The Smith Organization

Chapter 15

Emma

It was warm, really nice too.

Wait, why was it warm?

It's hotter than usual...

Oh, shit! My memories of last night flooded my brain. Being attacked while on patrol, my wolf having control, coming here.

I jerk up, but hiss in pain. Damn it, my injuries aren't healed! I examine myself, it looked pretty bad. I had a lot of dried up blood. If I had been human, I would have died from blood loss, but I'm not, a fact I have never been happier to have. My smaller cuts were healed, but the bigger ones were still open. I am pretty sure one was still open.

Either way, I needed to be out of here. I shifted my weight on the bed and attempted to get out. My mate, still asleep, wrapped his arms even more around me. It hurt at this point. Once again, I attempt to detach his arm from me. 

Nope, one more time!

Finally, I am free! 

I am about to stand up from the bed when I heard a voice, "Who's here?"

I guess my mate is awake. I hurriedly finish standing, but nearly collapse because of the pain. Shit, shit, shit, I didn't need this right now! I manage to stay on my two feet this time, but not fast enough.

Alec is fully awake, "Laura?"

Laura, who the fuck is Laura? Why on earth is my mate calling for this Laura. He must kill the bitch, my wolf and I agree. He's ours. Then, I feel the need to hit myself on the forehead. Emma, you're an idiot. Laura was the name I gave him for me.

Lost in my thoughts, I didn't notice Alec moving until he wrapped his arms around me, "Mate. Mine."

I attempt to wiggle out of his hold, "Nope, no mate here. This is just a dream."

He looks confused for a moment, "Laura, you're here, my mate."

Apparently, Alpha Kings don't make much sense before their morning coffee. It's like his wolf is in control, but if you look at his eyes, they are his human color. What to do? It's clear that when Alec fully comprehends the situation, there will be questions.

I try one last time to escape his grasp, "This is all a dream. When you wake up, I will be gone."

At my words, Alec is completely awake and squeezes me tighter, "No, you're my mate. I won't let you run from me a third time."

I wince because he is putting pressure of my wounds, "Less tight. Hurts!"

He releases me, but stays closer, "You're injured?"

I grit my teeth, "No shit sherlock! Get a mother fucking doctor. This hurts like a bitch!"

"Language!" he berates.

I glare at him, "I don't give a fuck. You just opened a wound."

Alec looks torn, "You could escape again."

I laugh grimly and wince as the move hurts my ribs, "In my state, not likely."

I see Alec come up with a compromise. His eyes glaze over as he mind-links his pack doctor. Well, whatever he threatened him with worked, because I kid you not two minutes later the doctor was here.

He bowed as he entered the room, "Alpha King, can I treat your mate?"

Alec nods, "Yes."

I groan, "I can't speak for myself."

Doc looks me over in horror, "How are you even standing? You have so many injuries you should be on Death's Door."

I shrug, "Stubbornness, I can't die yet, too much to do. I've had worse."
