Mated To The Lycan King

Chapter 63 

Hours went by with only two updates from the team of surgeons working on Everest. He seemed to be doing well even with everything going on. I went down to visit Candace and Jeremy and she was doing pretty good, just some discomfort. Everyone was with their mates as I stood to look out the window of his room. About twenty minutes later, there was a knock on the door and I turned around to see them . wheeling Everest in, in his bed. 

I felt my heart jump into my throat and I smiled at the sight of him. It was such a relief and i hurried to his side and sat down next to him. I looked up at the doctor, who had a smile on his face. 

“Good news?” I asked him. 

“Absolutely, he did very well while under the knife. Everything should heal properly and he should be good to go within the week.” The doctor looked down at the chart and back up to me. 

I felt tears begin to sting my eyes, not because I was sad, but because I was so unbelievably happy.” That’s fantastic news. Will he require any therapy?” I looked back down at him and was worried about how badly bruised and beaten down he was. 

He made a face as if he was trying to make a decision. “Honestly, it just depends on how well he heals and how his nerves are functioning when he wakes up. I don’t think so, but I can not rule it out completely. When he is released, he will be on light duty. It is very important that he does not shift for two more weeks.” He looked at me over his glasses. “Two full weeks. Not any sooner. If he does shift it could cause more damage and he could lose all function in this arm of his.” He looked over at me for a moment before looking back down at the folder that had Everest’s chart. He was looking over it to see if any more information needed to be said as he made an annoying clicking sound with his tongue. 

I nodded my head as i listened to the clicking sound. “Got it. He won’t be too happy with that, but I am sure he would be even more unhappy with the effects of shifting too soon. Thank you for everything you and your team have done. Well, you are all still currently doing to help our members.” He smiled, bowed his head, and then excused himself from the room once satisfied that all the information was given to me. I looked over at Everest and listened to his breathing and smiled at myself, watching him closely. It was comforting to know that he would be just fine. In just a few short weeks and he will be back to his old self again. I couldn’t wait to shift and go on a run with him, once he was able to, of course. 

Ilaid my head down on the side of his bed, his hand still in mine. My fingers wrapped around his tightly, afraid if I let him gol would never be able to hold his hand again or he would be gone. Just slipped away and out of my grasp. I could feel his blood flowing through him. His hand was warm in my own. The soft pattering sound of his heartbeat was the calm to my forever brooding storm. I tapped into his mind to see if I could hear him and there was nothing. Just a peaceful humming of pure bliss. I soon fell fast asleep listening to his breathing and his heart beating. It was wonderful music to my ears. It was just the music needed to send me into a deep and unbothered slumber. 

Tawoke the next day to a puddle of apparently my own drool. 

Gross, I thought. My hand was no longer clinging to his and I wiped my mouth. Cleaning it from all of the drool i left behind. I heard a soft chuckle next to me. 

“Good morning, my love. I am sorry I did not wake you. You just looked so peaceful in your sleep.” / heard his voice. “Although, now there is a small drool puddle on my bed. I may need a nurse to change my sheets.” He laughed. 

and a huge smile was now on my face. “Oh, Everest. You’re awake!” I said happily

when exactly was the last time you slept?”I watched his brow arch as he questioned

That had to take a lot out of you. Using all of that energy at one time. What happened? Where did it come from? Well, other than from your body.” His head tilted slightly to the side as his eyes roamed over my body as if looking for their own

well, I have no clue, honestly, I just lost it. It consumed me and I allowed whatever that was to just take over and do what it needed to do, I guess. Does that make sense? Whatever it was seemed to work in our favor.” I was stumbling with my words
