章 12: Chapter 12 Mate Bonding

Rhea

I woke up feeling much better than the previous day. My muscles didn’t hurt as much and I felt calmer. I reached out to stretch and felt someone there. I opened my eyes and realized instantly that my vision had cleared overnight.

“Thank you, Doctor Bauer,” I mumbled. Someone groaned and shifted in the bed.

I looked over to see Gerard and Lionel on my left, and Zek and Dylan on my right. All four of them were in bed with me, fast asleep. I couldn’t help but wonder how long I had been asleep.

What had Doctor Bauer said to them? Was this just because of my condition? I knew they certainly wouldn’t stay when they knew I was better.

I took a deep breath and tried to stay calm. How was I going to get out of here? I sat up and saw some of them stirring.

“Good morning, how do you feel?” Zek asked in a groggy tone.

“I’m fine. What are you all doing here?” I asked.

“What do you mean?” Gerard asked. “You’re our mate.”
