CHAPTER THIRTEEN

NOVA

My eyes fluttered open as I shifted in my bed. I’d tried to take Doctor Callahan’s advice and get some sleep before the guys came back, but I’d struggled, my mind whirling as I tried to deal with everything that had happened that day. Eventually, the doctor had returned and given me a sedative that had helped me drift off to sleep, but my dreams had been tense, and I didn’t feel as though the sleep had done me much good. The pain killers were clearly wearing off, and although my wolfish healing ability was clearing up the surface wounds, it was taking a little longer on the inside, and I still felt... well, like I’d been hit by a truck.

I gazed around the room, rubbing the sleep from my eyes, and wondered if I should call a nurse as my head throbbed in pain.

The light that filtered through the hospital blinds was more golden than it had been before, and I guessed it was nearing late afternoon. Nerves roiled in my stomach as I thought about the guys returning. It was time to tell them everything. Maverick had been unbelievable that afternoon, and for a moment, I’d let myself believe that I could stay, and that I could somehow keep the rest to myself and just live with it, but I’d known it couldn’t happen. There was no way I could live my life day in and day out knowing what had happened to their brother without telling them or giving them any sort of closure. It would have made me as bad as Ethan. I hadn’t believed Maverick would be so understanding about the baby, and I’d been desperate to hold onto him, but even he could only take so much.

I shifted on the bed, feeling restless. I wasn’t looking forward to revealing everything I’d kept from them, but at the same time, the wait was unbearable. I just wanted to get it out in the open and deal with whatever came my way. The door opened, and I sat up, adrenaline racing through me, but when a nurse popped her head around the door and smiled at me, I sank back against the sheets.

“Ready for something to eat?” she asked.

Not really, but I’d need something to keep my strength up, and the baby would need sustenance too. I nodded, and she smiled again, ducking back out into the corridor. She reappeared with a tray of something, chatting the whole time, but her words washed over me. I just tried to nod and smile in the right places.

“...and Doctor Callahan has finished his shift, so Doctor Kell will be along shortly just to check on you, but don’t worry, she’s lovely.”

I nodded. “Thank you, I appreciate it.”

“Not at all, my love. You just look after yourself and that little one.”

She left me alone, and I forced myself to eat a few bites of dinner. I could only manage half, because I was still wound up with nerves, and I jumped again when the door opened a second time.
