All I Ever Wanted

Chapter 27

Alex's POV

I can finally leave today. I hate being in the hospital, the smell of cleaning products and sickness makes me sick.

I gagged, looking down at the needles and other things in my arms. I grimaced. I feel like when they take this stuff out, it'll hurt, like a lot.

I look over my shoulder at Mason. He was still asleep, he wasn't awake when I woke up, so I'm guessing he fell asleep after me.

I rubbed my eyes and leaned over, kissing him gently on the cheek.

I felt him stir, making me look over at him. He lazily smiled at me and leaned over also, kissing me on the cheek this time. I blushed.

"Good morning, princess." I heard him sleepily mumble, making me blush harder as his morning voice was extremely hot.

I cleared my throat, staring at him questionably. He looked at me, silently asking me to speak.

"Did you go to sleep after me? Is that why you're so tired?" I spoke calmly, staring at him. He nodded.

"Yeah, I'm exhausted. I left for a few hours to do some Alpha work also." He yawned, covering his mouth.

"Oh okay..." I said, leaning in closer to him.

"What are you doing?" He questioned me, leaning back a little.

"Just relax..." I mumbled, leaning my face closer to his. I seen his tense muscles relax.

I leaned a bit closer till my lips sought his, deepening the kiss as he sat up all the way. He held my back softly for support, so I don't make my injuries worse.

I moved my hands so they were on his neck, tilting my head a bit so my lips were more moulded with his.

We both pulled apart, our lips all swollen and red. I touched mine and blushed.

"Your cute when you blush." He chuckled, kissing my forehead. I smiled up at him, shyly averting my gaze after a second.

He wrapped his arms gently around my waist, smiling down at me and kissing all over my face. I giggled.

"I love you." He mumbled. I looked into his eyes.

"I love you, too." I smiled wide, showing my white sparkly teeth.

"I know you do." He chuckled, making me frown.

"Shush, mister." I said accusingly, pointing a finger at him. He grabbed my hand and kissed it, making me blush tomato red.

"Stoppp!" I whined, making him snicker. He was teasing me. That arrogant--

"Calm down, princess. I'm just messing with you." He kissed my forehead once again.

I smirked evilly. His eyes widened as if he knew the mischievous plan forming in my head.

"No." He glared, making me pout.

"Please?" I pleaded, giving him the puppy eyes. He tried to look away.

"Fine." He mumbled, getting off the bed and then helping me up.

I wobbled on my feet for a bit, not used to the numbness in my legs.

I held onto Mason tightly, leaning my head on his shoulder. He rocked us gently for a minute, then pulled us back and smiled at me.

"Come on, try to walk."

He held me up by my shoulders as I attempted to walk, only almost falling on my butt if it weren't for Mason.

I smiled thankfully up at him. He smiled back.

"Okay. I can do this..." I told myself, taking a deep breath and walking forward.

"I did it!" I said excitedly, jumping up and down lightly.

Mason smiled, nodding. "Yup, you did. Congratulations, Alex. I'm proud of you." I blushed at this. Then I smiled at him.

"Thank you." I shifted from one foot to the other, embarrassed that my own soulmate almost seen me fall. Stupid clumsiness.

"Come on, let's try to walk again. I'll lead you."

I knew he would, he was a good rely to have. That's why I believed him, even as I fell, I knew he'd catch me, no matter what.
