Mortal Enemy Mates

Chapter 8

Jett POV

As I woke, Keira was still in her deep slumber, I sighed. Disappointment filling my veins, the goddesses words filling me with hope that she'd be waking up today.

I was also concerned, as I did not have anybody that I could trust to be my second in command...

Keira has a brother does she not? Romeo suddenly suggested.

Yea, she does. Caleb I think is his name, but can I trust him? I mean he was killing our people on the battlefield. I countered.

That may be true but you were doing the same, correct? Besides, I think it will be good to bond with him, he is your brother-in-law. Romeo explained, and I nodded in agreement in my head...

"Babe..?"

I immediately froze what I was doing, I knew that sweet smooth voice anywhere.... I slowly turned around from the closet to find her laid in bed, gold eyes tiredly opened.... I rushed to her side...

"Kiera?!" I said excited

"It is you, I thought I was just imagining things," she continued "how long have I been out?" she asked.

"Couple days. I'll get the doctor." I said as I linked someone to get him, her father had sent their pack doctor yesterday, I wanted him here if she did wake up. We know little about wolves other than their weaknesses.

Also thought she'd be more comfortable seeing a friendly face. As he came through the door, he sighed with relief.

"Keira, your dad and brother will be so thrilled to hear that you're finally awake." He said happily.

"Do you wish for me to get them here for you?" he asked her as he checked her vitals.

"Please, can you send them Dr. Henson?" she asked timidly.

"Of corse." he said, as his eyes clouded over for a brief minute. He drew some blood and nodded at her then me.

"They are on they're way here now, I will run a few tests in the meantime, im glad your awake. I'll gave them cook her a meal and bring her something to drink, she must be starving.!" He requested, I nodded

"Thank you much Dr. Henson." he nodded back and smiled as he turned to leave the room. I turned my attention to Keira.

"Do you remember anything?" I asked, a dreadful fear coming over me of having to remind her of her latest experiences and hardships.

She was silent for a a while, deep in her thoughts, I allowed her to think, I wasn't going to rush her.

"Yes... I remember everything." she said, her voice shaking. Mentally I sighed a bit of relief. Don't get me wrong I didn't want this to have happened to her at all, but I also didn't want to have to be the one to remind her of what had happened, that would be like her experiencing it twice. I looked over her.

"Please don't look at me like that.... like I'm a victim, like I'm a charity case.." she said suddenly, my eyes going back up to her face.

"I'm not, just ashamed of myself for allowing it to happen." I explained, the guilt rising inside.

"Come here.. Please?" she spoke softly, almost a whisper. Romeo putting out a purr of approval, causing Keira to chuckle. I slowly got out of the chair and gently sat next to her frail frame on the bed, facing her.

She slowly scooted herself up in bed and looked at me, her eyes bright and the soft light from the window brightening up her once light caramel colored skin. She smiled brightly, her white teeth showing in her smile.

"I love you, and none of this is anyone's fault other than your father's. It's his own fault that he couldn't control his s****l urges." she said, I smiled again as Romeo let out yet another purr.

"I love you too, and we missed you." I smiled, she chuckled

"Yea, I can tell, he's purring like a kitten." she teased. I smiled for the first time in what felt like ages, the butterflies and the wonderful sensation of the mate bond had come back and I so dearly missed how her touch felt.

I missed her smile.

I missed her voice.

I missed her laugh.

I missed the way her eyes lit up when she laughed.

I missed... Her as a whole being, she was my reason to get out of bed everyday, she was the reason my days existed. She was wonderful in every way, the way her scars healed on her body just right and left her "imperfections" perfect. Everything that was about her, and I loved the way my world revoled around making her happy.

"Your dad's on the way, do you want me to help you up to bathe?" I told her, I had asked cause the doctor had told me prior to her waking up, she hadn't used her limbs in a while, she could need help.

She nodded, "Yes please." I immediately went to one side of the bed and uncovered her body, and held out my hands.

"Whenever your ready, my lady. I'm at your service." she chuckled and held onto each of my hands tightly as she dragged herself to the edge of the bed, placing each of her feet carefully onto the carpet floor. I looked into her eyes.

"I'm here to catch you if you fall, whenever your ready, and not a moment before." She nodded again and stuck her tounge barely out of her mouth in concentration and I chuckled.

"Cute babe." she laughed and playfully hot my bicep, I pretended to be hurt by placing my hand over my chest.

"OH my love, you wound me... Whhhyyy" I said sarcastically, to which she laughed more.

"Whatever you dork, quit and help me walk to the shower. " she laughed again

"OK, ok. Sorry." I chuckled slightly and held firmly but gently so that I wouldn't hurt her but she also wouldn't fall over herself at the same time.

We slowly mad our way over to the shower, and by the time she got there, she could stand on her own but I still stayed in the room with her during the shower so that if she slipped and fell I could be there in a second to help her up.

Now, for the family reunion..
