He stiffened at first at my touch but then his arms came around me , holding me gently .

His hand moved to my hair , smoothing it down as he whispered .

“ You’re safe now … everything is fine .

We stayed like that for what seemed like an eternity before I heard the handle of the door to the room turn .

Ramsey pushed me back as if he had just touched hot coal , adjusting his shirt as the Pack healer and a few nurses

entered the room .

“ Alpha ! ” the healer said as soon as he spotted Ramsey “ No one informed me of your presence .

Welcome , ” he said .

Ramsey cleared his throat , his gaze darting at me for a second before he took the Healer’s outstretched hand .

“ I had to come see for myself .

Thank you for doing your best and bringing her back .

The healer laughed “ It wasn’t me , Alpha .

It was all her and the other gentleman that was here , Nathan , right ? Anyway , I need to check on the patient and know how she’s feeling .

The healer came to me , a smile on his face .

“ Welcome back , Miss .

It’s a good thing you’re awake .

Now , your body will heal quickly .

Can you tell me your name first ? ” he asked .

My gaze darted to Ramsey and he shook his head , an indication that I shouldn’t say my name .

Anything that would tie me to him , he was avoiding it .

I swallowed hard and looked out of the window .

“ You can just call me Miss , ” I said .

“ Great ! ” He nodded “ Can you tell me how you feel ? ”

I hesitated , trying to think of how I felt now .

Aside from the dull ache in my heart from my mate thrusting me away from him like I was some dirty

secret , I felt strangely fine .

A little … confused and out of touch with the timeline but I’m

fine .

“ That’s normal ,” the healer nodded .

“ You’ve been unconscious for nearly a week .

You suffered a Feral attack on your back and the wound was so deep that we thought it wouldn’t heal , given the fact that you have no wolf and … ”

“ She has a wolf ! ” Ramsey suddenly said , interrupting the healer .

“ It must have been startled by the entire attack , traumatized .

Isn’t it , Miss ? ”
