Her Savior. His Princess.

My Heart

Kaylee walked up to me and Ramirez shifted from where he was standing. His eyes were on her and his stance was protective. “We have to move her to the Alpha’s place.” She speaks, though I know her words are aimed at Ramirez, even if she is looking at me. Without Ramirez or I having to ask she says, “Jackie texted.” That’s all the explanation Ramirez needs before crossing the room to us. 

Other doctors file in and help me get onto a stretcher that they can carry me to the ambulance on. It hurts but I don’t complain. Ramirez and Kaylee are by my side the whole time. They have been so nice to me so far. I just hope it lasts. I won’t be able to tell them anything until I know I can fully trust them. People can change fast. Though, the thought that I could lose them make me hurt more than I already do. And of course, the thought of losing Liam makes my heart feel such an intense pain it makes me want to curl up and cry. 

I stay silent on the drive to a building I can’t see. They drive us straight into a garage so even then I don’t get to see it as they get me into an elevator. Only three people go up. Kaylee, who has been talking this whole time. Ramirez, who looks content listening to Kaylee and watching to see how I’m doing. And then me, laying in a stretcher, unmoving because every time I try to, Kaylee insists that I stay down.

After what seems like forever, the elevator dings and the doors open. I’m too focused on Kaylee and Ramirez to notice anything around me except for the quick flash of the beautiful sunset that I get before I’m wheeled down a hall way and into another room. This room is huge! It has a massive Queen-sized bed with silver bed sheets and a very comfortable looking silver blanket. Princess-like see through drapes are around the bed and it’s perfect. I can see a closet to the right of the room, right across the way from the bed. I can’t really see into the closet but I just know it’s huge. Next to it, but a few feet away, I see a bathroom but I don’t focus much on that detail. Everything else in the room is beautiful. 

The walls are silver but the soft looking carpet is a gold that seems to almost match my golden locks. My hair is still messy so I make a mental to take a shower when I’m able to stand fully. Of course, right now I just feel tired and that bed looks comfy. The rest of the room looks pretty empty, as if it was waiting for the right person to make it feel whole again. I hoped I was that person that could complete it. Maybe if I did I wouldn’t feel less broken. 

Ramirez stopped wheeling the stretcher and him and Kaylee gently move me to the bed. I sink into the mattress and the pillow, and my eyes widen. It’s so comfortable I could live in this bed without moving ever again and be happy. Kaylee pulls the blanket over my body so I’m encased in a warm shell. I love it. I let out a happy sigh and they nod to each other, satisfied that I’m happy. 

“Would you like to be alone or-“ Kaylee starts but I instantly shake my head, biting my lip when pain erupts in my spine.

“N-No... please stay...” I practically beg and she smiles. She looks at Ramirez and he bows before slipping out of the room. I know he is right outside the door because I can hear his footsteps stop outside the door. It makes me feel safe and protected. Kaylee sits on the edge of the bed and I smile at her. For once she stops talking to just look at me.

“You are really beautiful. And I think you are the perfect person to be Liam’s mate. I’m so glad we found you.” That’s when I notice three large scars on her neck. She seems to see that I notice because her smile turns sad. “Liam.” My jaw drops when she answers my unspoken question. He did that to her? Why would he hurt one of his best friends?! “But it’s okay now, because we have you.” I’m still looking at her scars but when she says that, my eyes snap up to meet hers.

“How does my being here make it all okay?” I ask, curious by what she means. How can I change something that much? That seems unlikely.

“Since he met you, he’s been a crazy beast. Cortez - his wolf - has been freaking out and going insane. He felt your pain and it hurt him so much. He didn’t mean to hurt me. And he still feels really bad about it. But I have forgiven him. And besides, now I look like a badass warrior that got into a brawl!” She looks so excited at this comment and I chuckle. 

I smile as she places her hand on the bed and leans slightly in a way that makes her look more at ease. “That’s true. You look badass and somehow... I think it makes you look sexy.” She starts laughing when I do an eyebrow dance. I’m teasing of course, and she catches on to that. I laugh as well, even though the motion hurts slightly. I have never had a true female friend so being able to laugh with another girl that actually understands me, feels pretty freaking amazing. 

“I mean... you aren’t wrong...” we had just finished laughing but at her comment, we were both laughing harder than before. My heart was full of happiness and I think nothing bad can ever get me if I’m with them.
