Chapter 32
- Katharina Point of view –
"Where am I?" I felt slurry, I look at the surroundings and found Zeus sitting next to me.
"Baby.” Zeus hold my hand. "Hold still and just lay there, you've been out for two days.
I lay back into the hospital bed while Zeus is touching every bruise I have. He looks terrible at his dark circles in his eyes. He hasn't been sleeping for two days for sure. He looks at me and kiss my lips lightly because it has cuts also. He pulls away and get a robe to cover my body and that's when I know that I am naked under the sheet.
We both blush at the moment but Zeus got himself back first.
"I think the doctor needs to see you, and check your wounds specially the one in your back." Zeus said. His grip tightened in the chair before he spins around and call the doctor.
The old woman came in and check all my bruises. She pushes my robe down and examine my back.
"Can I get a shower? I stink." I ask her.
"Sure, you can since the wounds are healing just don't let the shower position in you back. Zeus needs to help you to put some ointment in your back after you shower." She said while putting her things in her back.
"Thank you." I said.
"I'll go now, be careful on your back once again it's still healing."
"Okay I will. Thanks again." I said.
I look into Zeus who's standing next to the bathroom door.
"I can do it myself Zeus, you can wait here." I said.
"Okay, just don't lock the door I need to know you're okay inside." He said.
"Okay." I dragged myself to the bathroom while Zeus is holding my new robe while waiting outside.
I look in the mirror and saw how beaten I am. I look like I was back from death; my eyes got huge bags, my lips are swollen and got a lot of cut. It is also dry because of lack of water, bruises all over my body and when I turn around to see my back I almost screamed at the sight of my wrecked back. A lot of whip marks on it that will surely put a mark forever.
I open the shower and try to clean myself without Zeus help. I started to try to scrub my body when Zeus come inside.
"I can't help it. I need to be here with you. I can't lose the sight of you again, it makes my wolf crazy." He said.
I feel warm inside my heart. I turn off the shower and pull him next to me. I don't care if my body is aching and I am naked, all I want is him. I take off his clothes while kissing him. I never wanted this feelings to end.
"You don't know what power you have on me, Baby." Zeus said while kissing my neck.
I can't stop to think what if he marks me here.
"Zeus will you mark me?" I said
"What?" He suddenly stops kissing me and look me in the eyes.
"I-I just thought... you know... you ca-" I stop what I am saying when Zeus suddenly kiss me again. I pulled away just to catch some air.
"I want too, but tomorrow is the blue moon and I still can wait till that time. I will mark you as mine tomorrow baby. Don't worry okay?" He said kissing my forehead.
I smile back to him. I almost forgot that tomorrow will be the blue moon, I can't wait for him to mark me as his mine.
"Let's shower now baby, your wounds might open if we stay here for too long." He said.
And we start cleaning our self but took much longer than necessary because of the extra activities inside.
*******
"We should have breakfast with the pack now. They are waiting for you." He said.
"What happened when I'm out?" I ask while we're walking down the stairs.
"Well, a lot.... especially my Mom and Tyler." Zeus.
"Tyler? What happened to him? Was he hurt? And how about Ele? What happened to her?" Panic started to fill my body. Just thinking there's something bad happened to them makes my body shaking.
"Hey don't scare yourself babe. They are both alright." He said while putting his hand on my back and make circles. "Tyler found his mate and you will be happy who she is, while Mom and his true mate are now back to each other. Markus mark her." He said.
"Markus what?"
"Markus marked my mother and they are now mates. They are in the dining room waiting for us." Zeus.
"How can Markus marked your Mom? Didn't she have your father's marked?" I asked.
"Yes, she was, but my dad withheld the bond. That's one of royals gift, though I just discover it lately when my Mother came back and told me that Markus marked her." Zeus.
"I don't know that there's that kind of gift from pure blood werewolf." I said.
We arrived at the dining room and saw Markus, Ele, Tyler with....... Lily?
"Lily?"
"Kath? Finally, you're awake now, I'm so worried about you." She said while hugging me.
"Ouch!" I said. She forgets that I got whipped wounds in my back.
"Oh, I'm sorry." She said.
Zeus pulled the chair for me.
"Lily what are you doing here? I mean... I thought----"
Tyler cut me. "She's my mate Kath." He said.
"Oh my gosh! I'm happy for you Lily." I said holding her hands.
"Me too, and I'm sorry for what happened to you. I can't tell you about Alpha Duren, he will kill us all" She explained.
My eyes darted to Markus who's silently sitting uncomfortably next to the Queen.
"Kath this is Markus my mate too." Ele said before I can process any words to say to him.
I don't hate him but I don't like him too. He is one of my kidnapers. I'm happy for Ele though, she deserves to be happy.
"I know you don't like me Kath because of my brother but I still want to say sorry for the mistake I made." He said.
"I don't like you but at the same time I don't hate you. Time will heal everything, but Ele..." I look at the Ele "I'm happy for you, you deserve to be happy." I said.
Ele smile at me.
"Thank you, Kath, now that we settled everything let's go to your vows day tomorrow. Zeus and I already prepared everything. all you have to do is to attend." She said slightly laughing.
Tomorrow is the day that I will pledge myself to the King and I will be the Luna and his Queen.
We finished our breakfast and Zeus take me back to our room.
"How do you feel about tomorrow?" Zeus asks.
"Kind of nervous and excited." I said.
We lie down in bed while Zeus hugging me. "Me too... I hope everything will be okay and finally you will be fully mine." He said.
I look at him in the eyes and kissed him in the lips slowly. He kisses me back the same way.
"I'm always yours Zeus." I said and once again I fell asleep in his arms.
