Chapter 15

ELI

"Is he going to be alright?" I heard a familiar voice.

"He's going to be fine. He is a Lycanthrope and its just wolfsbane coated bullet, he's a big boy he can take that without a problem. You're worrying too much and that's bad on your health. Remember, you need extreme rest also for the speed of your recovery."

"Y-you're right, He must be okay right? He is strong. I must believe him right? He can't leave me. I need him."

Those are the voices that I've heard earlier. Lina's soft voice is lingering in my ear. I can't wait to hear her more and hug her again.

I feel my body is getting warm and comfortable. Total opposite of what I feel when I get shot. My guess is wolfsbane. I know the effect of silver and this is worse than that. But tolerable nonetheless.

Where do they even find wolfsbane in the first place? That's dangerous to a wolfs health. If I'm not a Lycanthrope I must be in the brink of death right now. I will not have the chance to kiss Lina. To hug and protect my Lina.

Lina

I would do everything to save her. I will catch liters of wolfsbane just to keep her safe. Speaking of her. Is she alright? The last time that I saw her is when I passed out in front of my pack house. I hope they gave her medical support. She needs to be treated right which I'm sure Milly and the others are doing.

I slowly regain my focus and tried to open my eyes. I miss my Lina and can't wait to see her beautiful eyes.

But instead of opening my eyes to see what's around me, it result to me twitching the tip of my fingers. My fingers that are intertwined with someone's hands. Soft and feminine hand. Familiar and perfectly fitted on my own fingers.

With the sparks and tingles I automatically knew who.

With few times of trying I finally regained my strength and open my eyes only to be blinded by bright fluorescent light.

"Fuck" I groaned. How funny, that my first words waking up is a cuss.

I covered my eyes with my other arm and my view drifted to the beautiful lady sleeping soundly beside me. Her soft snores are the only sound that is heard on the clinic place like that I'm in.

Some of her hair are on her face. Her lashes looks so healthy and full. Her cheeks are not as pale as it is back on Jasen's house. Her soft pink plump lips are slightly parted and inviting.

Dang, when can I kiss those lips of hers? Lips of an angel indeed.

Thank goddess she's safe.

I let out a sigh of relief which seems to wake her up.

She slowly opened her beautiful eyes and scanned the room. It then settled into mine.

Her eyes turned into saucer like wide in shock. And the next thing I knew, I'm being pulled by a tight hug. And by tight. I meant real tight hug.

"Oh Eli! I'm so glad you're alright! Are you okay? Is something hurting? Tell me! Are you hungry? Thirsty? What? Do you want ice cream? Or coffee? Water! Maybe you need water? Oh no wait maybe do you need to pee? I-"

I chuckled at her ranting. She knew how to make me smile even without a minute of waking up. She truly is perfect for me.

"I'm fine Lina. You? Are you.. Alright? You aren't hurt are you?"

I trailed as my eyes travelled to look at her neck. Its still a bit red and swollen but it looks better.

"Are you kidding me?! you're seriously asking me that!" Her voice raising word by word as she sit on her bed putting both her bawled fists on her hips.

"You're the one here that acts like super man getting all the wolfsbane coated silver bullet and then running back here! You almost died!Let me see your injuries!"

She turned me around roughly causing me to wince due to the bullet injuries that are still in my back.

Its not healing as fast as I expected it to be since its a wolfsbane and a lot of it. My wolf can't heal it. So my body has to do it itself. I'm healing like an average human, maybe a bit faster but still slow for my liking.

I want to move normally and capable of things like what I do back then. Wolfsbane won't stop me.

"Oh my! I hurt you didn't I? I'm sorry! I shouldn't have forced you! Where does it hurt huh? Do you need to take pain medicine? Do I need to call Doctor Walters? Wait maybe you need a nurse! Nur-!"

She banters again but I quickly cover her mouth to prevent her calling the nurse. She's all I need now. All I want is us, together. No interruptions. Only her and me together.

"Lina, baby, I'm fine look!" I flexed my muscles in front of her unamused stare.

I cupped her cheeks and leaned in closer to her. "Don't give me that. You know I would save you even if it cost my life."

"B-but"

"Shh"

I placed my fingers on her lips.

"I should've done something!"

I grinned as I think of something. "Well you could've done something now."

I wiggle my eyebrows at her initiating something naughty but of course its as a joke.

"Wha-y-you!"

I saw her face became tomato red as she began hitting me with her palm. I shielded my body with my arms laughing at her failed attempts of hurting me.

"Hahaha! If you should've seen your face"

I continue to laugh until my stomach hurts. But later I saw the side of her lips going up into a smiling position.

I miss her smile. Getting shot by a wolfsbane is definitely worth it.
