Chapter 11 : Recovery ~

Evan's p.o.v

I went past the dinning room where everyone was seated eating breakfast. I entered the medical room and looked at Jordyn in bed sleeping.

It's been about 2 days already and she hasn't woken up yet...

Instead of the black and blue dress she wore Mason's button down shirt, her arm laid off the bed and the tube was still attached to her with some type of liquid in it.

Probably her medicine.

I looked at Mason sitting on the chair next to the bed and saw him sleeping with his head leaning back.

My neck hurt just by looking at him, he hasn't left her side once. I don't even think he's been to the bathroom.

I walked to him putting my hand on his shoulder making his eyes snap open looking at Jordyn quickly.

He looked at me blinking and sighed sitting up looking at her, "why don't you go upstairs and get some sleep for a while" I suggested as the door opened. We looked up seeing Reynolds walk in, "I'm just here to check her vitals and change the tube. Is that alright?" he asked and Mason nodded.

"Mason, you need sleep" I said looking down at him as he stared at her with dark circles under his eyes.

"Not without her" he muttered making me smirk.

Well, that's a fucking first.

He leaned back in his chair sighing and I looked at her "Dude, come on. She's fine. She's asleep now, you should sleep to. If you want I can wait outside. I'll call you if anything" I said and he just shook his head watching her intensely.

"No. I'm not leaving her" he said sternly.

I sighed shaking my head going to walk out, "Evan" he said making me look back at him "find out who did this" he growled and I nodded "I will" I said and walked out.

Jordyn's p.o.v

Shit...

My body was killing me.

I sighed trying to move but everything burned, I felt like I was on fire.

I groaned clenching my hand into a fist which caused more pain.

Shit!

What the hell is happening to me?

'You mean what happened' Sarafina muttered with her head down, she felt horrible and so did I.

Did we get hurt?

'I guess you can say that' she whimpered laying there.

I can't move. Why aren't we healing?

I frowned as she stood shut just laying there. She was in serious pain which made my pain go up 10 times more.

I groaned again turning my head, what the hell is going on?

"Jordyn?" I heard and felt someone grab my hand, I gasped at the tingles and felt some pain go away. "Mason" I sighed.

Sarafina whimpered craving for his touch, 'we need him' she whispered and my heart sank at her voice.

There was so much pain.

What happened?

"I'm right here" he said and I grabbed his hand tightly tugging his arm trying to pull him to me, "you should hold her. She has to be in a lot of pain at the moment. A mates touch can relive it" I heard a voice and I knew it was Dr. Reynolds.

I felt the bed sink and my body moved up, I whimpered loudly "shh" Mason whispered wrapping his arms around me. I shivered at all the tingles going up my spine and moaned as some pain actually went away.

Sarafina sighed loudly rolling on her back feeling relief.

I moaned resting my head on Mason's chest, "I'll go get some more medication" The doctor said. I heard a door open and close making Mason sigh, "Kitten, open your eyes" he said and I shook my head.

"Open them. You can do it" he said in my ear

"It hurts" I whispered and he moved my hair, he bent his head kissing my mark and I sighed at the comforting tingles.

Oh my. This feels good.

I slowly opened my eyes being blinded by something bright and shut them quickly groaning.

"I can't. The light" I moaned and felt him move, I hissed grabbing his arm tightly digging my nails in his arm and heard a click. Then went back to holding me close to him.

"Try now" he said and I sighed shaking my head "yes. You need to" he said and I groaned. I slowly opened my eyes and blinked away the blurriness, I sighed looking around seeing we were home in the medical room.

'Did you just say home?' Sarafina smirked

No. I didn't.

She smirked rolling her eyes.

Weren't you just in pain?! Go back to your whining.

'Oh goooooood! It hurts!' She groaned dramatically.

"There you go" he said in my ear and I looked at him, he sighed kissing my head holding my hand.

"What happened?" I asked looking at the tube in my arm, "someone put wolfsbane in your drinks" he said growling lowly and I sighed leaning on him.

"Wolfsbane... Am I ok?" I asked and he nodded "you are now" he said kissing my shoulder, "my body hurts" I whispered "I know. He's coming in now" he said and right at that moment the doctor walked in.

"Jordyn. Glad to see your eyes are ok" he said and I slightly smiled, "how are you feeling dear?" He asked "in pain" I mumbled.

"Can you tell me from a scale of 1 to 10?" He asked and I groaned, "20" I muttered.

"That bad?" He said and I nodded "I feel like I'm on fire" I whispered, he nodded going to his desk and I watched him grab the medication.

Mason sat me up slowly and I cringed in pain leaning against him, I sighed looking down and noticed I wasn't wearing my dress.

I was wearing Mason's giant black shirt.

"What happened to my dress?" I asked looking at him seeing him staring at me with hard eyes "It's covered in blood" he said lowly and I tensed.

Is he mad?

'He can't be' Sarafina frowned as I looked away from his glaring eyes

I think he's mad...

"Here we go" Dr. Reynolds said walking to me holding a needle, oh shit. Needles.

Ugh.

"W-what is it?" I asked

"It's just medication to ease the pain. With this and also being near your mate you probably won't feel as much pain" he said and I nodded.

I looked down and raised the big sleeve up my arm, he grabbed my arm gently and I watched as he stuck the needle in my arm.

I closed my eyes sighing and felt Mason rubbing my other arm gently making the tingles come back.

"There" Dr. Reynolds said pulling the needle away and I sighed watching him throw it away, "will I be ok?" I asked.

"With enough rest and medication you'll be good as new" he said and I looked at my arm down at the tube.

"A-and what is this for?" I asked

"It took out the Wolfsbane" Mason murmured. "Oh" I said biting my lip, "I can take it off. It seems that you system is clear" he said walking to me and I leaned back against Mason's chest.

I blushed as he nuzzled my hair, I looked away closing my eyes as Dr. Reynolds took the tube out of my arm.

Sparks of pain came up making me wince as he cleaned the small wound. "Do you need anything?" He asked and I shook my head "I feel fine... Besides the pain" I said and he nodded "that's good. And how is your wolf at the moment?" He asked looking at me.

I gulped feeling Sarafina practically trying to molest Mason.

"S-she's better" I said blushing and he just raised an eyebrow but nodded not questioning me.

Thank god.

He stood up going to the trash and disposed his gloves, I rubbed my arm and looked at Mason seeing he was still staring at me.

"You have no reason to be pissed off" I growled making him frown "who says I'm pissed?" He asked.

"I know when your pissed. And you look-"

"I'm not angry. Not at you" he said and I sighed, "well alittle at you" he said making me scoff "why would you be mad at me?" I asked.

I heard Reynolds tip toe out the room quickly leaving us alone, "I told you not to drink anymore and you never listen" he said.

"Well you were being a dick" I said and he looked at me surprised with wide eyes.

Sarafina whistled wide eyed 'since when did you get so brave?' She asked.

"How was I being a... A dick?" He asked tensely and I just rolled my eyes, "you marked me-"

"We're mates-"

"That's not what I meant!" I spat making him tense even more. "I thought you marked me because we were finally getting somewhere in this... Whatever we have" I said and he frowned.

"This relationship" he muttered and I scoffed chuckling humorlessly "relationship? Is this really a relationship Mason?" I asked and he just ran his fingers through his hair.

"You need to rest" he mumbled standing up, he walked to the door opening it and walked out.

"Can she go upstairs?" I heard him say

"Yes of course. Make sure she gets a lot of rest" I heard Reynolds say, Mason walked back in.

He pulled the blanket off me and I tensed seeing spots of dry blood on my bare legs.

Oh god.

Mason tensed looking at it and just bent over picking me up, "I can walk" I said.

"Not happening" he said shaking his head walking out the room,"Thank you" I said to Dr. Reynolds whom stood outside.

"Your very welcome, Luna. Get well" he smiled softly, Mason walked away and I gulped.

Oh god. he just called me Luna.

I put my head on Mason's shoulder and looked at his serious expression. "Mason" I whispered making him look at me, I blushed as his nose touched mine.

"Did you get any sleep at all?" I asked touching under his eye at the bags under his eye. He leaned into my touch and sighed "I got some" he nodded.

"Liar" I heard and looked behind us seeing Evan, "Hi Evan" I smiled and he grinned "glad to see your awake. Mason's been worried sick. Hasn't left your side in 2 days" he said patting Mason's shoulder making him glare down at him.

"2 days? How long have I been out?" I asked "almost 3 days" Evan said and I just frowned.

Holy shit.

Mason was worried about me?

'See! He does have a soul!' Sarafina said excitedly

"She needs rest" Mason grumbled and Evan chuckled "so do you. Get some sleep" Evan said patting his back and Mason rolled his eyes walking upstairs.

I bit my lip putting my head on his shoulder sighing, "still in pain?" He asked as we entered the room.

"Alittle" I mumbled, he laid me on the bed and I sighed hugging my pillow. He put the blanket over me making me smile, "for the record. I will always worry about you" he said looking at me.

"Do you always have to read my thoughts?" I whispered and he smirked sitting down and moved my hair "you don't talk to me-"

"I wonder why" I mumbled making him sigh, he stood up going towards the bathroom taking off his shirt making Sarafina perk up.

I shook my head at her and hugged my pillow tighter, I winced as the burning sensation "Mason" I mumbled making him look at me.

"Can you lay with me?" I asked blushing, he nodded walking to the bed and Sarafina grinned.

'You little whore-'

I am not. Shut up.

Mason laid behind me sighing and wrapped his arms around me spooning me sending the sparks all over my body replacing the pain.

I sighed in relief snuggling closer to his warm body and he kissed my shoulder holding me.

Sarafina smirked and tried to get me to molest him.

stop!

'You're no fun' she muttered laying down.

You're a freak.

'Thanks' she winked.

***

"God damn it" I muttered trying to turn on the shower, I sat on the cold tile floor sighing and leaned my body against the cool tub.

"What are you doing?!" I heard making me gasp, I looked up into the doorway seeing Mason standing there shirtless showing off his amazing body.

'He's such Greek god!' Sarafina yelled making me frown.

I don't think he's Greek.

'Not the point' she said rolling her eyes

"I was trying to take a shower but I can't really move" I mumbled, "you're supposed to be resting" he said

"I... I feel dirty" I mumbled looking at the dry blood on my legs, he walked to the shower and turned it on.

My eyes widen as he unbuttoned his jeans "uh what are you doing?" I said. "I'm going to help you shower" he said

"N-no. I can manage" I said

'Yes! Please!' Sarafina grinned

Shut up!

He pulled down his pants and I gulped looking at his dark blue boxers, he threw his jeans on the floor and walked to me, oh god.

This can't be happening.

"Mason. I- I can do it myself" I said

"You would've been in there already" he said and grabbed me making me stand up. I winced grabbing his arms and he unbuttoned the black shirt, oh god.

He took it off me slowly and I avoided eye contact, "your uncomfortable" he said moving my hair "a bit" I muttered.

A lot.

"How about I leave your undergarments on then? Will that make you comfortable?" He asked.

"Uh. I guess" I said and gasped as he picked me up walking into the shower, I hissed at the water hitting my skin as he set me down.

"Relax" he said softly into my ear, I put my head on his shoulder as he grabbed the soap.

Oh my.

'Aw! he's taking care of us!' Sarafina squealed making me blush as he began washing me.

I am so embarrassed.

'I'm not. I would take him now' Sarafina grinned.

Why are you such a freak?

'Yolo-'

Oh god don't use yolo on me. Please don't

I looked at Mason seeing him staring at me, "what?" I said "I said turn around" he smirked. "Oh" I blushed and slowly turned around, he wet my hair and I smiled as he began washing my hair.

"How much pain are you feeling?" He asked massaging my scalp making me close my eyes.

Oh my. This feels good.

"Not much" I mumbled

"I'm starting an investigation-"

"What are you a cop?" I chuckled and gasped as he tugged on my hair. I looked at him and he just smirked, "lean your head back" he said and I obeyed.

He washed the soap from my hair and I sighed looking at him. He looked at me making our eyes meet, "why did you think I wouldn't worry?" He asked running his fingers through my wet hair.

I shrugged standing there and he just stared at me intensely, "tell me"

Keep your panties on. Gosh.

I gasped as he slammed me against his chest, "I'm wearing boxers for your information" he growled in my ear and I rolled my eyes looking down at his boxers.

I gulped looking away blushing and Sarafina grinned at me wiggling her eyebrows.

"Answer me Jordyn"

"I just... I think you don't care-"

"What makes you think that?" He frowned and I just stared at him "seriously?" I said and he just stared at me.

"I've been... I've been trying lately" e muttered and I raised an eyebrow, "have you?-"

"Yes" he hissed staring down at me, I looked away feeling nervous making him sigh.

"Cut me some slack-"

"Are you kidding me?"

"I'm trying okay? And especially since what happened i'm going to try harder" he said and I tilted my head.

"Why now?" I frowned and he just looked down, "I thought I lost you" he mumbled.

'Aw he cares' Sarafina smiled

"Look I'm not good with dealing with emotions-"

"I can tell-"

"Let. Me. Talk" he growled making me sigh, I motioned zipping my lips to him and he ran his fingers through his hair.

"I've only ever know one emotion which was Anger of course. But lately since I've met you... You bring out other emotions in me and its..."

He struggled looking for a word but I can see him making a disgusted look shaking his head.

"You don't like it" I muttered and he shook his head, "I don't know how to handle it-"

"So scaring me is how to handle it?" I frown "it's the only thing I know. I don't even realize what I'm doing till afterwards. When I feel guilty as fuck" he sighed.

"Good" I muttered.

"But just know that I'm going to try harder... Though it may take some time cause... Well I'm new to this... Mate stuff" he said crinkling his nose making me chuckle looking down.

He grabbed my face between his hands and bent his head kissing me.

'Oh my' Sarafina winked grinning at me, I blushed kissing back putting my hands on his chest.

'Give him another chance?' Sarafina said with her puppy dog eyes.

Do I have a choice?

'Nope' she grinned making me wrap my arms around his neck deepening the kiss.

***

I walked down the stairs slowly going towards the kitchen to look for some food. I hugged myself walking down the hall and stopped when I passed Mason's office hearing him growl angrily.

"Answer the fucking question!" He spat angrily, "There's no need to yell at me" Lydia scoffed making me frown.

Lydia?

What's she doing in his office?

I leaned against the wall listening quietly, "Do you or do you not know who put the wolfsbane in her drink?" He growled making me look down. "No. But I'm glad the person did so. She's brainwashing you Mason. She's not your mate. I am. Why can't you see that-"

"Why can't you see that I don't fucking care about you? You're not my mate which I thank the gods for every fucking day. Jordyn is my mate and your Luna, so you better have some respect or else!" He spat with authority in his voice making me shiver.

"Or else what? That bitch deserves it Mason-"

I gasped when I heard her scream and a glass shatter, "don't you ever call my mate a bitch you fucking whore" he growled darkly making me tense.

"Mason stop! I can't breathe!" She whimpered crying, "I should kill you. You harmed my mate-"

"I didn't do it! I swear!" She cried out loudly, "Then who did?!" He roared making her cry out. "I don't know! I swear! I didn't see anyone do it!" She sobbed.

"You're the only person whose stupid enough to try and hurt what's mine" he growled making her cry.

"Please Mason. You know I love you. After all we been through you're choosing her over me?" She growled.

"You are in no position to growl at me. I can easily rip your fucking throat out. Say something about my mate one more time and I'll fucking kill you" he growled making me tense standing up straight.

"Mason please!" She gasped for air loudly making me gulp, he growled making her sob in pain. I quickly went to the door opening it revealing Mason holding Lydia up by her neck holding her tightly. She was clawing at his wrist with her face turning purple.

"Mason!" I said wide eyed, he looked at me quickly and frowned. "You're supposed to be on bed rest-"

"Put her down! You'll kill her!" I said wide eyed, "why do you care? She hates you. She tried to kill you and take you away from me" he growled.

"That doesn't mean she needs to die. Mason let her go!" I said as she began falling limp, "Mason!" I yelled out making him growl, he quickly let her go and she fell down gasping loudly holding her neck coughing loudly.

She gasped looking at him with tears in her eyes, "after everything we've been through-"

"You weren't special. You were just some easy whore who I was able to fuck my anger out on" he growled making her look down crying.

"You're banished from this pack" he said making her eyes widen. "Mason" I said going to him quickly, "either she's banished or I kill her" he growled at me.

"You don't even know if she did it or not" I said and he just looked at me with hard eyes. "Don't make her a rogue for something she probably didn't do" I said shaking my head.

"But-"
