A/N: Ask requested by miezmiez...nurse skills to the rescue! Thank you for your lovely review and idea and I am sure to implement your idea and be grateful for the positive feedback you've given me ^^ Also and additional thanks for the loyal readers and reviews, you are all my favorite people and I wish I could get you all a pony...but sadly I cannot, so all I can give you is more fluffy and sometimes not so fluffy stuff to read. Alas we can get to the Melody part of this story ;)
The darkness crowded his thoughts, he felt dead but every part of him burned and ached, Peter Hale must be in hell. He could hear an array of voices chatting and talking about his condition. Noises made his head ache, when he tried to speak his voice was cracked and dry as his tongue cleaved to his mouth. Finally he found the strength to open his eyes, the lights blinded him and all he could see was a blurry white. Once his vision cleared figures, no people, came into view, "Uhh," He moaned and coughed.
"Hi, my name is Dani, I'll be taking care of you," A woman's voice broke the silence he longed for.
He tried to make eye contact wit her but failed.
Dani looked down at her clipboard, "Peter Hale?" She mused, "Oh my god! Your Melissa's boyfriend!"
Peter closed his eyes, it pained him to much to hear her name, he didn't understand why she didn't just end his misery and heal herself from the curse.
"Does she even know what happened to you?!" Dani seem to hit hysteria, pausing she regained her composer, "Well, Peter currently you are in the ICU but were having you moved to the Burn Unit," She explained, "You are facing a rules of nine which means your entire body is burnt, but none of your organs miraculously does not seemed harmed. We are going to have to do some skin grafts, our team consists of a plastic surgeon, intensivist, chest physician, general surgeon, pediatrician, microbiologist, psychiatrist, nutritionist, physiotherapist and a social worker. Do you have any questions?"
Peter attempted to shake his head no but it hurt to much, he just wanted them to let him die.
Melissa stared at her reflection, her eyes glowed gold, her teeth were long and sharp and her nails had grown into claws.
'Knock! Knock! Knock!
"Come in," Melissa shrunk back down to her human form.
"Mom?" Scott opened the door slowly and quietly.
Melissa didn't say anything.
"Mom..." Scott hesitated, "I can't believe I'm saying this but you should go see him."
Melissa looked up at her son, her eyes were watery and she found herself unable to meet his gaze, "I should have listened to you Scott, you tried to tell me he was dangerous but I didn't listen."
"Then listen to me now," Scott paused, "I could hear his heartbeat, his feelings for you were genuine. I don't think he'd ever purposely hurt you."
"Scott he killed that girl!" She shrieked.
"Mom she was gonna kill me!" Scott couldn't believe he was actually defending Peter, "Kate has killed many, not just Peter's family, she almost killed Derek and me and I know she's killed others, she's a murderer."
"There are no excuses in life, only choices."
"Your right, his choice was to protect his pack, to protect you."
Tears raced down Melissa's face as she fell into her son's arms, she hated feeling weak and helpless, she always felt strong and unique around Peter but now she was back to being a single mom, but worst of all she was back to being alone. Looking up and drying her tears she took in a deep breathe, "I think I left something at the hospital."
Peter cried out in pain, yes his skin burned in the most inhumane way but what hurt more was the monster he had become. They way he had let Melissa down, and now he was left alone in suffering, waiting for Derek or Scott to come in and slit his throat to become Alpha was the only thing he hung onto.
"Peter?" Melissa's voice came out like honey, sweet and soothing.
Peter's eyes opened just to gaze upon her face.
"Peter, I am so sorry," She sobbed, "I love you and I can't imagine a day going by without you."
Melissa's lips were soft and seemed to fit his perfectly, like they were made for his. They were like butterfly wings that would ever so gently press against his and flutter, as though afraid to kiss him fully despite Peter knowing she easily could.
He felt forgiven, he felt alive, regardless the pain and regardless the previous heartbreak. Peter felt his muscles twitch from exhaustion, his limbs screaming for a break from the pain but he didn't care anymore. Often portrayed as tricksters and con artists, wolves have a family life that is more loyal and pious than most human relationships. Werewolves also, are portrayed as tricksters, con artists and most of all monsters in popular folklore, but Werewolves, like wolves, mate for life. Once their souls are entangled, once they share true love's kiss, once they acknowledge their love for one another they are bound to one another forever. An alpha male has his alpha female by his side, and they share dominance in the pack and Peter finally found his alpha female.
A/N: So I not only did some research on the Burns Unit but also on Wolves, I do hope you all are pleased and more Nurse Skills will be expressed in the next chapter so stay tuned to see that ^^ Also, if Peter is the Alpha does that mean when him and Melissa officially hook up will she become a literal Alpha Female?
