    Chapter Eighty-One


    Ryley


    Great, I thought as I heard the excessive beeping that meant I was lying in a hospital bed, h**ked up to


    a heart monitor. My head throbbed to its own beat as I pushed myself to remember what had


    happened. I remember Aspen being hurt and cutting my arm but that’s all. I hissed as I tried to move


    my arm. That wasn’t a dream.


    “Baby, trying not to move your arm, it’s still healing,” I heard ke say, his hand squeezing mine.


    ‘Are the boys okay?” I whispered, turning my head in the direction of his voice. I didn’t want to open my


    eyes. And the way my voice grumbled from my throat, I didn’t want to speak either but I needed to


    make sure they were both okay.


    The bed dipped before ke’s warm hands caressed my cheeks. I leaned into his touch, enjoying this


    warmth.


    “I sent them both home to rest.” He mumbled against my forehead. Hot tears hit my cheeks and I knew


    they weren’t mine.


    “Ryley, what you did for Aspen, I can never repay.” His voice cracked and all I wanted to do was hold


    him. I don’t fully understand what happened or why I’m lying in a bed in the hospital, but I knew I did


    whatever I could to save Aspen.


    I forced my eyes open, blinking away to adjust to the brightness of the room. I lifted my good arm to


    ke’s cheek, brushing away a fallen tear. His eyes opened, blinking away the tears before he looked


    down


    at me.

    “F**k, I’m so d you’re awake,” he breathed out before he wrapped his arms around my neck,


    squeezing me to his chest.


    “I almost lost you,” he murmured. Lost me? I would have healed, I should have healed. I tried to reach


    out to Lily but I could only hear her soft snores.


    “As long as the boys are okay, that’s all that matters.” I stammered, my voice raspy as I tried to force


    the words out. He pulled back, retaking hold of my cheeks.


    “Don’t say that, baby. I need the boys just as much as I need you.” I smiled against his lips as he


    pressed his to mine.


    “I’ll get you some water and the doctor,” he said before kissing my forehead. I nodded before he stood


    up, leaving the room.


    When he was gone, it gave me time to think about what had happened. I looked down at my arm which


    was wrapped in a thick bandage. I still don’t understand why I wouldn’t have just healed. That has


    never happened before. And my wolf is still sleeping or I would ask her.


    I sighed, trying to getfortable. My body ached and protested every move I tried to make. Thest


    time I remember being this sore was after giving birth to Channing. I didn’t have Lily to help take some


    of the pain or to heal me.


    I smiled when ke walked in holding a bottle of water. Lily may be sleeping but at least I have ke


    here. The doctor followed him in and closed the door behind him.


    ke sat beside me before helping me take a drink of water while the doctor looked over the machines


    and then my chart.


    “Thank you,” I whispered when he took the bottle from my lips. The cool liquid soothed my dry throat.

    I leaned my head back against the pillow and closed my eyes before yawning.


    “Luna, how are you feeling?” The doctor asked and my eyes shot open.


    “What?” I stammered, looking at ke and then the doctor.


    “You are a Luna wolf?” He questioned and I slowly nodded my head.


    “Yes.” I breathed out.


    “Ryley, why didn’t you tell me?” ke asked and I sighed.


    “I didn’t want anyone to know. I know Luna wolves are rare. I was protecting Lily. But I couldn’t let


    Aspen die.” ke wrapped an arm around my shoulders, pulling me into his side.


    “I’ll be forever grateful for what you did for Aspen. And no matter what happens, I’ll protect you with my


    life.” He said and it had tears pooling in my eyes. Having this information reach the council could be


    devastating and now there was no turning back.


    “Well, Luna, have you ever experienced a heat before?” The doctor asked, sitting down in a chair


    beside the bed. I looked at ke.


    “I’m sorry, Ryley, I just blurted it out in the OR,” he shrugged.


    “It exins why you did heal. A female wolf after a heat will be dormant for a few days to recover.” He


    said.


    “That’s why she’s sleeping?” I breathed out.


    “Most couples would still be held up in their room so the female wouldn’t be in immediate danger.” He


    exined.


    “That’s why I didn’t heal after cutting my arm?” I eximed and he

    nodded.


    “You also nicked an artery


    “But why would I go into heat?” I questioned. My head was pounding again as I tried to put the puzzles


    together.


    “I don’t have an answer for you, yet. Luna wolves are rare and not a lot is known about them.” The


    doctor answered.


    “Okay,” I whispered,


    “Maybe Lily can answer more when she wakes up,” ke said, reassuringly.


    “Can I go home?” I asked. I noticed ke and the doctor sharing secret conversation until the doctor


    let out a sigh.

    “Only if you rest. Your wolf won’t be active for another couple of days and you have lost a significant


    amount of blood this week.” He ordered.

    “I know this rtionship is new and exciting, Alpha but she needs to rest.” He scolded ke and I


    chuckled remembering the punishment I was supposed to receive when we got home.


    “If ke promises, can I go home?” I pleaded. The doctor pushed his lips in a line, looking from me to


    ke before agreeing,


    “The alpha can take you home and I’ll see you tomorrow to check on you.”Content is property ? N?velDrama.Org.
