Chapter Six

“She needs to shift. She needs to rest. She needs to heal,” Scottie heard someone say.

“I swear to God if you say time heals all wounds, I’m going to gut you.” She recognized that voice. Shane. Why did he sound so distant?

Scottie’s limbs felt cold and heavy, too heavy to lift. She tried to open her eyes, but her lids refused to cooperate. What’s wrong with me?

She’d been attacked. The memory came back to her. And so did the pain. “Come back to me, kitten,” Shane said.

I’m here. Right here. Had her attacker done something that made it impossible for her to move or communicate? Had she been turned into a freaking vegetable?

“The Itan wants to speak with you, Shane,” she heard her aunt say.

“I’m not leaving Scottie.”

“I’ll stay with her, lover. I don’t think it will take long.”

Scottie felt the bed beneath her move. Shane had been holding her. She couldn’t feel his presence, but she definitely felt his absence.

“You’re man is a feisty one, baby.” Her aunt sounded sad, maybe even scared. “It’s been two days, and he hasn’t left your side.”

Two days. She’d been out for two days. How was that possible? And Shane had never left her side? Why? Why would he stick around for her? If the jaguar broke her neck, she would make a lousy date. Shane and his coma girl.

Tig kept talking. “He must have one impressive bladder because I don’t even think I’ve seen him get up to pee.”

The thought of Shane with a bladder the size of a watermelon, for some crazy reason, made Scottie happy.

“Did you just smile?”

I don’t know. Did I? Why couldn’t she speak? A rumble like vibration shook her body.

“She’s purring,” Tig shouted. “She’s fucking purring!”

The commotion of chairs being scooted across the floor and heavy footfalls happened next. She heard a chorus of voices, her mom’s, Tony’s, a gravelly voice of a man she didn’t know, and Shane.

Scottie wished all of them but Shane would shut up.

“Is she waking up?” Lin said.

“She smiled,” Tig told her. “I swear it. And look.” There was a short pause. “She’s purring!”

“But why isn’t she waking up?”

“I can help her shift,” the man whose voice she didn’t recognize said. A thunderous growl occurred, and the man added, “I have no designs on your mate, Shane Largos. If you don’t want my help, I’ll go in the other room.”

Mate? Who was Shane’s mate? Did he really have sex with her while he was mated to someone else? No. Was she his mate? No, not after one night. Or rather three, if you counted the two she was unaware of. That was just stupid. Why was her brain being stupid? Did the fight give her a brain injury?

Open eyes. Open. Open. Her lids felt almost glued shut, but finally, she blinked. Then again as Shane’s face was inches from her own. “Hello, kitten,” he said softly. “You need to shift.”

Shift? Her head felt like it was full of bricks, but she managed to lift it from the pillow.
