Chapter 10: Chapter Nine Willow POV
I feel groggy as I come to. The lights are too bright and I hear hushed voices around me. 'Where am I? How did I get here? What the fuck happened?' I think to myself as I slowly blink trying to get my surroundings to focus. Finally my vision homes in on my father. "Dad?" I whisper, my voice hoarse.
"Hey sweetheart, mom went to get coffee. How you feelin'?" He shuffles closer to me and puts his hand against my cheek. He had been away in pack business for a few weeks. We didn't even know he would be home today. He looks handsome in his suit with his own dark curls and bright blue eyes. He smelled like home and I was glad to see him.
"My head kind of hurts and I don't really remember what happened. How did I get to the hospital? The last thing I remember…oh..the last thing I remember is yelling at Sloan. Ugh. He must think I'm really crazy now. Great."
Dad chuckles and grabs my hand, "You seemed to have slipped in the bathroom and hit your head hard on the cabinet. You were knocked out. Pack dr says you likely have a concussion. He will have to assess you now that you're awake." Dad taps lightly on the window leading out to the hospital to alert staff that I am conscious again. "Oh and Sloan? He's a mess. Thinks this is all his fault. May I ask why I found the Alpha's son holding your naked body in our home? Or is that too embarrassing for you to remember as well?"
Sighing heavily and rolling my eyes I reply, "Sloan is my mate, Dad. But I don't think I am the Luna he wants. He all but rejected me on my birthday. He shoved my wolf away and looked disgusted. But now he keeps pushing to talk and apologize. Honestly though? I just want to get out of here. I don't want to hang around somewhere I am not wanted. But I did promise the Alpha I would give it a month and see where I stood in Sloan's eyes."
Dad took a deep breath and nodded his head slowly and pensively. "Ah, that does explain a few things. Wow darlin, I didn't realize I had missed so much. I wish I had been here to help you navigate this better. Have you talked to your mom? What does she have to say?"
"You know mom, always the optimist" I say rolling my eyes again.
"Yeah, she is that. Well let's get the doctor in here to check you out and then we can worry about other things. I will say, Sloan has been calling the hospital nonstop but since you haven't marked him they won't tell him anything. Would it be okay if I called to let him know that you're alive at the very least?"
"Ugh. I guess it won't hurt anything. At this rate it may disappoint him." I grumble just as the pack doctor comes into my room with his chart and a nurse.
Dad steps out and let's the doctor examine me while he calls Sloan. Then I hear him arguing with mom in the hallway before they both come back in.
"Hey baby. Doctor says you have a mild concussion and will need some rest but otherwise everything checks out. You have to stay overnight for observation though." Mom says as she comes through the door. "I can stay with you if you'd like?"
"It's okay, Mom. I'm a big girl. I can handle one night in the hospital alone. Dad just got home and y'all should spend some time together"
Now mom rolls her eyes "we've had 20 years together, we could handle one night if you need me"
"Really mom, I'm fine. Go home and rest. You can be here first think in the morning to break me out. I promise"
