"Attach the oxygen mask,"

"Install two drip bags,"

"Heart beat monitor fluctuating,"

"Luna stay with us,"

A rush of voices heard but a muscle not moved, she lay still on the hospital bed once again, wanting to blink and move but her body didn't allow it.

Her wolf was back, she felt it.

Her memories were back too and she felt as if she was floating amongst its abyss, her body numb and cold. Yet something- someone was calling out to her.

Her mates lycan was beckoning her to regain consciousness, to come back to her and she heard the call like a siren, mustering up all of her energy she twitched her eyes, her body wanted to shut down but her wolf was pushing through, needing her mate.

"Dante," she spoke but her voice came out hoarse.

In a flash her hand was encompassed in a large rough one, sparks ignited and she heard the fast beeping of a monitor, her heart beat.

It was as if someone was giving her strength.

Her wolf was out with the touch of her mate.

Dante watched Venus's body twitch a bit, the doctors right by them, waiting.

Her eyes snapped open, glowing eyes, not her warm brown orbs.

Her wolf was out.

In a flash she had jerked upright in bed and was scanning her surroundings, the minute her eyes landed on dante a smile graced her lips and she tried getting out of bed, despite that Kaya had taken over there still wasn't enough energy in her body to work.

"Easy there sweetheart," dante said, making venus sit back on the bed.

One nod at the doctors and they were gone.

"Dante," kaya called out, her eyes aglow and her voice slightly deeper than Venus's.

"Yes love?"

"Enzo?" Kaya asked, tilting her bandaged head to the side

His chest rumbled with laughter at her cute gesture,

"Not now love, but after Venus is better then yes."

"Can you give Venus control now?" Dante asked.

After a moments hesitation Kaya nodded and closed her eyes, after a deep breath in she opened her eyes, Dante was greeted with doe brown eyes.

"Venus?" He called out, unsure of what state she was in.

Venus blinked and looked up at her beautiful mate who was looking down at her with concern etched across his chiseled features.

"Baby, why don't you lie down," he said, gently pushing her down onto the bed but Venus shook her head vigorously, not able to find her voice.

Tears filled her eyes as she held onto her mates strong arms and pulled him down and raised her head up, placing her lips on his.

Dante froze for a spilt second, caught off guard but soon started to move his lips with hers, feeling its softness, as she fitted the contours of her mouth into his,

moving her lips against his and gripping onto him, as he traced his tongue on the seam on her lips, she didn't open her mouth for him but kissed his tongue instead, then pulled back.

Breathing heavily, hearts thundering.

He leaned back in and kissed her lips again, then her forehead.

As a soft smile played on her lips.

"I missed you," he whispered to her achingly.

With tears in her eyes, she looked up at her forever and smiled at him, placing her hand against his cheek.

"I missed you more."

"As for now everything seems okay, but if something comes up, come to me immediately," the pack doctor said, shuffling the papers in his hand into a neat pile, smiling at his slightly pale luna who gave him a weak smile.

They set off back home with a diet plan to get Venus's body healthy, and some medicines so she could heal quickly.

"Dante I can walk just fine," venus whined, as Dante insisted on carrying her.

"This is not up for discussion," he said, holding her closer to himself.

"Hmph, I'm not a baby," venus said, scowling at him in an adorable manner, laughing at her antics he leaned down to press a kiss to the tip of her nose.

"Yeah you're not, but you're my luna which makes you my responsibility," he said, carrying her up the staircase into his room.

"Hey this is your roo-" venus was cut off when she saw that his room was completely redone, it looked more like 'their' room than his.

"Ummm how- what?"

"Our room," he corrected.

Venus looked at him verily, but he shook his head at her.

"Doctors orders sweetheart, I can't let you out of my sight and definitely not at night, and-" he was about to say something else but stopped.

"And what?" Venus urged.

He sighed and sat on their bed, making her sit in his lap,

"Venus, I-i haven't been the mate you deserve or anything close to it for that matter, and I know it took me hell to get that but fuck me,

baby I'll spend the rest of my life making it up to you, till my last breath, you mean everything to me venus," he said, his voice gentle.

"Dante i-"

"Shh darling let me finish, and if you'll have me I wanna have forever with you, let me love you and treat you like my everything, where later down the line we will have a family together, you'll be by my side forever and I'll give you all that you can imagine,

I love you venus."

Her breath caught in her throat from the emotion in his voice, his barriers down, he was just Dante now, not a feared Lycan or an alpha, this was just her Dante.

"I love you more dante."

His eyes softened further and he pulled her to him, cradling her to his chest, resting his chin on her head, placing a kiss there, and then just feeling her in his arms, her warmth and her scent.

This was the start of their forever.
