*Savannah's POV*

I couldn't stop pacing back and forth. Taylor has been in ICU for over an hour.

"Savannah sit down." my father told me, I ignored him and kept pacing. how can he expect me to sit when he did all of this.

A doctor came out and I stopped and asked how she was.

"Well Miss. Rivers we had to induce a coma so we could do the work we needed. Even though she's a werewolf her healing is severely slow."

Tears started flowing down my eyes and my dad tried to put his arm around me but I shoved it away. "Can I go see her?" I asked the doctor.

"Only one at a time and her mother is back there now. I will tell her that you want to see her too." he said.

"I don't want to I need to see her. She's my mate."

This floor of the hospital is reserved for our pack and the doctors and nurses are all werewolves as well so they understand the chain of command and know who I am.

"Yes Miss. Rivers." Was all he said and he left.

I went back to take my seat and my dad said he was leaving and asked if I'd be alright. I didn't answer him so he finally left.

About 20 min later Taylor's mom left and I could go see her. When I walked into the room it smelled just like her. I took a deep breathe and I relaxed. I took the seat next to her and grabbed her small hand.

She had cuts all over her and parts of her face was swollen. I was just staring at my poor girl when one of the machines started to beep and a nurse walked in.

"Good evening Miss. Rivers." she said and I said hello back. "She should be coming out of her coma soon and you are welcome to stay the night if you think she'd like it." that's all the nurse said while giving her another bag of fluids and she left.

I decided to lay my head down for a while so I don't wake her up till she's ready.

*Taylor's POV*

I felt myself stir around and finally opened my eyes. I was starring at the ceiling and I felt something squeeze my hand. I looked down to see Savannah asleep in a very uncomfortable position. I smiled and shook her gently to wake her up.

"Savannah, sweetheart." I whispered as I gently shook her. Her eyes fluttered open and looked up at me and stood up immediately. Her movement startled me and made me flinch a little.

"Oh I'm so sorry beautiful," she said softly as she stroked my cheek reminding me its okay and she won't hurt me, ever. "I'm so happy that your okay, I was so worried." she said and leaned forward and planted a soft kiss on my forehead. Savannah and I haven't had a lot of personal time together, in fact this was the first time we have really been alone besides in the forest and briefly at her house in her room. Here, there isn't any stress or problem at the moment besides the fact I have an IV in me and in a hospital, but I'm with her so I don't care.

"Babe?" Savannah said again.

"Yes?" I said, I didn't hear her the first time due to my rambling mind.

" How are you feeling? Do I need to get you a nurse? How about some water? Or maybe some food you are really skinny and I feel that-"

"Honey," I said to cut her off. "I'm fine." I smiled at her. Her rambling was so adorable.

"Are you sure babe?" she asked again and I knew for some reason she wouldn't stop till I agreed on sometimes.

" Some ice water sounds good honey." I said and she smiled and leaned forward and kissed my cheek and left my room.

I took that chance to take a look around and realized I really had to go to the bathroom. So it took me a second but I sat up and swung my legs over when Savannah walked in. I could smell her scent of fresh apples before I heard the door open.

"What are you doing! Get back in bed babe." she said and being the submissive I am I began to do as she said, then I stopped and remembered that she is my mate and mates are equals in a sense. The male usually dominates the female but when it comes to small decision making they become equals. So I glanced at her with a pleading look and she got the memo.

She walked over and helped me up. She pulled me up gently and it looked so easy for her. She was wearing a black t shirt and I could see her arms were slim but muscular and I found it very very attractive that she was tough without being all bulky.

Breaking out of my clouded mind, clouded from the drugs may I remind you. We walked over to the bathroom and she opened the door and turned on the light for me.

I was capable of doing this but I didn't want to burst her bubble I was just a little dizzy when I got up I'm completely fine now, but she's to cute I can't help but to milk it.

I went pee and washed my hands and took the time to look at my face. I had a bandage over the left of my forehead near my eye and I got stitches from my cheek bone down to almost my chin. I had smaller cuts but it will all be gone in a couple days. If it was Savannah it would be gone already but the perks or lack of, of being a submissive.

I left the bathroom and Savannah was right there to help me to bed. I was actually surprised I was in sweats and a lose t shirt I looked down and noticed it said Pierce the veil and I knew it was Savannah's, and when I looked up at her she was blushing a little. Probably the fact that she brought the clothes. I don't know who changed me but I don't really care it was a sweet gesture to make me comfy.

I walked up to her while pulling my drugs on wheels thing and got on my tippy toes to be her height and kissed her softly on the lips. She responded and kissed back and once I put my heels back on the ground I thanked her as she helped me back into bed.

She tucked me in and handed me my water. "Anything else love?" she asked and I thought for a second.

"Hmm," I said tapping my chin. I realized then I couldn't really feel my face or most of my body from the drugs, but back to thinking I've never been on this side of the chain of command and I'm not sure what to ask for. Then I got. "I know what if like next babe." she got an excited look on her face and it made me smile. I scooted over in my bed and flipped the sheets open and platted the bed.

She smiled and took a step forward then stopped and frowned. "Wait," my heart stopped for a second as my mind raced with possibilities. Is she ganna leave or worse leave me for good?

Then she spoke "Only if you lay in my arms." she said and smiled.

"Of course hun." I said to her and smiled back. I'm not sure where all this confidence came from to call her these pet names and be so quick with any answer without thinking it through but, it felt good to be able to talk without worrying about getting beat up next.

She slipped her shoes off and got under the covers with me and I leaned against her and she put her arm around me as if we have done this a million times. I snuggled against her and rested my head against her upper chest and she put her head down against mine and sighed.

"Is something wrong babe?" I asked. I loved being able to call her these names whenever I please its so amazing.

" Oh no Boo I have just never felt anything more right then holding you in my arms and knowing that your safe." she said calmly.

I smiled and immediately fell in love with not only her but the way she called me Boo was like non other.

Wait did I just say in my head that I loved her? I heard my inner wolf howling with acceptance. If that's not love then I don't know what is and as if she was reading my mind she said four words that would change my life forever.

"Taylor, I love you." she spoke and kissed my head.
