Taylor’s POV
It’s been two whole days since Izzy fell asleep. I tried waking her, and she wouldn’t wake up.
I called the doctors, and they found nothing wrong with her. Zack said it happened once before, only for a few hours the day they escaped from the Red Moon Pack.
Our Luna will wake up soon, says doctor Welch. Patting me on the shoulder as he leaves the room. I sigh. I know, but when.
Ry why aren’t you upset that she is not waking up? Because Shay told me they are both fine. And you couldn’t have told me.
I did try telling you when she first didn’t wake. You blocked me, telling me to shut it. That I didn’t know what I was talking about.
Oh yeah, I did do that, didn’t I, running my hand through my hair.
Sometimes I wonder why the moon goddess gave me such a stupid human. Hey!! Ry chuckles. Well, next time, listen.
Or is that above you? Ry!! Sometimes I wish I could just… stopping mid-sentence as he hears a moan from Izzy.
She’s awake finally.
Izzy’s POV
I wake up to beeping. It’s hard to even open up my eyes. It’s so bright in here, I have to squint my eyes.
Hold on, Izzy. Let me shut the lights off. Where am I? You’re in the hospital. You have been asleep for two days.
H.. how is that even possible, I stuttered out. Then I remembered the visit from the moon goddess.
I feel rested. What day is it? It’s Friday. My love, everyone is getting ready for the party tomorrow.
My brothers all walk in and rush over to hug me. Don’t scare us like that again, says Zack. Liam hugs me even tighter. I’m fine, really.
I guess I was just over tired. Izzy, I don’t think so. You wouldn’t wake up for anything. It was like you were not there, says Liam.
I’m sorry, guys. I didn’t mean to scare you. We can talk about this later. I need a shower. Tell everyone we can meet up later, please.
I would like to get released and take a shower. Devin kisses me on my head. I can wait for your explanation. I’m just glad you’re okay. But don’t do this again. I’m sorry! Really!
Taylor, can you please get me released? A few minutes later, doctor Welch walks in. How are you feeling today, Luna?
I feel great. Okay, let me check a few things, and we can get you outta here. That would be great, doctor.
After the doctor asked a few questions and checked all of my vitals, he said I was good to go.
She’s fine, Taylor. They were with Selene. Why were they with Selene? I don’t know, that you would have to ask Izzy.
Shay won’t say. She says it’s not her story to tell.
Am I really ready for this, Shay? Izzy, the only thing holding you back is you. He’s not going to hurt us, just trust him.
Alright, Shay. Let’s see how it goes. My grandma walks in. Are you ready to go, babygirl? Yes!! I’ve been ready.
Taylor is gonna take you to the pack house, while the rest of us get ready for the party tomorrow.
We will come up and see you in a little while when you’re all settled in. Grandma gives me a kiss on the forehead. Try to be good, my love, as she smirks!
grandma!! She chuckles and leaves the room.
I didn’t mean to scare you, I know he sighs. Let’s get going. He picks me up bridal style and carries me out of the room.
Taylor, I can walk!! No, you can’t because you’re not walking barefoot. Oh, looking down at my feet. I blush. Taylor sets me gently in the SUV and gets in beside me.
We arrive at the pack house, and I see everyone running around. Taylor pulls me outta the SUV and carries me inside.
Good morning Luna and Alpha, glad to see your doing better says Stella.
Thanks Stella, as I blush, Taylor shakes his head.
Have a good day Stella, says Taylor as he pushes the button on the elevator.
We get up to the Alpha floor, and Taylor sets me down gently and goes to the kitchen and gets me a glass of water.
There’s so much I need to tell him, but first, I need a shower. Then we can talk. Do you need any help? No, I think there are some things we should talk about first. I agree we do need to talk.
I just want to do a different kind of discussion, Shay smirks.
OMG, Shay, you are too much as my cheeks turn bright red.
Shay starts laughing. Mate, you do know I can smell you! Making my face turn even brighter red.
Shay, I can’t with you! Shay laughs.
Oh, come on, Izzy, just look at our mate!
I have! Turning the shower on to cold water.
One of us has to be reasonable. Boring!!
I shake my head at Shay.
We need to have a real conversation with him before we jump his bones, as you so kindly put it. Shay bursts out laughing.
Alright, alright, you win conversation first, then we jump his bones. Shay grins.
I shake my head at Shay’s antics.
I tell myself first this cold shower, conversation, then the rest will be whatever happens. Now we’re talking, grins Shay.
