Chapter 47 047
Alexander's POV
"She regained consciousness!" Blake reported, and the sourness in my chest slowly melted away.
"Who did what?" I demanded, hoping he wasn't referring to someone else.
"Danica... She's awake" He corrected and an inaudible sign escaped me.
One of the Elders was currently speaking but I couldn't catch one more single word of his. Blake's words kept repeating itself over and over again in my head without permission.
"That's the end of today's meeting" I announced, cutting off whatever he was saying before storming out of the hall.
My eyes locked on the Gamma's as I made my way out but I said nothing. Holy hell, it took me all my hard earned self control to act like I knew nothing about what he did to Danica.
"You didn't have to end the meeting so abruptly, Alpha. The poor man would think his suggestion sucked. You practically interrupted his speech midway" Blake scolded and I scoffed.
"I wonder who is Alpha right now, Blake. Me? Or You?" I sighed dramatically and he snapped his lips shut, but not without the signature death glare. "If he has a complaint, let him bring it to me himself"
"Someone looks impossibly happy, right now" Blake muttered with a smirk.
"Well, yes. You can say that again" I said plainly.
I swung the door open without warning. It was my room after all, it wouldn't be seen as disrespectful. I didn't need to search too hard. She was standing right there, one hand flying to the loose neckline of her bathrobe while the other froze in Jasmine's grip.
They both gasped, shocked by the intrusion but I didn't mind at all. Danica was standing on her own two feet right now, those adorable colors were back on her skin and I couldn't ask for more.
I didn't need to say anything, it was Jasmine's cue to leave and she knew it.
Once I was alone with her, I stepped close— impossibly close, wanting to feel her against me.
With one arm wrapped around her small waist, I pulled her into my body, cupping her face with the other hand.
"Hi" I whispered, staring directly into her eyes as if trying to find out if she was real, even though it was already obvious.
"Hii" she drawled, a tiny smile tugging at her lips as her cheeks went adorably rosy. I could never get enough of her flushed pink face.
"Is that really you, Danica? Risen from the dead?" I teased, watching her face contour into a dramatically offended expression.
"Risen from the dead, really?" She muttered, wriggling out of my arms but I didn't let her.
"Nuh-uh, you can't do that, little Doc" I muttered in a low voice before wrapping my two arms around her in a protective hug.
"I'm sorry you had to go through that, Dani" I muttered and she rubbed her face in my chest slowly.
"It wasn't your fault. You saved me" She responded and I hugged her tighter.
"And speaking of faults... I learned I passed the trial" She said, her voice surprisingly low yet excited.
"You did."
"What about the patient's guardian?"
"She's where she is," I said plainly, showing no interest in explaining further.
"Where she is? As in the clinic?" She asked, clearly not catching my body language... Or maybe ignoring it because she's the only one who could dare to do that.
"Probably? Or probably not?" I responded, leaving the uncertainty still hanging. "Can we not talk about a potential murderer when you're just getting better?" I added and her eyes widened.
Does she think it would remain a secret?
What universe does she think she is? Jupiter?
I mean, I would even reduce the earth to Jupiter to find out the truth if it came to that.
"You knew? How did you... How did you find out?" She asked in a half exclamation.
"I have my ways, chica." I muttered gruffly.
"But..." I silenced her with a kiss.
No buts, no talking about bitches and jerks, no more questions! Or my ears would bleed at this point.
"I..." Another kiss.
"Such a coward!" She whispered in frustration, trying and failing to frown in a really angry way.
I kissed her again, fully, hard, showing her just how mistaken she was to have referred to me as a coward.
After what seemed like forever, I broke the kiss before muttering. "Make no mistake, little Doc. No coward could ever kiss you that well"
And that did it because she immediately went speechless. But that only lasted for a minute before she pressed herself into me, slowly wrapping her bandaged hands around my neck.
The simple movement sent an unwanted jolt to my groin.
My fingers dipped deeper into her waist through the flimsy robe she wore but it didn't stop her.
"Alexander... You promised to reward me if I passed that trial, didn't you?" She muttered and just like that, the shy Danica was out of the fucking window.
"I did."
"So what're you gonna do about it? I feel really impatient" She whispered, her gaze lowering from my hooded eyes to my lips.
"Fucking hell!"
"Nothing?" She muttered, looking disappointed as she pulled away from me, turning to walk away.
I pulled her back effortlessly and she slammed into me with a soft gasp.
"Don't play that card with me, Dani. You're just healing" I warned and I didn't miss the mischievous twinkle in her eyes.
"But thanks to someone, I'm already almost fully healed..." She trailed off and I swallowed, tightening my grip on her wrist and waist slightly.
My gaze followed the position of my hand around her wrist and I shook my head once.
"This hasn't healed yet, you're going to get hurt, sweetling" I responded a bit more calmly, hoping she took the bait and backed off.
But she did the exact opposite.
"You won't hurt me." She protested and I blinked, a feeling of pride and dread swirling in my chest.
"You don't know that" I urged and then she pouted.
"I do know that... Besides, I really don't mind getting hurt if you're going to be the one hurting me" she whispered and that was the only go ahead I needed.
"You're so gonna regret that, sweetling" I groaned, lifting her from the ground while wrapping her legs around my waist.
I took my time kissing her and taking us to my bed, just in case she had a change of heart. Though I wasn't sure I could stop at this point even if she does.
"You still have a chance to run the hell away from me right now, little Doc." I muttered as soon as her back touched the bed.
"I don't want to," she moaned, tightening her legs around me.
"Then you're going to be a good girl for me, won't you?" I whispered, my voice thick with lust.
She nodded and I grazed my teeth over the spot on her neck that made her shudder.
"Words, Dani" I growled, pinching her tight bud through the fabric of her robe.
"Yes, Xander" her response followed a sharp addictive moan.
