Chapter 89: Book Two- Her Alpha Savior- Forty-One

Chapter Forty-One

Josephine

The next time I wake up, I hear beeping in the background, and I just wish someone would shut the damn beeping off. I just want to go back to sleep, but then I start to remember everything that happen recently, and my heart starts to race, and I try to open my eyes, but when I do, I need to close them back again because of the bright lights.

Then I hear voices around me talking about how I am trying to wake up and how the lights need to be turned down.

There is only one voice I recognize right away and I try again to open them and when I do, it’s easier to keep them open, someone must have dimmed the lights because when I am able to open my eyes all the way they instantly go to the gorgeous man standing by my bedside and he gives me a look of relief, like he is happy to see me awake and I am so happy to see him too.

“Max.”

“Hey there love, you had me worried there for a while.”

“I’m sorry. I’m so happy to see you. I thought you wouldn’t get to me in time.”

“I almost didn’t, when I saw you in that chair and when I saw you slump over the way you did, I thought the worst thing happened and I…I thought I lost you.”

“What aren’t you telling me max? Why would you think you lost me?”

“Well Jo, when we finally got to you, the witch sliced you open pretty good, she took that dagger she has and stabbed you right where your heart is supposed to be.”

“What are you saying Max?”

“Jo, babe. She tried to kill you. If she would have gone one inch to the right, she would have gotten your heart. I think with her being in such a hurry to get rid of you she wasn’t paying close enough attention and just plunged into your chest. When you slumped over the way you did, it was…I think due to shock and some blood loss. When I saw the dagger in your chest like it was, I thought for sure she got your heart. I didn’t know for sure until we got you here and the doctors took a closer look.”

I am in shock, I thought for sure that witch had killed me, I guess I didn’t realize she didn’t hit my heart, but I mean who would really notice with the type of treatment, but I am just happy to be alive and be back with Max, and Sarah and the rest of his family. Now I need to focus on getting better and getting back to the packhouse so we can move on with our lives together.

“Max, where are we exactly?”

“We are at a pack hospital with an ally pack, until you are well enough to travel you will be staying right where you are. We are being well taken care of by Alpha James and his pack members. He was the one that noticed you were in the area when we sent him a photo of you. He was able to help get you out as well. We even caught the witch that took you along with her rogues, they are currently being transported to our pack and going to be put in the dungeon until you are well enough help me decide their punishment.”

“I already know what I want to do.”

“Josie, we have plenty of time to figure it out when the time comes. Right now, I just want you to get some rest and get better, we will decide what to do when we get back home.”

“Max, I know what I want to do with them already.”

“Are you sure Josie? Why don’t you take some time to think about it and when we get back home, we will talk about it, and if your still sure that is what you want to do, then we will take care of it.”

I wonder if Max already knows what I want to do, he is talking to me like he thinks he knows already. I guess there wouldn’t be any harm in really thinking about what I want to do with the people that took me. I know I won’t change my mind, but I guess I can humor Max, I know he is trying to protect me and make sure I know what I want to do.

“Okay, Max. I’ll think it over while I am here, and we can make the final decision when we get home.”

“Good. I just want to make sure you know what you are doing. I don’t want you to make any rash decisions then come to regret it later.”

“I understand max and thank you for everything.”

“Your welcome love. I just want to take care of you and make sure we make the right decisions.”

“I know, Max.”

After I sit and visit with Max and his parents a little more, along with talking to Sarah, I begin to feel sleepy again, and then Max makes the decision to send everyone back to the ally packhouse so I can sleep more, and he also tells me that he is going to be right by my side the whole time.

I try to reach out to my wolf, but I don’t get a response and I take it as just her trying to get better and how she is quiet to help me heal faster. I also tell myself that she will be back with me very soon.

I feel myself falling into a deep sleep with my hand enveloped in Max’s and just before I fall asleep completely, I feel Max’s lips touch my forehead and him murmur words that I don’t quite pick up but I’m too sleepy to mention it and I just drift off to sleep so I can get better and go home sooner.

After a few days of more rest than I feel like I needed I am finally able to go home. To MY home, with Max, Sarah and his parents. I am more than ready, I hate being cooped up in that tiny hospital room and having nurses and doctors coming in and out at all hours of the night, I was ready to go home the next day, but Max insisted I stay a couple more days just to make sure everything was healing okay.

Everything did heal nicely but because of the type of blade the witch used on me and the fact that I didn’t have my wolf with me at the time, I have a small scar right where it punctured my chest. I guess I’ll have to get used to it being there. Max says its proof of how strong I can be. I don’t really believe it yet, but maybe over time I will get used to it and start to believe what he tells me.

When we finally make it home to our own pack house, Max carried me upstairs like I am a china doll or something. I know I am a lot smaller than him, but I am perfectly capable of taking myself up to our room.

Yes, you heard right, after Max and I found each other, he asked me to move into his room with him and I couldn’t say know. Especially when he pulled those puppy dog eyes out. Besides being away from Max now, makes me feel uneasy, when I am with Max, I feel like nothing can get to me. He makes me feel safe and protect.

“Max, you know I can walk right? My legs aren’t’ broken.”

“I know, love, but I like having you in my arms and I like being able to take care of you.”

I simply just roll my eyes and sniggle back into his arms. Might as well get used to being carried everywhere, because if Max has any say in the matter, I will never have to walk anywhere else again.

Once he deposits me gently on the bed, he turns to the couch along the wall and grabs a throw blanket for me and once he covers me up, he leans down to plant a chaste kiss on my lips.

“I need to head to my dad’s office for a bit and find out what has been going on with that witch and the rogue. When I get back you and I will talk about what to do.”

I give Max a nod of my head and I roll onto my side to take a power nap while he is away.

“Don’t be gone too long, I might start to miss you too much.”

With a smile on his face, he walks to the door and makes his way to the office, and I close my eyes and find myself drifting off to sleep and dreaming about Max and I’s future.
