Tattooed Luna novel (Kristen and Alec) novel Chapter 543

“Woman…” Alec shook his head but looked at me just like I pictured. “You need to stop trying to die on me. Do you know what it’s like to watch your mate lifeless under your arms? You take a piece of me with you every time this happens.”

“I didn’t try to go in the water. I tried to get out.” I felt bad he went through this but it wasn’t like I put myself in that position.

“I know. Look at the bruises that are forming on your arms.”

Pulling the blanket to the side, my arm slipped out from under the heated blanket. Deep purple bruises were forming on my arms. There was multiple spots where my arms hit the edge of the ice. “Oh.”

There was a soft knock on the door a moment before the nurse looked in. “How are you feeling?” She asked. Walking in, she had a medical boot and clothes with her.

“Ready to go home.”

“I bet. Let me take the I.V. out. I have a wheel chair for you. As much as you probably don’t want it, you body is still not functioning property. Until you get back to a normal temp, be careful holding babies, anything breakable or doing anything strenuous. You will probably be sore tomorrow but again, your wolf will heal you. If I may, take a hot shower and body heat is the best way to keep your body tempature where it needs to be.”

She had pulled the I.V out and put a bandage over it. “Sounds good.” I said as I tried to sit up. She was right, I was incredibly weak.

“I don’t have anything warmer than scrubs.” The nurse frowned. “Did you still have the blanket you brought her in?” She asked Alec.

“Yeah, I’ll have them bring it.” Alec sighed as he helped me sit up. Together, they got me dressed and the nurse but on the boot.

“Can you carry her to the wheelchair?” The nurse asked as she helped me swing my legs around.

“Sure.”

“Gently.” I said as my body protested

“Still think you are up for sex?” Alec asked in the mind-link.

“Of course. I’ll just lay there and you can do all the work.” I said as he placed me in the wheelchair. It was just outside the room so I saw Jasper walk up with the blanket.

“Damn, luna. You look like shit.” He joked.

Alec growled and I laughed. Which hurt. “Even half dead, I look better than you.”

“Luna?” The nurse asked, she took a step back and looked at Alec. “What pack are you from?”

“Black Moon Pack.” Alec said.

“I should have recognized your names. I’m part of Alpha Jace’s pack.”

“Little far from home, aren’t you?” Alec asked.

“I am. I am part of a traveling nursing program. It was a pleasure to meet you both. I hope next time I see you it isn’t in the hosptial.” She bowed and started to walk away.

“Yeah. You need to take a shower to finish warming up. Then we will get you in some comfy clothes.”

The door opened and Alec carried me out into the cold. Burying my head in his chest, I was vaguely aware of Colt opening the door for Alec. “I’ll be back later. Text me when you got her situated. I’ll make some calls.”

Alec didn’t verbally answer but when the door shut, I assumed he nodded. Alec carried me all the way to the bathroom. Sitting me on the toilet, he turned the shower on. He didn’t say anything as he took my boot off and then got me undressed. He got himself undressed and then helped me into the shower.

At first the water was too much so Alec turned it down until I got comfortable then turned it up. Soon, my shivers stopped and my skin turned red. Thankfully, we had a bench that Alec could sit me on as he washed my hair and then my body. As the water hit me, he washed his body.

After he was done, he kneeled in front of me. “How are you feeling? Do you want to sit here longer?”

Since we had shower head all the way down the wall on both sides, I was staying warm. “Can I sit here a little longer?”

“Of course.” Alec stood and moved to get out.

“Stay with me?” I asked quickly and reached out to grab his hand.

That surprised him that I was showing this much vulnerability. Usually, I like to be alone but right now, I wanted him with me. Thankfully, he didn’t respond but he picked me up and sat down, putting me on his lap. It wasn’t sexual but more of comfort. Leaning forward, I rested my head on his chest, relaxing to his breathing patterns.
