Blood And Silver:Rise of the Alpha’s Rejected Mate

I sighed deeply after Dane left with the doctor. Leaning my elbows on the bed, I tried to lift myself up, but my body protested. I had lied to Dane, telling him I felt fine, but the truth was far from it. Why do I feel this way?

Clicking my tongue in frustration, I pushed myself to sit upright. My head spun, and a wave of dizziness hit me, but I managed to stay upright.

Rubbing my neck, I realized how dry my throat felt. Glancing across the room, I spotted a bottle of water on a table, tantalizingly out of reach.

I balled my fists around the sheets, my feet tentatively touching the ground. “Why is the water so far away? And where’s the nurse when you need one?”

Steeling myself, I stood, but the moment I tried to move, the room spun again. Gripping the edge of the bed tightly, I fought to steady myself.

Taking a deep breath, I whispered to myself, “Let’s see how far I can get.”

My legs felt wobbly, and my vision blurred slightly, but I pressed on. Something about this strange weakness felt familiar, though

I couldn’t quite place it.

When I finally reached the water, I let out a relieved sigh. Grabbing the bottle, I gulped down several sips, the cool liquid soothing my dry throat.

As I turned to head back to the bed, my balance betrayed me. I stumbled, my arms flailing as the bottle slipped from my grasp.

“Ahhh!” I screamed as I toppled backward.

“Babe!” Dane’s voice thundered through the room just as the door burst open. His eyes went wide as he saw me falling, and in a flash, he darted forward, grabbing my arm and pulling me to him.

The water bottle spun in the air, its contents raining down on both of us. I gasped as the cold droplets hit my face, soaking me.

Dane’s hair clung to his forehead, dripping wet, and water streamed down his face, mingling with mine as I stared up at him, frozen.
