His Feisty Human Mate

5 - Leaving the Hospital

Savannah

    The next time I awakened, Jameson told me that we could leave the pack hospital whenever I felt ready.  Usually, they wouldn’t have discharged me yet, but Jameson being a doctor made a difference in that regard, because he could continue treating me as needed.

    However, I wasn’t able to easily stand, due to the pain in my abdomen.  Being the sweet guy he is, Jameson gently scooped me up in his arms, then he carried me out of the pack hospital.  I assumed he was gonna carry me to his car, but that wasn’t the case at all.  Instead, he carried me straight to the huge mansion.

    I was still feeling insanely loopy from the strong pain medication, and it was making me feel quite dizzy, so I laid my head against Jameson’s chest and closed my eyes.  That helped a little bit, but not enough to open my eyes back up until he laid me down on the most comfortable bed I had ever been fortunate enough to lie on.

    As soon as my eyelids fluttered open, my eyes were met with Jameson’s cute face smiling down at me.  His green eyes were swirling with happiness and excitement, making him even more handsome than before.

    After a few seconds, he affectionately murmured, “Sweetie, I don’t want you trying to do anything!  I will be close by at all times!  Don’t hesitate to holler for me if you need something!”

    “Thanks,” I hoarsely replied with the corner of my lip lifting just a little.

    “Are you getting hungry?” Jameson asked a second later.

    I weakly shook my head at him, then I closed my drooping eyes and attempted to focus on my sense of hearing.  However, I was too tired to focus on anything other than those mysterious sparks that suddenly made my left hand tingle.

    It was strange how this extremely attractive werewolf made me feel safe by simply being nearby.  I had never felt safe around anytime.  The only times I had ever felt safe was when I was at home by myself, and even then, I was constantly worrying about what was going to happen when my father walked through the door.

    While enjoying those sparks, I found it easy to drift into another state of peaceful sleep.  For a change, I wasn’t nightmares, and I hoped for that trend to continue. 

    After sleeping for a few hours, I awakened to the most heavenly aroma that immediately made my mouth water.  It was definitely some type of pasta, but I wasn’t entirely sure which one.  I could also smell garlic, and that brought a little smile to my face.  I had always been a fan of pasta.

    It wasn’t hard for me to get my eyelids to flutter open, then I glanced around in search of Jameson.  My eyes landed on that handsome doctor in no time to see him speaking with a woman who had the same black hair with dark blue streaks.

    When she turned around to follow Jameson, that’s when I saw her stunning, sea foam green eyes that were shining with love and pride.  As soon as she noticed I was awake, she beamed a beautiful smile at me and greeted, “Hello, dear!  How are you feeling?”

    “Okay,” I sheepishly mumbled.

    Jameson was quick to walk over to the bed, then he cupped my hands between his and explained, “Sweetie, this is my mum, Bethany.  She brought us some fresh baked lasagna with salad and garlic bread.  It’s my grandfather’s famous lasagna!  I promise you will love it!”

    There was no stopping the smile that stretched across my face, as I graciously replied, “Thank you.  It smells amazing.”

    “You’re welcome!  When you get to feeling better, be sure to visit me often!” she kindly responded with a warm smile.

    “See!  Doesn’t my mate have the most beautiful smile?” Jameson boasted with pride.

    “Your mate is beautiful, Jameson!  I’m so happy for the two of you!” she agreed before giving Jameson a motherly hug.

    When she pulled away from the hug, Jameson curiously asked, “Mum, do you think your Healing Ability could help Savannah?”

    “I’ve never tried to heal a human, but I’m willing to try,” she answered before looking at me and adding, “If that’s okay with you.”

    I had no clue what they were talking about.  All I knew was that Jameson was doing everything he could to help me, and I already felt like I could trust him to some extent.  With that thought in mind, I timidly responded, “I guess that would be okay.”

    “Wonderful,” she hummed while closing the gap between us, then she sat on the edge of the bed and took hold of my hands.

    A second later, her eyes started flickering to silver, and it looked so freaking cool!  While taking in the sight of them, I started to experience the weirdest sensation throughout my body.  

    It started at my abdomen, where I was currently experiencing the most pain.  At first it felt tingly, then the pain slowly started to ease, earning a sigh of relief from me.  As the tingly expanded throughout my body, I noticed areas that had been hurting without me even noticing, because of the other pains that were worse.

    I became painfully aware of just how bad of shape my dad had me in, and there was no stopping the tears of sadness that rolled down my cheeks.  I never understood what I did to make him feel the need to constantly hurt me.  I always felt like just being alive was his reason for hating me, and that was a hard truth to cope with.

    It wasn’t long before Jameson was swiping those tears off of my cheeks using the pads of his thumbs.  I could tell my tears worried him, so forced a little smile on my face and mumbled, “I’m okay.  I just got a little overwhelmed with emotions for a second there.”

    “Are you sure?” he asked with concern swirling in his pretty, green eyes.

    I nodded my head at him and whispered, “Yes, I’m sure.”

    After a few more minutes, Bethany’s eyes stopped flickering, then she excitedly asked, “Do you feel any better?”

    “I feel a lot better!  I don’t know how you did that, but wow!” I breathed out in astonishment.  

    I didn’t know that there were people out there who could actually heal others like that, and I couldn’t help but to be totally amazed by it.  I still had some pain in my abdomen, but the rest of my body felt like it didn’t even belong to me.  That’s how good I felt after she worked her magic on me.

    “I’m so glad I could help you!  Don’t hesitate to let me know if you start experiencing a lot of pain again,” she insisted before giving Jameson another quick hug, then she left us alone with our dinner.

    Right away, Jameson brought my plate to the bed and helped me sit up with my back propped against the headboard.  After that, he grabbed his plate and sat on the bed beside me.

    As soon as I took a bite of that delicious lasagna, there was no stopping the moan that left my mouth.  It was absolutely divine, and I ate every last bite of it.  However, I could only eat a few bites of the salad and half of the garlic bread before my belly got full.  It was the first time in years that my stomach felt full, and let me tell you, it was great.  

    Even better than that was the way Jameson pulled me against his side after we finished eating.  It was unexpected, but surprisingly nice, and I had to admit that he was quickly growing on me.
