Axel POV:
I had no idea Ruby was capable of being this annoying. For an hour, she hadn't left my side since I'd woken up. I was only out for about thirty minutes. Since it was 4:45 pm and no wolf would be able to shift after 6 pm, I was able to heal most of my broken bones on my own.
However, I did need little help from Natalie for my cracked skull.
Ruby kept checking on me and asking if I was okay every few minutes. While it was refreshing that she cared so much, it was starting to get on my nerves. She might have gotten a good one in on me, but I'm much harder to kill than she thinks.
"Ruby, I'm fine, okay? Can you stop?" I wasn't a weakling, and I didn't need to be protected or coddled. Not by her, or anyone else for that matter.
Her beautiful face fell.
