Lost and Alone, but Never Broken

Chapter 5 – The way to a girls heart is through her stomach

Fiona

When I opened my eyes, I recognised where I was. This was a pack hospital, I visited similar rooms all the time with my mother. I felt wetness on my face, I raised my hand to touch the water leaking down my cheeks as the memories of my mother filled my mind. Shaking my head I tried to dislodge the thoughts as the nurses started to leave the room. A few people tried to speak to me, I tried to snarl in warning, but failed. This body was difficult to control, it had been such a long time since I had been in this form.

The smell hit me again, the scent of my mate. It was fainter this time, but on the same man as he walked towards the bed. The smell was intoxicating, I needed more, I wanted more. I watched him as he grew closer.

“I’m Adam, I’m sorry about what happened out there. I promise I will not harm you.” He appeared to be telling the truth, his blue eyes were unwavering, as he crossed his arms across his broad chest. Though he already lied to me once. Sweat still covered his forehead as he raised his hands to comb through his short brown hair, “so what is your name? Why don’t we start there.”

I weighed my options with Autumn. We decided the best option being to stay near this man and find our mate. Reassess after we find him, Autumn was sure he would be a great man, but only time would tell. Going back to the pack at this point was not really an option, it would put them at risk. Autumn and I knew something like this would happen eventually, we could not hide in the woods forever. What were the chances though that this encounter would lead us to our mate.

I pushed back the blanket uncovering the lower half of my body, swinging my legs around. Ok I am not short, obviously the bed was too high. Autumn inwardly laughed at me as I jumped to get off the hospital bed. Hitting the floor my thin weak legs buckled underneath me propelling me forward. Arms wrapped around my body, holding my back to a solid chest. “Wo there, how about I carry you to the house and then you can walk from there?” Adam voice seemed strained as I stiffened in his hold.

I hadn’t been this close to a person in such a long time, let alone to touch someone. That faint smell of my mate drew me to lean closer into his body slightly relaxing under the scent. The smell I could only describe as the smell of morning, fresh forest air. I looked up to his face which was turning bright red, I vaguely remember the other kids faces going that colour after running around. Maybe he was tired.

He bent down slightly lifting me to his chest. I was cradled to his chest like daddy used to carry me. Once again I leant into his body trying to catch more of my mates scent in my nose. It was comforting, and having the scent would definitely help me find him. “Fee”, I stated as Adam walked to the pack house with me in his arms. My voice was barely audible and scratchy due to the lack of use.

“Fee?” Adam repeated with a confused yet surprised look on his face at my speech. “Your name is Fee?” he rushed out as realization hit that he had asked my name previously. I watched the white double doors of the pack house we were approaching open. Once through the threshold Adam placed me softly on the floor. His hands grasped my upper arms as he gently guided me in a direction. It appeared that many people stared at us along the way, some eyes filled with emotions I could not even explain or identify.

Adam didn’t rush me as I slowly placed one leg in front of the other, quickly walking came back to me. It was similar when I shifted, I remember the sensation when I would walk and fall until it just clicked. The only thing I didn’t anticipate was the lack of strength I had. I was almost ready to keel over when he directed me to a chair in a kitchen. Oh my god was I going to get food, like actual not raw food. “MM’s” I almost shouted in excitement. I loved M&M’s, chocolate I could feel my heartbeat increase as I shot my gaze straight at Adam.

A smile graced his features, “you like M&M’s hu, they are Tristen’s favourite too just don’t tell anyone”. A chuckle left his chest as he made a sandwich and placed it in front of me, before pulling out a bag of crispy M&M’s from the cupboard. “Lunch, then M & M’s”, he stated. God he reminded me of my father too, I vaguely remember the same words coming from his mouth.

I scoffed the food as fast as I could almost choking on it. Coughing Adam’s hand came in sharp contact with my back, before rubbing circles into it, “slow down Fee, you can have as much as you want”. My stomach was already full, with the pack we always ate quickly so we could move on. Eating as a wolf was much easier, chewing was not something I remembered well.

Swiping the M&M’s for later I held the bag close so nobody would take them away, they were mine. Not being as tired anymore after having sat down to eat and rest, I stood. Slightly more practised after having walked to the kitchen, I took only Adam’s arm for a slight support. “I still have some work to do, you can rest in the office while I finish up. Alpha Tristen is returning in the morning, so I should have more time for you after that”. Gently he tugged me with him down the corridor the scent of my mate getting stronger.
