Chapter 12: Chapter twelve- Wounds

Adira Skylar's Pov:

I took Lancelot inside. He kept groaning. He even growled at me when I accidentally touched his wound. He was looking too pale. His eyes were extremely dark. I laid him down on the bed and quickly went to bring the first aid box. Setting down the first aid box, I went to the boom to wet a towel. Coming out I sat beside him. His shirt was fully red with blood. I was worried.

"Lancelot let's go to the hospital, please. You are not looking well. " I told him softly.

"No can do, Adira. You do the aid thing. I will be okay. Just stop the bleeding, darling. No hospitals, please. They will know I'm a wolf." He said holding my hand.

I nodded understanding. I started to unbutton his shirt I softly removed his shirt. Taking the wet towel, I started to clean his wound. I accidentally pressed hard on the wound. He growled at me again. I apologized. It was a deep wound. A bite mark. I looked at him. "Lancelot, who did this to you? " I asked him still trying to clean the wound. "You don't need to know. "He told me sternly. I looked at him in disbelief. Didn't he tell me I was his soulmate? Was he supposed to hide things from me? Adira, why are you being angry? You didn't want to have anything with him anyway. "Suits you well. Don't tell me." I told him. Being angry and not focusing, I pressed on the wound again too hard. This time he barked at me. I got scared and threw the towel at his face. "Ow, what is wrong with you? This is how you treat a patient? Stop pressing on my wound, you stupid human." He yelled at me in pain."Then stop barking at me, you asshole." I yelled back. "How do I not bark? It's hurting like hell!"He yelled again."Just take a deep breath or something."I told him not to find words."TAKE A DEEP BREATH? It feels like my insides are being ripped out!" He shouted and finished with a growl."Then stop yelling and let me do my work! Do not make a noise. I will be gentle I promise." I said softly this time not yelling.

I took the towel from him and cleaned the wound softly and slowly. Thank God it didn't need stitches because I didn't know how to stitch. I put medicine after cleaning the wound and bandaged it nicely. He was fast asleep. I looked at his body. He had cuts everywhere. Old deeper cuts. I didn't notice it the other night. Seeing those, I felt something in my heart. I touched them unknowingly and caressed them. I stood up from bed and went to the bathroom to clean myself I took a shower and came out. This time wearing a dress. I went to the kitchen turning off the lights of my room to let him sleep. Making some food, I took my laptop to finish some of the assignments which are thee due this week. I laid down on the sofa with my laptop covering the food on the table.

After few hours, I finished my work and got up to check on Lancelot. I entered my bedroom and turned on the lights. He was waking up "How are you feeling?"I asked him seeing he woke up fully. "don't eyebrows don't."He said trying to chuckle but instantly groaned because of his wound in the stomach. He looked at me "Come here."

"Why?"

"Just come here, Adira."

"No. You are gonna bark at me again ."

Lancelot groaned at my response. And eyed me to go towards him. "Thank you for not sending me to the hospital." He told me holding my hand when I sat on the bed.

"Well, I was enjoying the sight of your blood. It brought out your hair and eye color." I told him sarcastically. He tried to laugh again but failed to do so. I smiled. He smiled back.

His smile made me think there were no monsters in this world, even if there was he won't let them touch me.
