Chapter 26 Chapter 26
MORGAN'S POV
I woke up to the same sounds that I woke up to several days earlier. After I was beaten in the alley. I didn't open my eyes yet, they felt really heavy and I knew that I had been badly hurt.
Things started coming back to me in little pieces. The rogue attack, and my mother being in the trailer when they attacked.
But then I heard two voices speaking over me, and I felt someone holding my hand.
"I don't care if you are her mate. Someone should have told me about all of this." Mom demanded.
"I am your Alpha. I don't need to inform you of anything. Don't forget your place here just because I showed your daughter some kindness tonight." Alpha Logan said, sounding very demanding.
"Don't speak to my mother like that." I croaked out.
"Morgan." Mom said, coming closer to me.
I finally opened my eyes and my mother was on the right of me and Alpha Logan was on the left of me. He was the one holding my hand.
"Do you remember what happened?" He asked.
"The rogues." I said. And I looked back at the machine that was monitoring me and the blood bag and IV bag that was hanging there.
"How bad?" I asked.
"You've got 102 stitches on your back. That's why you're on your side." Mom said. And I felt behind me to feel the pillows that were propping me up so I didn't lay on my back.
"You told her?" I asked, looking at Alpha Logan.
"Yeah. She knows everything." He said, leaning back on his chair, but not letting go of my hand.
"I wish you told me." Mom said.
"You know why I didn't." I said.
"I know. But you were attacked and in a coma and no one told me." She said.
"Mom. You work so hard and you cry yourself to sleep every night. You think that I can't hear you, but I can. The last thing you need is to worry about me." I said.
"It's my job to take care of you. You're not meant to take care of me." She said.
"You haven't been well since dad died." I said.
"Don't worry. I'll be fine. I'm not going to leave you." She said.
"You're miserable. I wasn't going to make things worse for you." I said.
"Honey, don't worry about me. You know that we will both survive this." She said. "I have to get to work now." She said, leaning down and kissing me on the cheek.
She looked over at Alpha Logan before she got up and left the room.
I put my head back on the pillow and I closed my eyes for a little while, and I must have dozed off again.
When I woke up Alpha Logan was still sitting there, holding my hand. But I just laid there staring at him. I didn't know what to say to him anymore.
He always has to prove that he outranks me, and that he could punish me whenever he wants to. But then he sits by my hospital bed for hours, helping me heal.
I didn't know what to say to him most of the time because he's so back and forth about the whole thing.
Does he want to be my mate or does he want to stay with Penelope. I know that her Alpha uncle has something to do with this.
"You look like you've got a lot on your mind." Alpha Logan said.
"You could say that." I said.
"Anything I can help with?" He asked.
"Probably not." I said.
"Why not?" He asked.
"Because I'm trying to figure you out." I said. And he silently nodded his head.
He knew exactly what I was talking about. The whole going back and forth bullshit.
"Was Jude killed?" I asked.
"Yeah. He's dead. But I'm sure there's plenty more out there to take his place." Alpha Logan answered. "Probably. I didn't want any of those rogues getting away."
