    Chapter 27


    Artemisia


    The constant low beeping is the first thing I hear as I open my eyes. I jerk up, finding an older man


    holding his hand out to me. “Oh, hello there.”


    He smiles brightly as he sticks his pen back into the front pocket of his white coat. His blue shirt and


    colorful tiebined with his semi-bald and U-shaped hair round up the perfect picture of a doctor.


    “I’m Dr. Davies, very nice to meet you.”

    I clear my throat, my voiceing out raspy. “What happened? Where am I?”


    “You are in the best pack hospital there is, my dear. Your mate brought you in,” he exins with a


    smile. "Apparently you hit your head and your wolf wasn’t barging in. So, we did a few checks. If you


    don’t mind, I would call in the Alpha.”


    I nod, sping the thick nket and he smiles again. “Very well.”


    He goes to open the door that is hidden behind a curtain hanging around my bed, but I don’t need to


    see him to know that he stepped into the room. His scent calms my nervousness instantaneously,


    and Iy down on my pillow taking a deep breath.


    “How are you feeling?” Cayden asks me, making me open my eyes to look at him.


    He is wearing his usual tailored suit and stands at the end of my bed with a worried frown.


    “I’m fine,” I say, making him shake his head. “Would you please not punish Fynn? He didn’t know


    and I provoked him as we were fighting.”


    “Yes, they told me about it. But this is still no excuse to hurt you.” He answers calmly and I knead my


    fingers.


    “Please, Cayden. I’m sure that he didn’t want to hurt me. I was hurt and did something I shouldn’t


    have done. I should have known what wasing for me. And if he keeps getting punishments, it


    will just get worse as he will always try to one-up Logan and Matthew,” I plead, cursing the mate


    bond for feeling this pity for him as he doesn’t deserve it.


    He clicks his tongue, and I sit back up. “Cayden, please.”


    Dr. Davies stands next to him with a lowered gaze as the Alpha addresses him to change the


    subject. “So, what is it?”


    “Oh,” he jerks up, opening the file in his hands. “Just a minor concussion, Alpha. Nothing that we


    can’t take care of. Our tests also established that her wolf is doing fine and she seems to be fully


    healthy. We will keep her overnight, just to be on the safe side. Afterwards, she can return home, but


    she will have to rest.”


    “Of course,” Cayden nods. “Thank you, doctor.”


    “All my pleasure, Alpha.” He bows before turning to me. “I will leave you alone and check on you in


    a bit with a new coldpression.”


    I thank him with a smile before he bows again, and leaves the room.


    Cayden sighs deeply as he sits down on the chair beside my bed. “I’m sorry for all this trouble,


    Cayden. You must have more important things to do.”


    “Don’t worry, Missy. I’m just d that you are alright.” He squeezes my hand on the covers, but even


    before I can wrap my head around how soothing his touch feels, he has already pulled his hand


    back.


    “I’m actually sorry that I didn’t take time to talk to you in these days. Fynn threw us off our guards as


    he went to collect you. We had discussed taking it easy as it must be a shock to you, but you should


    know how he is by now.”


    My heart flips in my chest as he finally smiles at me, even if it’s an exhausted smile.


    “What is it?” He lifts his eyebrow at me, and I blush.


    “Sorry, I was just waiting to see your smile.”


    As he knits his eyebrows, I gesture with my hands, which does not help with my rambling. “You


    know… since theke… You didn’t… Argh, can we forget this and start all over again?”


    “Sure,” he chuckles, making my heart skip a beat. “But now it is more important that you take your


    time to rest, and get better. I’ll make up for having you torn out of your pack this drastically, and I will


    finally introduce you to the pack.”


    “Thank you, Cayden. You don’t have to feel bad, it was his right after all. If you find your mate, it is


    customary that you get to im her.” I smile at him, hoping to cheer him up.


    Sighing, he gets up, “Yeah, but our situation is a bit special. We should have been more cautious


    about it. Also, your brother has alreadyined to me, so… I really hope you will forgive us.”


    “There is nothing to be forgiven, Cayden. Don’t worry. I’m happy, even if confused and exhausted…


    But I’m fine, trust me.” I try to convince myself along with him as I sp my nkets.


    He nods, leaning down to press a kiss on my head. “Good night, Missy.”


    “Good night, Cayden.”


    He is about to step out of my room as he turns around right before he disappears behind the


    curtains. “I’m d that you are taking his defence. I was always preupied about him getting


    someone who wouldn’t understand him. He doesn’t always deserve it, but he is a good man, and


    even if he doesn’t show it, I’m sure that he is quite fond of you already.”


    An ufortable feeling knots in my stomach as I see him distort his face in worry, but I force up a


    happy expression. “I’m sure of it!”
