Chapter eight

_Angel

My aching body slowly pulled my from my deep slumber. The sun poked at my eyelids was less annoying than the constant throbbing in my body. I felt like a walking oozing open wound. Slowly I forced my eyes open, the sight of Colt slumped over asleep in such a tiny chair would be comical but the the more I took in the room, I realized I was in the pack hospital and the memories of the abrupt rogue attack resurface in a rush. The door clicks open and I panic slightly, hoping they won’t wake Colt.

"Hey how are you feeling?" I turned slowly, making sure not to lay on my back looking over at Jen and a guy I had never seen before.

"I'm good." I smiled shyly and looked over to colt who was sleeping in a chair while holding my hand, his head resting on his other hand

"Here you go. Colt asked me to bring you some things.” Jen handed me a bag I smiled at her in thanks and they left, I sighed looking back over to my mate.

"I'm so sorry." I muttered kissing his hand. I eased myself out of bed wincing slightly at the pain, taking my pillow from the bed I placed it in front of Colton on the bed before gently pulling him forward until his top half was resting on the bed.

Then I made my way to the bathroom across from my bed I tried to unzip the remains of my dress, it hurt like hell and I felt my stitches stretch.

"Angel?" I heard colt call from the other side, I sighed. I wouldn't be able to get dress on my own and I was hoping my mate would get some much needed rest.

"I'm in the bathroom, but i-i need your help." I mumbled the last part knowing he heard me, soon the door creaked open and he stood there.

Shamelessly checking me out, I rolled my eyes.

"I need you to help me get dressed." I mumbled shuffling my feet, he didn't say anything instead he gently took the bag out my hands.

I let him take off my dress, he was so gently but when he got to my back he gasped. I paused swallowing , I can only imagine how horrible the mangled skin must look back there.

"If you can't do it anym-" he cut me off.

"N-no angel I got it." He mumbled placing a soft kiss on my shoulder.

After he slipped me out my dress he helped me into the sweatpants and oversized shirt, we didn’t speak but it wasn’t an uncomfortable silence. I

after that he helped me back into bed, I can’t help but groan out loud when he goes to settle back into the crappy chair. “Will you lay with me? I have to sleep on my side so there’s plenty of room.” I try to hide how eager I am to sleep in the same bed again, but he only smirks and slides gently Into the bed next to me. “Get some rest.”
