Now,
how the hell am I going to get myself out of this? Rose silently grumbled as she listened
to
two
bears trying to bring down the walls with their snoring. Mason and Riker, the
alpha and beta
of
the neighboring bear clan, were fast asleep on air mattresses that had been
dragged into her
recovery
room. She was surprised the mattresses hadn’t exploded by now.
She
wasn’t sure how long she’d been unconscious, but it was dark outside and the
pack
house
was silent. She felt every one of the stitches that crisscrossed her body.
Those damn
hyenas
had made her pay for protecting her alpha matriarch, Raz, and Rose knew it was
going to
take
some serious time for her to heal. Funny, she’d come to the North Woods Pack
covered in
injuries,
and now that she’d met her mates, she’d be leaving in the same condition.
Rose
tried to move her left leg but was barely able to contain the scream of pain
from
bursting
through her lips. Right,
no moving. She was running out
of options, and Rose really
needed
to use the bathroom. Her molars were floating. She’d have to bite the bullet.
“Um…”
Rose mumbled, not knowing what to say.
She’d
never seen two men that large move so fast. It stunned her how quickly they
were at
her
bedside. They looked panicked and their eyes turned darker than their usual
amber. Wolf
shifters’
eyes turned to amber when their wolves were near the surface, while bear
shifters’ eyes
turned
dark brown.
Mason
scanned the room and Riker checked her over before pulling her blanket up to
her
chin.
“We’re glad you’re awake. We’ve been so worried,” he said in a rush as he
leaned over the
bed
blocking the light with his big body.
Male
bear shifters tended to be large even in their human form. They were over seven
feet
tall
and weighed around two hundred and seventy-five pounds. From what she could
see, it was
all
muscle. She was enjoying the view, but her bladder was making its demand clear.
She had to
suck
it up, no matter how embarrassing this was.
“I
need to go to the bathroom,” Rose mumbled. “I can’t seem to move.”
Mason
and Riker looked at each other, and as she watched their silent communication,
she
marveled
at the brothers’ resemblance. Both had sandy blond hair—though Riker’s reached
his
shoulders
while Mason’s was cut short—wide-set eyes that were rich amber when in their
human
forms,
strong jaws and delicious full lips. Both men had a patch of golden chest hair
peeking out
from
their shirt collars, and both were sculpted like Greek statues. Sure, she’d
seen Mason naked
when
he shifted, but she had been bleeding to death at the time and had been a bit
distracted.
“I’ll
carry you to the bathroom, but it’s still going to hurt. Maybe we can get Doc
in here to
give
you something to ease the pain,” Mason offered.
She
could see the worry in his eyes but she’d waited too long already and couldn’t
take the
pressure
any longer. “No time. Gotta go…now,” Rose begged as she began pushing herself
up.
The
pain was instantaneous and caused her head to spin, but she wasn’t going to pee
the bed.
Mason
moved quickly, reached down and slid his big arms underneath her back and
knees.
“Easy
there, hon. I’ve got you.”
She
couldn’t help her cry of pain, but being surrounded by her these bears and
their heavenly
scent
of forest after a rain helped soothe her. Mason’s scent held something a little
different, a
spice
of some sort she couldn’t place. It didn’t matter what it was, all that was
important right
now
was it helped her pain subside.
Once
she had her breathing under control, Mason continued to move toward the bathroom
while
Riker slipped out the clinic door. Thankfully, she was wearing one of those
hospital robe
with
the opening in the back. It saved her from having him pull down her pants. He
set her down
to
relieve herself then waited outside the open door with his back to her. After
she’d done her
business,
Mason held her so she could wash her hands. Big hands, which could turn into
massive
paws
with four-inch razor sharp claws, carefully avoided her injuries with a
bunny-soft touch.
He
asked, “Do you need to do anything else in here?”
She
ran her tongue over her teeth and thought, yuck, slime. then grabbed a plastic-wrapped
toothbrush,
took it out of its packaging, then squirted toothpaste on it and got busy.
“That
it?” He grinned as she finished rinsing.
Well,
since he was holding her up, and she could maneuver the upper part of her body
without
too much pain, she took out a hair brush from its wrapping and began to tackle
her mop.
When
she tried to reach the back of her head, the pull made her wince. He slid the
brush from her
hand
and started to smooth the tangles she couldn’t reach, all while continuing to
support her
with
the strength of his lower body.
As
he placed the brush back on the counter, he rumbled, “Done?”
“Feel
like polishing my nails?” she teased.
“Mani-pedi?”
She
laughed, then grabbed her side.
“Yeah,
we’re done.”
He
swooped her into his strong arms and carried her to the bed, and had her tucked
in as if
she’d
never left. He brought a glass of water to her lips, and she wanted to tell him
she could do
that
for herself, but he seemed to need to do it for her. She noticed how quiet
Mason had been. If
she
had to guess, worry was making him watchful and subdued.
The
door opened and Riker peeked his head inside before pushing it all the way in
for a
woman
to enter. She had a variation of Rose’s mates’ scents, which was weird, but she
discovered
why when Riker said, “This is our sister and our clan’s doctor, Jewel.”
“Are
you the one I have to thank for all these stitches?” Rose arched a brow.
Jewel
looked uncertain but answered, “Yes, Alpha Matriarch.” Words Rose never thought
would
be directed at her; at least she had hoped never to hear them. Though she was
an alpha
wolf
shifter, she never wanted to lead anyone.
Rose
made a point of talking softly when she said, “Thank you for putting me back
together
and
saving my life. I owe you a great debt.”
“You
owe me nothing. We are family and you are the alpha matriarch of our clan. It
was an
honor
to help you.” Jewel came around to the side of the table and began inspecting
Rose’s
wounds.
“I have some medication that will help with the pain until your natural healing
ability
kicks
in.”
“How
long do you think it will take before I’m healed enough to get around on my
own?” I
hate
being an invalid, and it’s particularly embarrassing having to be carried to
the toilet.
“I’m
sorry, Matriarch, but it will be at least ten to fourteen days before we can
take the
stitches
out over your joints. The remainder can come out sooner. I can’t imagine you
being able
to
move comfortably until the worst of the stitches can be removed.”
Jewel
handed Rose her medication and Mason helped her sit up to take it. She wasn’t
too
proud
to admit she needed it, but at least it would be for a short time. She looked
around the
recovery
room, and between the machines and all the medical equipment; it was cold and
sterile.
She
wasn’t going to heal staying in here.
“Can
I return to my room to heal?”
“Yes,
of course, Matriarch,” Jewel answered quickly.
Before
she could even ask, Riker was collecting her into his arms much the same as
Mason
had.
“You direct us, and we’ll take you there.”
Clearly,
she wasn’t going to get any alone time for the foreseeable future. It wasn’t as
if she
didn’t
feel the pull of Mason and Riker. Rose wouldn’t lie to herself—if she hadn’t
been injured
she
might be all over them right now, but the injuries provided more time to get
used to the idea
of
having two mates and becoming a matriarch of her own pack, or clan in this
case. Would they
accept
a wolf as a bear matriarch? She was getting too far ahead of herself.
