When I woke up this time, I dashed straight to the bathroom and to the toilet. I
heard the bedroom door open but I didn't care. I felt hands wrap around my hair,
holding it up for me, as I threw up. When I finished, I crawled back to the sink and
washed my face again. I laid back on the floor and closed my eyes. I felt someone
starring at me, and I opened one eye to look. It was Ryder. I mentally sighed. "Why did
you save me Ryder, considering the fact that you rejected me as your mate." I asked
calmly. The air around me went stiff, and I sat up. Ryder's jaw was locked in place, and
he had a murderous look in his eyes. I backed up, only to be pulled back to his chest. He
put his face in the crook of my neck, and took a deep breath. He slowly relaxed with
each breath, and I tried to back away, but his arms wouldn't budge. I sighed. "Can I
have my body back please? I would like to tend to my wounds." The murderous look
returned. "What. Wounds?" He asked through gritted teeth. I sat facing the tub with my
back facing him, and pulled the night gown up over my head. I heard him gasp and then
growl. I flinched. He immeadeatly stopped. I flinched again when he touched my back.
"Did David do this?" He asked. "Yes." I whispered, as a tear rolled down my cheek.
"Turn around." He instructed.I obliged. His eyes never moving from my face, even
though my chest was exposed,he stood up and opened the cabinet door, and pulled out
some gauze and burn cream. He went behind me and sat on the edge of the tub. He
applied the burn cream to some areas, and gauze to others. I pulled my nightgown back
over my head and leaned against his legs. My shoulder blades were leaning on him, as
that was the only place that didn't have a wounds on my back. "I banished Cassidy." He
said slowly. I turned around, only to see sad eyes. "Why?" I asked. "Because when I
realized what I did to you, I went to find Nikolai,so he could bring you back, when I
heard a females voice. I followed it and it was Cassidy talking to her friend. She said
that their plan was working, and all that's left was for her to get me to mark her." He
said. I leaned against him again. "Why didn't you?" I asked. "Like I was going to mark
some one, let alone her, when I had, well you know..." His voice died off. "When you
rejected me and banished me from the pack?" I said bluntly. He sighed. "Yes. As soon as
you left, my wolf started howling, and when I told him to shut up, he did. I haven't
heard from him since." I gasped. "But that was six months ago." I said. " yep." He
replied. I leaned my head on his lap, and looked up at him. "Your the cutest." He said. "
Even with dirt on your face." He added. I felt my cheeks heat up and picked my head up,
only for him to pull it back down. He stared down at my face with a smile, and I
smirked. I turned around, kneeling on my knees, so that I was facing him, while
kneeling between his legs. His smile widened, and my smirk grew. I reached up and
touched his scar. I felt him shudder. " what are you doing?" He asked me. I leaned up
and lightly kissed him on his lips. I pulled back and smirked at him. "Bringing your wolf
back."
His eyes widened and he gasped. I watched as his eyes went from the beautiful
gray color, to a dark Crimson color, and back to the beautiful gray I had used to love.
After a few minutes, his eyes widened further as his wolf was brought back to him. I
stood up and went to the sink and grabbed the hand mirror, and passed it to him. He
took it and looked into the mirror, and I swear to the goddess that his eyes were smiling
on their own. I used to love it when he smiled. He handed me back the mirror and I put
it back. He motioned for me to come to him so I walked back over to him and sat on the
floor a foot away from him. He growled, and pulled me closer to him. My eyes widened,
and he leaned down and kissed my lips lightly, as if he thought I would break at any
moment. I leaned into him, telling him that I was okay with it and that he could go on.
After a few more seconds, I pulled back and he looked disappointed. I gave him a small
smile and then someone was at the door knocking. His face immeadeatly hardened into
that of an Alphas and I scooted back away from him. He looked at me and his eyes
softened,but his face stayed neutral,not showing any emotion. He walked out into the
bedroom, and he opened the door. It was Nikolai. I let out a small gasp of anger and
slammed the bathroom door closed. I heard a whimper, and the other door closed.
"He's gone. Open the door." I heard Ryder say. "No." I answered. "Why not?" He asked
through gritted teeth. "Because I'm going to take a shower." I said. " could I join you?
You know, in case you fall or something." I could practically hear the smirk on his face.
"Nope." I said teasingly. He let out a small growl. I laughed at him through the door. He
stopped. "Ryder?" I asked. No answer. "Ryder are you there?" I heard the other door
open and slam shut.
MI opened the bathroom door and looked toward the door. Seconds
later, I felt hands grab my waist, and I let out a squeak of surprise. I was spun around
and soft lips smashed mine in a possessive manner. I let out a small cry of pain as hands
went up my spine. I was immeadeatly pushed back and I looked into the most beautiful
gray eyes ever. Ryder. He tricked me! That dirty little ba- "I wouldn't finish that
thought if I were you." He warned. Oops. Forgot that I was in his territory. He had
inherited his mothers gift where he could read the minds and thoughts of anyone who
was in his territory. He chuckled then turned serious. " I'm so so so so soooooo sorry. I
didn't mean to touch your wounds. I had forgotten they were there. I SWEAR I won't do
it ag-" I cut him off as I kissed him. I pulled back and looked him straight in the eyes.
Somethings that would've gotten me killed in any other pack. "It's okay Alpha." I said.
He growled. "Ryder. My name is Ryder and you will address me such, and nothing
else. Ever. You understand?" He warned me. "Yes." I replied. "Good." He said. "Go take
a shower. I'll bring some clothes up for you. Come down to the kitchen when your
ready." He said. I nodded. He growled. "Yes Ryder." I quickly corrected. He nodded and
stopped growling. I walked back into the bathroom and shut the door. I turned the
water on, and let it warm up, before I took my night gown off. I took off the gauges that and stepped into the shower.
