Fated To Three, Betrayed By All… Until She Rose novel Chapter 12
Capítulo 12: Hello mate.
Leilani.
I woke up to pounding in my head and an intense pain at my back that reminded me of the eighty strokes I’d suffered not so long ago.
I winced in pain, closing my eyes and willing myself to fall back asleep but my eyes soon snapped open when at that same time, the door creaked open. I jerked upright but as soon as I saw who it was, the walls I had up came crashing slowly. I sighed;
“Frostclaw.”
“Are we regressing to last name basis now?” Jarek teased, flashing me a small smile. However, I didn’t get to respond to that when he pushed a tray of mouthwatering dishes onto my lap.
My mouth instantly watered at the sight in front of me, but because I didn’t want to seem ‘so hungry’, I held back and bit my lips.
“Are we having a feast?” I asked instead.
Jarek chuckled, “No,” but the doctors say you’re malnourished… extremely malnourished. So I had to bring a bit of everything. If we stick to this kind of meal plan for a while, I’m sure your health will bounce back pretty soon.”
His tone held an undertone of something that made me curious and a little bit scared. And as if noticing this, he glanced away, his voice turning stiff as he said;
“Your injuries are not healing, sweetcakes. And it’s not because you do not have a wolf… you do… it’s only because you’re terribly undernourished.”
For a moment, I was stunned into silence. Shocked down to my bones— but no, I wasn’t surprised that I was undernourished. Fuck, I expected that, given the number of times I was forced to donate my fucking blood to my fragile sister, Chalice, and the bizarre amount of times I was left starving for no reason at all back at my pack.
I’d have been surprised if I was well nourished.
However, what stood out more to me was the idea that I had a wolf. A freaking wolf. Me, Leilani? The pack’s runt?!
That was impossible!
I shook my head, chuckling. “I have a wolf?”
My question seemed to shock Jarek who turned to me with wide eyes. His deep seeing eyes bore into mine for a moment too long, and when they landed on my lips… they became darker— if that was even possible.
“Yes.” He breathed out, “I know you told me a long time ago that you didn’t, so when I rushed you in, I made sure to inform the doctors who as soon as they checked you said that info was wrong. I even thought you lied to me about—”
“I have a wolf?” I couldn’t help but ask again, my voice coming out shaky. And goddess, I couldn’t help the smile curling up my lips.
Jarek nodded once, his eyes trailing along my face, but said nothing, and then suddenly, he came to sit by the bed, picked up a spoonful of my rice and muttered; “say ahhh.”
“Ahhh,” I answered in confusion, wringing my eyebrows together as I opened my mouth.
However, shock hit me like a freight train when he pushed the spoon into my mouth, filling it up with yummy buttery rice. I moaned.
“Oh, don’t be too loud,” Jarek cautioned me with a smile, his head turning towards the door, “…or one would think I have my hands on your body, and not on your plate.”
It took Silly me more than a minute to grasp his words but when they finally settled, my face colored brightly. But surprisingly, I didn’t shy away, I simply smiled. “It’s delicious.”
“My friend only makes delicious meals.”
I wanted to ask him who this friend was when suddenly, he brought up some sauced chicken to my mouth and asked; “You didn’t know you had a wolf?”
“I’ve never felt it before.” I answered amidst chewing. And that was true. “I still have a hard time believing I have one.”
A knowing look flashed across his face before it disappeared. He mused under his breath;”Something is indeed strange about that…”
But I heard him. I heard him clearly.
“Indeed.”
I wish it was true… oh moon goddess, make it real. Make it real. Maybe that way, my family and mates would want me.
Maybe…
