The Alpha Of The Shadow Pack And His Mute Luna (by Beatrice Putnam) novel Chapter 7

Chapter 7

Vanessa POV

After he carried me back to bed after I ran into his back, I made a display to show him how my legs work. He chuckled and acknowledged that they work. What he said next made me almost stop breathing. It was sweet. No one has ever wanted me close to them. But he is my mate. I’m still in shock that he is my mate. Even though he is very handsome and sexy, he wants me for me. Not just my mouth or my body. Which was a relief. It was nice to be wanted for something other than pleasure or being beaten.

He was standing in the middle of the room, staring at me. He had lust in his eyes, but there was also a look of concern and care. He then left the room. Which I am grateful for at the moment. I needed time to collect myself. When he came back in, he had a bag from the mall. I have been there several times. I was sent there to shop for my sisters and also my mother. That reminded me of what was going to happen to my parents. Who is going

to be the alpha of the pack now?

I sat it down by my side. The nurse was taking the IV out of my arm. I had so many questions and a lot on my mind. I grabbed my dry–erase board and started writing my questions down.

I wrote

Who is going to be alpha of the pack now?”

What is going to happen to my parents?”

When are we leaving?”

When can I leave the hospital?”

I just sat the board down when Alfred came back in.

Are you ready to go home?”

M

You have not gotten dressed yet.”

“I was about to take her to the bathroom and get her dressed.”

“No, I will do that.”

“With her permission.”

Was he serious? He wanted to help me get dressed. I thought about it for a moment, and I shrugged my shoulders. I guess now was a good time for him to see me naked. After he sees me naked, he will reject me, and I can run away. I started to scoot off the bed when

he stopped me.

Little one, even though your legs are fine, the doctor said not to let you walk.”

I guess I have not asked about my wounds and what I needed to do. I’m used to tending my wounds by myself. I knew this beating was different. It was meant to kill me. I was still weak, and I did not know how stable I would be on my feet anyway. He gently picked me up. Unfortunately, where he had to put his hand caused me pain. When I grimaced in pain, he froze. I looked up, and I could see the sadness in his eyes.

‘I’m so sorry, beautiful, that this causes you pain.”

I shrugged my shoulders because I was used to pain. It was sad to think that you are used to pain. He carried me to the bathroom. He turned on the light and sat me down on the toilet lid. I very slowly took the hospital gown off. After I dropped it to the floor, I instinctively covered myself with my arms.

No, no, don’t do that. I want to see your naked body.”

I uncovered myself, and he just stared. I tried not to blush.

“You are so beautiful.”

At first, he was going to hand me a bra. But I shook my head. There was no way I could wear a bra right now. He then gave me my shirt. I held it up, and it was pink with white trim. It was long–sleeved. It was cold outside, and it looked like it would fit. I put it on. It was big on me. But I was skinny. I was not allowed to eat much. I was fed mostly bread and water, and sometimes I would get a piece of fruit. They fed me enough to keep me alive.

Even though he said I looked beautiful, I knew he was concerned about my weight. I could see it in his eyes. He then handed me a pair of sweatpants. They are pink as well. I pulled them up and adjusted them to me just above my butt. I did not want them to rub my back.

I knew the shirt would be a little. But the bandages brought some comfort from them. He

then handed me a pair of shoes and socks. The shoes were a pair of Nike. I have never had

Nike shoes. The only shoes I had were an old pair of sandals.

Why is he giving me all these expensive things? He’s my mate, and I will go with him if he accepts me, which is a good thing. I’m glad that he has not rejected me. After I finished getting dressed, he picked me up, carried me back to the bed, and picked up the dry–erase

board.

* Don’t worry about your parents right now, they will have a trial.”

“I am taking you home today.”

“Alfred, the alpha of the shadow pack, accept you as my mate.”

After he said that, I felt warm all over my body. I grabbed my dry–erase board.

Why do you want to be my mate?”

Vanessa, you are my true mate, and I accept you. The look on your face told me you were having doubts.”

I was shocked. I was so appalled that I fainted. When I woke up again, Alfred was holding

1. me.

TO

Are you OK?”

I nodded my head yes. The relief on his face told me he was concerned. Doctor Moser

came in.

She is ready to go home.”

I was so glad to hear those words. When we went into the hall, it was lined with warriors.

“You are their Luna. They are here to protect you.‘

I was shocked that they were all here to protect me. Why would they want to protect a mute Luna? All these doubts run through my mind. But how do you break the curse? I found my true mate, but why can’t I talk yet? Maybe we have to make love, or he has to mark me. I have no idea. But I will take what I can as long as it is away from this place. We got to the door of the emergency room. When we walked out, our warriors were

standing there blocking the cars.

This was not good. What was going on? He looked towards a young man. He then came

over and took me out of his arms.

“My name is Chris.”

He said. He then took me back inside and handed me to a girl.

Luna, I’m Karen, I’m Chris’s mate.”

She was strong. Either that or I was very light. She then carried me into a room and sat me down on a hospital bed. She then left the room, and I heard the door lock.
