I wake up to the most excruciating pain all over my body. The first thing I see are white walls. A strong smell of disinfectant passes through my nose. I look around me and I think I'm in a hospital. It'd explain the horrible smell and why I'm wearing a hospital gown.

I can't believe I survived. I really thought I was going to die. I'm wondering how I got to the hospital when I hear voices outside my door. There are none I recognize and the hospital doesn't look like our pack hospital. Where in God's name am I? The muttering stops and two people walk in. One is a doctor, and the other is my mate.

This is the first good look I'm getting of him. I couldn't see him because of everything that was happening. Now that I can—oh my—is he handsome. He has the most beautiful piercing blue eyes I've ever seen in my life. His nose is straight, and his lips are perfectly sized, all red and ready for me to kiss. His jaw is straight and sharp making him look like a Greek god. He has raven black hair. It's disheveled as if his hands have been running through it a lot of today.

"Hello dear, how are you feeling?" the doctor asks.

"I'm..." I try to speak but my throat is sore.

"Have some water. You've been asleep for a while so your throat must be sore," the doctor says, handing me a glass of water.

"Thank you," I say once I'm done downing the cup of water.

"Can you tell me your name?"

"Elizabeth Smith," I say, my voice lower than I was going for. I think my body is still exhausted from the attack.

"Alright, which pack are you from?"

"Dark Moon Pack. Why are you asking me these questions? Where am I?" I ask, getting confused with what's going on.

"Honey, you're in the Alpha King's territory. We need to inform your Alpha about your whereabouts."

I feel like my eyes are about to fall out of their sockets. How in God's name did I get here?

"What did you just say? Who brought me here?" I ask, confused.

"I brought you here," my mate says, speaking for the first time. He barely looks at me. He's been staring straight ahead as the doctor speaks to me.

"My Mom must be worried sick about me. I need to go back to my pack." My Mom, Matt and Chloe must be going out of their mind. Maybe not Matt. He did cheat on me. He'll be happy I'm gone. I feel ready to cry.

"You're not going anywhere," the doctor says.

"Why?"

"Because you're badly injured and you need all the rest you can get," the doctor says.

"At least let me call my Mom and tell her I'm fine."

"I'll inform your pack Alpha. He will inform your mother," my mate says.

"Thank you." I sigh, relieved.

"Since I have the information I need, I'll leave," he says, and walks out of the room. I didn't get to find out his name. The way he talks to me is so cold. I wonder why.

"You rest now. If you need anything don't hesitant to press that button," she says, pointing at the button close to the bed.

"Thank you."

"You're welcome, rest now," she says and walks out.

After the day I woke, I haven't see my mate again. It's been two weeks since I arrived at the hospital. I've seen only the doctor and a few nurses who take care of me. I was injured badly. It's taking time for Eva to heal my wounds.
