AY WHHHAAAAAT?! (O,O) Oh ya baby, you read me right. I got me a sequel in the making,
and Ya'll know its gonna be just as lengthy as this baby here. ;-)
CHAPTER 24
Bella's P.O.V
I didn't even ask Paul if it was good news or bad. I just heard Sam's name and took off. But if it were bad….Paul would have stopped me, right? No one got in my way as I rushed down to the hospital wing, In fact they all pretty much parted like the red sea. If I wasn't in such a hurry I would have thought it a bit creepy. But right now I didn't really care. Its like I have tunnel vision and that vision was to go straight to the Pack Hospital. That is until a familiar little boy starts yelling for me.
"Belly! Hey Belly!" For the first time ever in my life, I was torn between stopping to go to Lucas like I always did when he was calling for me. Or ignore it and continue on and go see Samuel. My neck pulsed, telling me to go to Sam, But my familial instincts pushed me to my brother. I tried to ignore the achingly painful clenching in my heart and the pulsing in my Mating Tattoo.
"W-whats up kid?" My breath comes out in short pants as LuLu runs up to me. He is bouncing from foot to foot, Kim and Jared slowly following behind him at a more reasonable pace. I smile fondly over to the mated couple. They have truly been a huge help lately with my baby brother. I make a mental note to plan out a special thank you to the couple. Maybe a nice date night for the two. With Sam being unconscious I've been kind of floating by the hems of my skirts -so to speak- and it's not fair of me to do that to the couple...or to my wonderful, sweet baby brother.
"Kim said that I can start school next week and finally meet kids my age that live here!" He rushes out, cheeks red and eyes shining so bright they look like polished smoky quartz. His smile was infectious, causing my own to spread. "Wow, baby that's great! How about you and I go shopping this weekend for supplies?" my eyes kept shifting towards the location of the Pack Hospital. I felt terrible for making Sam wait, what if something was seriously wrong?
Kim seems to notice my agitation and steps towards LuLu, wrapping him up in her arms.
"Hey, you know what, I own you an Ice Cream don't I. I lost our bet after all and I think the sweet shop is still open in town. Want to go get one?" LuLu's eyes perk up immediately as he begins pulling Kim away. Totally ignoring me and the reason he ran over to me. I send her a grateful smile before starting to run off. I ran faster than I'd ever have before. My legs protest against the strenuous effort, but I really wanted and needed to see Sam now.
I nearly stumbled and fell when I glanced over my shoulder to see Paul running alongside me through the halls. Just looking like he was out for a casual morning jog. He wasn't even out of breath! Stupid werewolf supernatural stamina, It just wasn't fair! Paul effectively runs up ahead of me, slowing when we round the corner and come up to the Pack hospital. Paul opens the door for me and we both run inside the Wing.
"WHERE IS SHE!? Sam's voice echoes through the Hospital halls, it gives me a sudden boost of energy.
I let out a grateful sigh. He was awake!
"Alpha, there was an issue with a rogue and-"
"WHAT?!" Sam interrupts whoever was talking to him. I swear my heart was going to beat out of my chest at just the thought of him being awake finally. The sound of his voice was doing wonderful things to my body already, it was almost euphoric. I was just down the hall from his room now, I could feel myself being pulled to him like a magnet. My entire body felt like it was thrumming with this ancient magical energy as I got closer. I was just about to open the door to Sam's room when it went slamming against the wall, Sam appearing in a rush, pulling out wires and pushing off nurses.
His hair was messy on the top of his head and his chocolate eyes are wild as he locks gazes with mine. I could hardly focus. My entire mind went into overdrive as he stood there in a loose hospital gown, one shoulder of the gown had slipped off him showcasing the left side of his pecs and part of his toned stomach. My eyes move up his body to land on his smoldering eyes, trying to decide what I should do next.
"Bella." He breaths
Tears I hadn't realized collecting in the bottom of my eyes, fell down my cheeks the second my name leaves his lips. I try to move, to run towards the man I love but I couldn't. I was frozen, drinking in the sight of my mate. He was okay, he was really okay!
Sam moves fast towards me, almost falling against the opposite wall when he collides with me. My feet dangle in mid air as he picks me up, staring deeply into my eyes. He opens his mouth, ready to say something, but before he can, I snap out of my frozen state and fling my arms around him, hugging him as tightly to me. I bury my face in his neck.
"Don't you dare do that ever again to me!" my voice muffled by his shoulder, but judging by the tightening of his arms around my upper body, he most definitely heard me. Someone clears their throat before he can respond. I don't even make a move to let go of him. Is it clingy? Yes.
Do I care? Hell No.
"Alpha, glad you're awake. The pack will be relieved." Paul says with clear relief in his voice.
"My not a good substitute Alpha. They need you." I mumble, finally pulling my face away from his neck to look at him. His eyes hold mine in concentration, eyebrows furrowed. I have a feeling he is going to say something, I can feel it.
"Alpha, we have a rogue who knows who's behind the atta-"
"Nope. No. No work. He just woke up. He needs to take it easy." I say, wiggling out from Sam's tentacle hold on me, straightening out my bunched up clothes. Paul and Sam both stare at each other but I know better. I know they are mind linking. I slap my hand on Sam's chest, ignoring the tingles that were coming back and the warming of his silky sink under my palm.
"I said No, Samuel." I say, crossing my arms over my chest trying to look as intimidating as I could. Whether I succeeded or not is a whole other story. Sam smiles a breathtaking, pantie dropping smile that has my breath getting caught in my throat and I forget what I was trying to prove. His eyes...and that sculpted jaw...and holy fuck that chiseled chest of his. I just want to touch every part of him. What am I thinking?! He just woke up and I'm already lusting after him. God I'm a horrible person.
Sam's eyes get that far off look, breaking me from his hypnotizing spell and I remember what I was trying to accomplish. Stupid sexy mate distracting me then not listening to me. I start to pout.
"The pack will survive one more day without their Alpha. You need to rest. Now, get your ass up to our bedroom and relax for the rest of the night, I won't take care of you," As soon as the words leave my mouth his eyes refocus back on me, a startled expression appearing on his face. I raise my eyebrows at him and smirk, challenging him to deny my offer. My breath catches as I'm suddenly thrown over his shoulder, breath whooshing out of me and hair blinding me from seeing anything.
"Paul, I need to take it easy for the rest of the day. Set up a pack meeting tomorrow morning and don't disturb us unless it's an absolute emergency...got it." Sam nonchalantly states over his shoulder as he makes his way down the hall to the front of the Hospital. I try with all my might not to focus on his extremely, tight bubble ass that was right in my face. A sudden urge to lean forward and take a bite out of it washes through me. I have to clamp my jaw tight to stop myself.
"Yes, Alpha." I could hear the smirk in Paul's voice. It makes me roll my eyes, a snappy comeback on the tip of my tongue but Sam practically runs out of the hospital doors and over to the kitchen where he asks Emily to make us some lunch and a bag of snacks and drinks. I take deep breaths trying to stamp the dizziness. "Um, Sam. I'm starting to get dizzy." I mumble. Sam chuckles, giving my ass a harsh little smack that ended in a bit of a butt-cheek pinch. I squeak out in surprise before he loosens his hold on me and slides me down his body and proceeds to place me on the counter while we wait. Soon Emily dashes over to us, holding a picnic basket out for me. I grab it as Sam picks me back up, carrying me bridle style over to the elevators. I press the up button for him; it dings and we walk inside, pressing the top floor button...our floor...our home.
Sam never put me down. Even when I demand it about a hundred times that I could walk. Though If I'm being completely honest, I didn't want him too, I loved being in his strong arms. Being held so tightly against his chest….God it felt amazing. I was so overjoyed he was awake and doing good.
"I missed you so much Sam. You have know Idea how so." I mumble into his neck as I hug my arms tighter around his neck.
"You have no idea, Kitten." He says as he walks us off the elevator and down the hall. He somehow managed to open the bedroom door and close it without even jostling me or dropping the basket of food. He walks over to the bed and gently sets me down on top of the covers. We never break eye contact as he reaches and takes the basket out of my clutching hands, setting it on the floor then leans over me, ever staring intently into my eyes. So many emotions were swimming in those dark chocolate pools. They were the only thing I could focus on, his hovering over me….eyes blazing down at me.
His expression made me feel like I was the most precious thing in this world to him.
Sam leans even close to my face, our lips almost touching and when he whispers "I love you, Bella." and trying to close the gap between us but I stop him when I bring my finger up to his lips. Making him wait a little longer. Sam gave a disgruntled sound, making me chuckle and smirk at him.
But he needed to know how I felt about him, I needed him to know and if he kissed me right now I'd never be able to tell him due to being so distracted. I suck in a deep calming breath, with my eyes closed tightly shut tell him. "I love you too, Sam." When I opened my eyes his entire face was light up and I couldn't hold it back anymore.
I smash my lips on his. Want. Need. Passion. Hunger. And Love. These were all things that I tried to put into my kisses.
