody can enter without us knowing first. Does that put you at ease, my princess?” I smirked.
I made her lay on her back and I mounted, kissing her lips, neck, nipples, belly button. The belly was very sensitive and she jerked whenever my tongue made contact. I kissed it and went down on her, kissing her shaved mold and then sliding my tongue in. She whimpered at this and instinctively wrapped her thighs around my head.
I worked my way down there till she climaxed on my face, gasping heavily when I made her come.
She took me by surprise when she suddenly sat up and laid me back on the bed. She went straight for my pants and pulled them down.
The full length of my hardness wobbled in her face and she stared at it with marvel in her eyes.
“It’s my turn to be in control.” She smiled at me and gobbled it whole in her wet mouth.
Holy fuck.
