The fairy, the witch and the wolf

Chapter 3 - Tingles

  *Her*

Calista closed the door to Nicholas' room as she took a deep breath. His wolf had just acknowledged her as his mate. Now she couldn't deny that he was her destined one. Now what was she to do? She couldn't do anything at the moment because he was in hospital and she was his nurse. She wondered what this would mean for her going forward. From the stories of her mother she knew that destined ones were a precious gift. She knew her mother would be excited that she had found him, even though she wasn't really looking. 

She sighed and decided she would deal with it later, she had a whole shift to get through first, as she wandered back to the nurses station. 

Thirty minutes later, Calista was just about done writing out her shift planner, when she remembered the pain relief for Mr Wolf. What was his name....Her thoughts drifted back to him....

"Dammit....I have to concentrate, I have work to do.. He can wait." She sighed again as she thought about what Skylar will think about her finding her destined one in a werewolf. Knowing her she will squeal. 

Calista giggled to herself just thinking about it before she went about her morning doing things for her patients. Dolores, in room 3 had a wound on her leg that needed redressing. Calista grabbed what she needed and headed for her room. Dolores was sitting in the chair by the window waiting for her. "Hello dear. Are you here to see to my sore leg?" Calista smiled. "Yes Delores, let's have a look." 

Calista took the old dressing off. The wound was healing but it was healing slowly. Delores had had the sore on her leg for 2 weeks now. 

Calista decided that she would discreetly use some of her magic to help. When Delores looked away, Calista drew upon her power and watched as it danced over the wound before she redressed it. "All done Delores." The old lady smiled at her and patted her hand. "Thank You dear."  Calista smiled in return. "Your welcome. If you need anything else, just use the nurse call button." 

Calista gathered the dressing stuff and put it all in the bin. She smiled to herself as she took off her gloves and washed her hands. 

Before checking what was next on her planner, she remembered. "Ooh the pain relief for Mr....Mr..." She went to room 5 and got the charts she left outside the door. "Mr Braveheart.. Nicholas..." She found herself tracing his name. Calista took Nicholas' charts to the medication room and dispensed two tablets. 

Taking the pills in their little cup, she went to room 5, she knocked. No answer.

She slowly opened the door only to run smack bang into a hard chest. "Ah...Mr Braveheart, you should be in bed...."As her words trailed off, she looked up into his mesmerising green eyes. Green eyes that reminded her of the forest. They were beautiful. She could also see her reflection and the expression on his face. Was that affection? 

"No, he's just a patient" she told herself.

She was soon snapped out of her reverie when Nicholas commented "would you like to join me, mate." As she realised, her left hand was on his chest, tingles went through her fingertips and up her arm. They were delicious. 

She started stuttering. "Uh umm...M..M.. Mr B..Braveheart...I'm I..I have your pain relief...here...." She blushed, and stepped back from him. Holding the medicine cup out in between them. "What's wrong with me today?" she thought. She cleared her throat and straightened her shirt. "Here." She handed him the medicine cup with the two tablets. "For your headache." 

*Him*

He was massaging his temples, when the heavenly orchid scent hit his nostrils.

He sat bolt upright when he recognised who that smell belonged to. "Mate. She is here!" Alvaro was way too excited. Nicholas was trying to calm him down. There was a knock at the door, he wasn't leaving her time to open the door herself, but just as he reached for the door knob, she had entered the room and ran into him. When she touched his skin, there were tingles and she felt just right being in his arms. She was his perfect fit. 

He was taking in her scent as she mumbled for him to get back into bed, so he cheekly replied with 

"Would you like to join me, mate."

That one word, rolled off his tongue and he enjoyed it. Alvaro started howling in his head and sending him suggestive images of her underneath him. "Slow down buddy, we don't want to scare her..." Nicholas said as he cut off his wolf from their mindlink. He noticed that she had stepped away and immediately he felt a hole where she should have been. When he looked at her, she was holding the medicine cup out to him. 

"Ah yes of course, my medication. Excuse me." 

He stepped away to get some water, he then came back to stand in front of her. He gingerly held out his hand briefly touching her fingers as he took the medicine cup from her. He looked straight into her eyes as he downed a mouthful of water with the tablets. "So Miss nurse, when can I get out of here? I have things at home to do." Oh yes indeed he did, and those things now included her. He started to make a mental list of the things he has to do. He couldn't wait. 

He had now found a new purpose after years of torture from Vera. He couldn't wait to get to know the woman in front of him. Suddenly Alvaro was probing Nicholas' mind. Nicholas turned around as Calista left the room, "What is it buddy?" His wolf was acting weird. "Mate smells like magic...." Nicholas started to panic. "Good or bad magic?" Nicholas couldn't stand it if another woman was playing tricks on him with black magic."

"No...it's...white magic.... fairy...mate is a fairy! Oh how wonderful! I love her already!" Nicholas did a double take. " What did you just say?" He nursed his head as his wolf declared "Mate is a fairy." Nicholas sat down on the bed with relief. "My beautiful little Fairy." He thought as he once again looked out the window. He couldn't wait to get home now.
