Chapter 19 Chapter nineteen

  Lucy's POV

  When I wake up, Asa is not sitting beside me like I expected.

  I look to my left and see another hospital bed beside me, Asa laying atop it.

  I rush out of bed as quickly as I can, careful not to move my healing neck. I look over

  Asa's body and see claw marks everywhere. He looks torn apart!

  Asa's eyes flutter open, and he gives me a small smile. "Hello, my love. Feeling better?" He asks with a croaky voice. I find water and pour him a cup, lifting it to his lips and tilting it slightly. After having a drink of water he says a quiet thanks.

  He looks at me knowingly, knowing I want an explanation.

  He explains everything. How he was in a battle with the Alpha and he almost lost. He came out victorious, meaning that he is now Alpha of the remaining members of the Red Claw Pack.

  After he is done explaining, I give him a gentle hug. "I'm so proud of you, Asa. I knew you could do it.

  "I love you, little mate," Asa whispers into my hair.
