My head was pounding in pain and my eyelids felt so heavy as I tried to open my eyes. My body was in pain. With much difficulty, I opened my eyes and blinked slowly to get rid of the blurry vision.The plain white ceiling welcomed me. Slowly I looked around the room. I was on a soft bed. I slowly raised my hand where a cannula was attached. There was a pulse monitor beside my bed and a crease settled between my brows.I was in a hospital. This explains why everything was so white and the smell also. I scrunched my nose and breathed in slowly. Even breathing normally felt like a huge task for me.I blinked, muddled. Why was I in the hospital? Where's my father? Am I here because I've got a fever again? Where's mommy? They were supposed to be beside me. Why aren't they here? My throat was parched as if someone had rubbed it with sandpaper. I groggily looked at the glass of water on the side table. If I could just grab it but my body was too tired. I couldn't even move without feeling i
The next day I woke up a little late. Last night I slept well. I didn't know if it were because of the medicines or simply because I feel safe here knowing Jason would protect me.I was in my ward when the door was knocked once before it opened to reveal Beta Sebastian. But he wasn't alone, there were other pack members with him.Maybe they came to visit me and this small gesture by them warmed my heart."Luna, how are you feeling?" One of the pack members asked as I passed him a gentle smile."I'm getting better," I mumbled and they breathed a sigh of relief."We are so thankful to doctor Jason for saving your life. When Dr. Jason took you away. Stella opened her eyes and Alpha Liam also sent her to the hospital, even though she didn't want to go." Thomas said. Thomas has been working as a staff in the packhouse for three years now and he respects me a lot because I helped him financially when he needed money for his mother's treatment. I gave him my savings. I like to help my peopl
Cold. I felt so cold and scared when my eyes met with Liam's brown pools. With a shaky hand, I pushed his hand away and tried to sit up properly but pain shot through my body making me hiss. My arms were still hurting and I was taking a lot more time in healing because the damage he caused me was severe. Liam pulled the lever as he set my bed in a sitting position. I noticed the soft expression on his face as he came to sit beside me on the stool. My eyes bounced around the room and then at the door. I wonder where Jason was and how Liam got inside. I recalled he was there when I fell asleep. "A...April, I'm sorry," Liam said in a gentle voice and I refused to look at him or give him any response. "Please, forgive me. Last chance. Give me one more chance, baby. I love you, please," He pleaded, trying to hold my hand but I jerked it away. "I...I was drunk that night, April. Believe me, please. I saw you in Stella. I didn't know how that happened but it was a drunk mistake, please
Jason’s pov: I came back to the hospital after flogging Liam. I didn't feel bad about it. I know that f*cker deserved it. He inflicted emotional and physical abuse on my April. This mere flogging was nothing compared to what he made April go through. I hated it when I had to treat his wounds afterward because I'm a doctor so I simply asked the nurse to tend to his wounds. If it was up to me I would've flogged him to death. I found Beta Sebastian and other pack members in the ward talking to her. April's brows were furrowed as she listened to them attentively. I requested them to leave so April could rest. I made sure that she had her lunch before I left to check on my other patients and later I brought dinner for her. She still looked pale and weak as I fed her the soup. I smile every time her nose scrunches up with each spoon of bland soup. She didn't like it but it was healthy for her. She looks adorable when she makes that cute face. After some time she falls asleep. When
A week has passed slowly and I've gotten much better in these past few days. My arms are almost eighty percent healed, I can do my work on my own. The stitches were removed. I started eating on my own as well. But still, the ache in my heart from losing my baby is like a fresh wound and no matter how much time passes, it seems this pain would never go away. Liam hasn't accepted my rejection yet. I had expected him to accept it sooner but he hasn't done that yet. And I haven't seen him in the hospital since that night. Jason never left the hospital after that night's incident when Liam had shown up. Jason has even instructed the whole staff of the hospital to let him know if they see Liam in the hospital. I can see he was being extra cautious, all for me. He checks on me twice every four hours. Even though I assured him that I'll be fine. He still checks on me from time to time. Making sure that I was okay and taken care of. He takes care of all my meals making sure that my food is
"I don't know Beta, all of this is unfair to Luna." I heard Thomas say, making my heart ache at his words. "Stop calling her Luna, she has rejected our Alpha! I don't understand why she has to do that. Alpha Liam is in this condition only because of her. She should be more considerate. Liam was her mate. How could she reject him just like that." Sebastian said. "But, Alpha didn't do good to Lu… to her," Thomas tried to defend me. "No, I think she's just being ungrateful for leaving the pack like this." Sebastian gritted out. "I think Stella would be the only one who could convince Liam to accept this rejection. That's why I'll release her from jail," Sebastian said. "Yes, Stella could make Alpha agree," Thomas said as my stomach twisted up in knots. "After Alpha accepts this rejection then April will not work as a Luna of the pack anymore so it doesn't matter what she thinks or whatever she does," Sebastian said as Thomas agreed with that. My body was frozen on the bench as I g
Jason was grinning ear to ear. This was the first time I saw him beaming like this and I noticed his grin was wolfish. It was so alluring and gave him such a charming look. I looked away abruptly when I realized I'd been staring at him for too long. His smile affected me in ways it shouldn't have as my cheeks heated up. But his offer to come along with him had given me expectations of a new life. A life where I'd be free and happy. A place that I could create only by letting genuine people into my circle. I could surround myself with positivity. It would be like a fresh breath of air without toxicity. "I...I... never told this to anyone but Capital university was my dream which got buried due to the pack's responsibility," I mumbled softly, fidgeting with my food and biting my lower lip. I looked up feeling his gaze on me. Jason was peering at me with a smile that held sadness as if he could feel my pain in his soul. His ocean eyes held so much warmth that they engulfed me. "I know
I stumbled a step back but then I stopped. I don't need to be scared of him. He can't hurt me in front of all these people. Liam prowled toward me but I didn't step back this time. He stood in front of me gazing down at me as I held my breath. His eyes were bloodshot and there were dark circles under his eyes. He looked deranged. "Have you had enough? I know you are just having a tantrum and you still love me. It's time to come home with me." He said grabbing my hand, my brows furrowed as I snatched my hand out of his hold. It was ridiculous. Where did he get this confidence? I lost my baby because of him. I had to bear so much pain because of him. And he's saying I'm having a tantrum. "It's enough, Liam. Stop bothering me. I don't love you anymore. Don't you get it?" I said angrily and he shook his head adamantly. "I don't believe it. It's not possible." He said stepping closer into my personal space but I didn't back off because I'm not scared of him. "You love me, April. You
