Chapter 21
Kai's point of view
When I wake up I try with all my strength to open my eyes. And they do. I see that I'm in a white hospital room and Embry's sitting in a chair asleep holding my hand. I move his hair out of his face and suddenly his eyes are open.
"Kai?" he asks sleepily.
"Hi," I respond and he smiles.
"Oh I'm so happy you're okay!" he exclaims and I smile. He sits on the bed and takes my hands to kiss them.
"I missed you," I say.
"I missed you too," he says.
"Why in the world did you leave your house?!" he asks a little mad.
"Like I said I missed you and couldn't stand to be away from you anymore," I say.
"Why didn't you take your car?" he asks.
"I wasn't thinking, all I wanted was to see you," I say and he nods sighing. It's quiet until he frowns.
"I broke my promise," he says.
"What?" I ask confused.
"This ring, I promised you I'd keep you safe, but I didn't," he says.
"Embry it was my fault so don't blame yourself," I say.
"Kai you almost died because of me," he says.
"No I died because of my actions, but you saved me," I say.
"Why didn't you tell me you were sick?" he asks.
" I didn't want you to worry," I sigh.
"Kai you were really sick," he says.
"I know," I say.
"You should've told your father," he says.
"I know, I'm sorry," I say.
"It's alright, all that matters now is that you're alright," he says and I nod.
"Hey when I was out I think I could hear you and my dad," I say.
"Really?" he asks.
"Ya, did my dad say we could be together?" I ask and he smiles.
"Yes he did," he says and I smile. I pull Embry close and kiss him. It's our first kiss in a week! His warmth spreads through my body and makes me warm and feel complete. I have my soul mate back.
Embry's point of view
I'm so relieved that Kai's okay! The doctor says that she can come home tomorrow if nothing happens over night which they don't expect to happen. Everyone's seen Kai since she woke up and they're all happy to see her alright. Her shoulder is healing and will be completely healed in two weeks. Kai's father has taken down all the security stuff and given Kai and Emma their things back. He's apologized to both Kai and I and we've forgiven him. I'm now heading back to the hospital to see Kai. I had patrol for an hour but I didn't want to, Sam commanded me though so I had too. But it gave a chance to get somethings for Kai. The pack had gotten her a basket of flowers, a big teddy bear, and balloons saying get well soon. So I decided to get her some Krispy Kreme donuts, something from Starbucks and a stuffed wolf.
Kai's point of view
Since Embry's on patrol Emma, Leah and Seth are here in my room with me.
"Are you happy to go home tomorrow?" Seth asks.
"Yes I can't wait to get back to my own room!" I say relieved. They chuckle at me but stop when the door opens. I smile as Embry walks through the door.
"Really Embry?" Leah asks Embry referring to the stuffed wolf in his hand. Seth laughs as Embry growls lowly.
"I think it's perfect," I say and he smiles. He places it on my bed and hands me Krispy Kreme donuts and a strawberries and creme from Starbucks.
"You're the best," I say and kiss his cheek.
"Could you share those donuts with your favorite sister?" Emma asks with puppy dog eyes.
"Mine!" I say and she frowns.
"I'll tell dad," she says and I sigh offering her one.
"What about us?" Seth asks and I groan handing him and Leah one too.
"Here Embry," I say and hand him one. He smiles and takes it.
After breakfast Seth and Leah leave for patrol.
"I'm gonna go see Brady," Emma says and Embry's eyes widen.
"I don't think that's a good idea," Embry says.
"Why?" Emma asks confused.
"He's sick," Embry says.
"He was fine a few days ago," Emma says.
"Well he caught a bug," Embry says.
"Okay then, I guess I'll go see Jessie, see ya guys," she says and leaves. Embry sighs and I look at him.
"What's up with Brady?" I ask.
"He's going to phase," he says and my eyes widen.
"So young?" I ask shocked.
"We're shocked too but it's because the leeches who came after you triggered it in them," he says.
"Them?" I ask.
"Ya, Collin Littlesea is going to phase too," he says.
"You guys are going to keep an eye on them right?" I ask.
"Yes," he says.
"Can you watch Emma and make sure she stays away from him?" I ask.
"I'll make sure she doesn't get hurt," he says.
"Thank you," I say and he nods.
For the rest of the day I watch TV or movies with Embry. I fell asleep around eight and didn't wake up until nine the next day. But now I can leave! My shoulder's wrapped and in a sling so I won't hurt it anymore. Embry's taking me to Emily's since dad's at work.
We pull up to the house and everyone piles out to see me. I get out and hug everyone.
"How are you feeling?" Emily asks me.
"Okay," I say and she nods. I follow everyone inside and to the living room. Embry sits down on the couch and I sit in his lap.
"Are you hungry?" Emily asks us.
"A little," I reply.
"Yes," Embry says and I giggle.
"Muffins will be ready in ten minutes," she says and we nod.
"When are we going to tell your mother about us?" I ask Embry and he sighs.
"Anytime is going to be bad," he says.
"If we tell her the secret she'll understand better," I say.
"I don't want her in danger though," he says.
"She won't be Embry, the pack will protect her," I say.
"I just don't know," he says and I rub his back.
"It'll be alright," I say.
"She won't understand and think I'm crazy," he says.
"If she sees you then she won't," I say.
"I'll be right with you and everything will work out, I promise," I say and he nods kissing my temple.
I spend the whole day at Emily's with the pack and have a good time with them. Around six Embry decides he should take me home.
"I made you and your family some food so you don't have to cook," Emily says handing Embry a bowl of food.
"You didn't have to do that Emily, but thank you," I say and she nods. We hug and then I follow Embry out to his truck.
