Chapter 19

Holly’s Pov

My head felt as if it was pounding, the sharp sensation causing all the air in my lungs to leave me in a huff as I felt myself suddenly become winded. I couldn’t help but whimper at the painful but unfortunately for from new sensation, I had felt this before after all and the thought that something similar had happened in this place before everything went black had my form stiffening in fear. I knew I shouldn’t have trusted him, but I couldn’t help it. He was so sweet, not to mention my wolf was begging me to give him a chance.

Trying to fight the sob which wanted to bubble up from my throat I tried to think back to what had caused me to be knocked out, but found my brows pulling together in a frown when I realised that I couldn’t remember. What the hell?

Knowing that I needed to get out of here as quickly as possible I tried to ignore the pulsing in my head and come up with a plan, but my wolf was whimpering so loudly at the thought of me going anywhere that I found my physical pain only increasing. It was as if the mere thought of running was too much for her, that she would be nothing again if I didn’t stay.

Taking a deep breath I tried to settle my nerves, my eye lids not cooperating with me at the moment since they felt as if they had been glued shut since they were so heavy. If it wasn’t for the fact my sensitive hearing was working perfectly I would have feared that there was something up with my senses.

Deciding to listen to my wolf, not having any other choice I forced myself to relax. I knew from experience that the more I relaxed the quicker it would pass. If I strained myself then it would only hurt me more in the long run, I may not have been a doctor of any kind but I’ve had to deal with and fix my own injuries since I was a child and you can’t help but pick up a few techniques. Unlike most now I could fix a broken leg or see to a dislocated limb with ease; it just sucked that it wasn’t due to be being taught by others, but due to having no choice but to learn from trial and error if I wanted my injuries seen to and fixed to prevent any future problems.  

With that decided I let my body relax, my head feeling like it had been plugged with cotton wool as I couldn’t help the slight groan which fell from my lips as I squeezed my eyes together in an attempt to deal with the pain. Strangely though, it wasn’t as bad as it had been in the past; not by far.

I didn’t know how many minutes had gone past until I felt a gentle sensation brush against my forehead. The action surprised me enough to flinch, but I soon recognised the husky sound of the owner as my wolf whimpered in delight as a soothing sensation was spread through my head at the touch alone, instantly making me crave more as I leaned into the caress since it was an escape from the pain.

“It’s just me sweetheart, I’m so sorry” he breathed as he continued his soothing caresses on my forehead. He made me feel safe, protected and dare I admit it…happy.

Letting my eye lids flutter, them finally not feeling as if they weighed a ton I let them flicker open after a few moments of hesitation. I didn’t know what I expected to see; but the fear and panic in his deep brown eyes wasn’t what I expected. I didn’t like it; neither did my wolf.

His words caused me to frown, his fingers still running gently across my forehead in a gentle caress that had me craving more. I didn’t know why, but as I slowly sat up I couldn’t help but feel loved when I felt his hesitant touch on my back as he kept me up right. It was that simple soft gesture that had it all rushing back to me in one go. How we had made a cake, me giggling, his charming smile, how scared I was and…
