———A S H E R———

A groan escaped my lips as I came to my senses, my head pounding as I sat up.

I unconsciously raised my hand, rubbing my temple as I finally started to open my eyes.

It had felt like I had just woken up from a 1000 year nap.

The bright lights were almost blinding, making getting used to them almost impossible.

I forced myself to take a breath before looking around the all white room, the cleanliness of the room shocking me.

The room was large, larger than any other room I've ever been in.

It looked like I was in a hospital but there were no doctors or nurses wandering around, I couldn't even see any other patients.

Although, the room still somehow managed to look like a well taken care of hospital.

The room I was in was pure white, everything looking clean and tidy.

There were a bunch of hospital beds littering the floor, each one having a curtain that could go all the way around the small beds.

I jumped in my spot when I saw Benedict sitting on a small chair beside me, his face relaxed as he remained slumped in the chair.

His arms were placed on the arms of the chair while his legs remained open, my eyes soon catching on the bump in his jeans.

I licked my dry lips as I looked at my mate, my mouth as dry as my lips were.

Doesn't he look delicious?

I jumped as the voice invaded my mind, rolling my eyes before finally responding.

Where have you been? I asked, ignoring Alex's question.

I took a vacation He said simply

Well, I'm so glad you decided to 'take a vacation' without telling me I answer before blocking him out.

I let out a breath before looking down at what I was wearing, my eyebrows furrowing as I took in the all-white hospital gown that was obviously way too big for me.

My eyes darted to my mate's sleeping figure before I lifted up the hospital gown, my eyes eventually drifting to the wound on my side.

I cringed at the sight of my wound, it was obvious that it was infected.

My skin was obviously irritated and very much swollen, but there was no longer any blood that was dried to my skin and there was no longer any blood leaking from the deep cut so I could deal with it being swollen and a tad bit irritated. There wasn't even any more puss leaking out of the wound, it was gone along with the blood.

It seemed like most of the blood that was previously flowing out of the cut was wiped away.

My skin was red, very red, but it wasn't bloody.

It didn't even hurt that much anymore, there was no longer a sharp pain that flooded me every time I moved. I just felt numb.

I sighed before taking in the wound, my eyes focusing on the several stitches I was now sure I had received.
