Saving Akira (Complete)

Chapter 19

    The door to her room in the hospital opened and Dr. Noel the head doctor walked in with Akira’s chart and release papers. “Alright you can go home Akira. But there are a few things you must do in order to keep healing. I am giving you some antibiotics and painkillers. The antibiotics you must take as prescribed, but the painkillers are as needed. There is to be no mating until she is completely healed. You have waited this long another week or two will not hurt you.” Chuckling softly Noel continued, “You should take it extremely easy on your activities. You can take a walk but only if you are with someone. If you get to tired you run the risk of passing out. I want to see you again in two days to check on your recovery. Just being near your Mate could be enough to help you to heal faster. No training until further notice.”

    Jon grabbed the bag he had brought with him and handed it to Akira. “Here are some clothes that I borrowed from one of the Pride members. When you feel better, we will go to the mall so you can buy your own clothes again.”

    “That is alright Jon I just need a few items I am sure that we can find them somewhere around this…Uhhh where are we anyway?” Akira canted her head and looked at Jon. Since she had woke up, she had forgotten to ask where they were. All she knew was that they were somewhere that a Pride was located. That could mean anything or anywhere for that matter.

   Jon stifled a chuckle as he set about trying to get Akira up and out of bed. “We are in a small tiny city called Rocky Gap. We are still in Virginia though. And you need more than a few items. From the look of your room at that pathetic no tell motel you are in need if a lot of items. And we will be getting you those items and many more.” Before Akira could even say a word, Jon continued. “Okay time to get you standing. You are going to be weak so let me help you alright?”

    “Jon I can get dressed on my own. This is not the first time I have been injured this badly and even then, I handled everything on my own. So please step out of the room and let me get dressed. I do know that I want a very hot bath with lots of bubbles when we get to the Pride house.” A look of longing crossed her face as she thought about a long relaxing and peaceful bath.

    “But you are no longer alone. You have me, my panther, our Leap, and the Pride. Please remember you are not alone. But I will step outside so I can get a wheelchair for you. And before you can even say a word it is hospital policy that you must leave in one. I know it is silly since all we need to do is go a couple of blocks to the Pride’s main house where we will be staying.” Jon placed a soft kiss on her forehead before leaving the room to find said wheelchair.

    Akira rolled her mismatched eyes and slowly climbed out of the bed. Although she was stiff, she was able to keep her balance. It took her a few minutes to get dressed in the jeans and soft oversized t-shirt that was given to her to wear. As she dug through the contents of the bag, she found a pair of socks but no shoes. “What I the world? Where are my shoes?” So she started looking around the room for them as Jon entered with the wheelchair.

   “Akira what are you looking for maybe I can help you find it.” The look he gave her was one of pure adoration and love. “I can not seem to find my shoes. I can not walk anywhere without them.” Akira stopped in her tracks and turn to Jon who was laughing up a storm at her. “What is so funny Jon?”

    “That is because I did not bring you any. I will carry you to the vehicle and hold you the entire way to the house. When we get there, I will carry you inside and to our room where a nice hot bubble bath will be waiting for you. Once you are ready to get into the bath, I will help you into it then leave you to soak away the stiffness. After that I will help you out of the tub for your safety and leave you to get dressed. There is no negotiation this. After we eat, in our room mind you, Daelin will join us so we can fill him in what has happened to you. Tomorrow you can call your old Alpha and Prima.”

    Without another word Jon picked Akira up like she was as light as a feather and placed her carefully in the wheelchair. Poor Akira was grumbling the whole time about overprotective i***t males. Her panther was purring in her head, “But he is our overprotective i***t male.” Rolling her eyes at her panther she held onto her bag that Jon had handed to her.

    It only took a few minutes to reach the vehicle and just as Jon had said he picked her up and gently placed her in the SUV. After thanking the nurse who had escorted them out he climbed in next her and gently placed her on his lap.
