Chapter 76: Book Two- Her Alpha Savior- Chapter Twenty-Eight
Chapter Twenty-Eight
Josephine
I find myself walking around in the darkness again. Why does this keep happening. I find myself walking around in the darkness and then when I take another step, I find myself in the same dense forest as before this time I am near what looks to be a field full of flowers and tall trees and the most beautifully green grass I have ever seen.
“Hello? Is anyone here?”
I manage to keep walking through the trees, and I come to an open field, and I falter on my feet for a moment when I see a dark shadow laying near the water. I’m hesitant to keep going but the object I see looks so calming and I feel the want to keep going and come closer to this thing laying there.
When I get a little closer the object moves and turns its head towards me.
“There you are. I was wondering when you would get here.”
Mila? What am I doing here? Did you call me here?”
“No Jo, Mother Selene called us here.”
I walk a little closer to Dani and I see her beautiful honey colored fur with purple flecks spread throughout and I forget what we look like in wolf form, even though it has been a while since we last shifted. Oh, how I have missed her.
“It’s alright, Josie, come sit with me, we have much to discuss.”
I sit beside her, and I have an urge to stroke her fur and when I reach out to her, I hesitate for a moment, but she places her head under my hand, and I begin to run my fingers through her fur, and I can’t keep the smile off on my face when I feel how soft her fur feels I have never been with Dani like this before and I must say that it feels a bit odd. I never knew that our fur could do this. The way it sorts of glows when I touch her. I can also see the true beauty in her fur and in her face. I open my mouth to try and talk to her.
“Wha…What am I doing here?”
“The Goddess has brought you here to see me so we can get to know each other in a different sort of way. This so different compared to when you’re in the dream realm and we connect with each other.”
“So why now. Why could you not help heal me and why could I not tell anyone else about you?”
“That is something I don’t have the answer to Josie. Only the Goddess knows why you could not tell anyone about me. But everything will be okay now. When you wake up, things will be so much better.”
“What do you mean?”
“Things are going to change for the better Josie. Once you wake up.”
“I still don’t quite understand what you mean.”
“You will when the time comes. For now, you need to go back and wake up. It’s time.”
“Wait. One more question, Is Max our mate?”
“All will be revealed when you wake up Josie.”
“It’s been a pleasure to see you, Mila.”
“You too Josie. You will hear from me again; I just need more time to heal us.”
I find myself laying with my head along her back and I continue to run my fingers through her fur, and I can’t help but love the feeling of calm that comes over me when I am here with Mila, the purring that comes from her lulls me into a slumber and before I know it, I am feeling myself fall asleep.
After I fell asleep with Mila, I felt very peaceful and calm. I felt relaxed. Before I knew it, I heard voices and I was brought out of my sleep by a very familiar voice, and I felt anxious at first but then I start to have this feeling deep in my soul that kept me calm. Then I felt these tingles on my hand and when I opened my eyes and looked around the hospital room, I saw so many flowers and balloons, they were in the colors of pinks and blues and greens and purples. There were roses and lilies, along with daffodils and hibiscus flowers. I have never seen so much color in one room before. It was beautiful.
I kept looking around the room more and I saw Sarah standing on one side of my bed and she smiled at me and wished me a happy birthday and gave me a gentle but loving hug. I told her thank you and continued to look around the room and when I met a figure sitting in the chair next to my bedside this giant of a man that would make me look like a mouse, and when my eyes traveled up and I was met with beautiful blue eyes and dark brown hair, I felt a tingle in the back of my mind. I tried shaking it loose, but I couldn’t figure out what it meant. This figure gave me such a warm and gentle smile that I couldn’t resist giving one back. But when I remembered what I heard last night before I talked to Mila, I now realized what those tingles could be, but I still wasn’t completely sure.
“Hello Alpha. What brings you here this morning?”
“Hey there Josie, I just wanted to come by and wish you happy birthday and give you a few flowers and balloons.”
“Thank you, Alpha, but this is way more than a few.”
“Well, I wasn’t sure what your favorites were so I figured I would bring you one of each.”
“That is very kind of you Alpha, but you didn’t have to do that.”
“Please, Josie. Call me Max. I have told you before, I want to hear you call me Max. Please?”
I give a roll of my eyes and try to hide the smile that graces my lips and the blush that shows on my face when he says he likes to hear his name off my lips.
“Fine. Max, this is more than just a few. But thank you, they are beautiful.”
“So are you. – I mean, uh..How are you feeling today Josie?”
Did he just call me beautiful? What is going on with him lately. He hasn’t paid attention to me hardly at all ever. Then suddenly, the last year it has been more frequent, and then the last few weeks has been more and more, then he comes up with that lame…but cute excuse to need my help to study. I wonder if it was just an excuse to hang out with me more.
“I’m doing okay. I feel a bit off today, but no pain at all which is kind of odd, but I don’t know how to explain it.”
Before he can say anything else the doctor comes in with the nurse right behind her.
“Good morning, everyone. OH MY! Someone went all out this morning with flowers and balloons. Is today a special occasion or something?”
The doctor noticed all the flowers and balloons as soon as she walked in. But anyone would have to be blind to not notice when they walk in here. I have a smile on my face when tell her what today is.
“Yes, today is my eighteenth birthday and I guess the Alpha and my friend Sarah here wanted to fill my room with color.”
Sarah jumps in and makes sure that I know she only brought the lilies, and the rest is from Alpha Max. Then the doctor manages to ask me if I ‘m feeling okay today, and I tell her the same thing I told Max and Sarah. She has a look of confusion on her face, but then she asks me something that makes me thinks for a moment.
“Have you gotten your wolf yet or noticed anything odd this morning?”
