Amara
I groaned, shifting slightly and feeling something soft underneath me. I peeled my eyes opened and blinked, trying to get my eyes to adjust to the light. I realized the reason why my eyes werenât adjusting properly was because it was pitch black. I couldnât remember where I was and all I knew was that I felt like I had been hit by a truck.
âAmara?â
Deanâs voice was soft and rough, causing shivers to run down my body. I moaned, hating and loving my response. I shifted again, feeling around and realizing I was lying on a bed. I inhaled deeply and pulled myself up, cringing at the pain that flowed through me. âAmara, you need to take it easy. Youâve been out for four hours.â
I turned in the direction of Deanâs voice, panic starting to rise. âFour hours! Why didnât anyone wake me up?â
Dean snorted. âWe tried. You were out.â
I swung my legs off the bed and stood up slowly, making sure I wasnât about to keel over and face plant into the floor. I could hear Dean moving closer to me, ready to swoop in if I needed him. It made a warm feeling build low in my stomach and I had to actively squash those feelings down. That was not something I could deal with right now. We had way too much going on.
âCan we turn on a light or something?â I asked, putting my arms out and trying to feel for the wall. The light flipped on almost immediately. I blinked, dropping my arms and frowning at Dean, who was leaning against the doorframe.
âAlrightâ¦thanks.â
Dean nodded, staring intensely at me. The memory of the fight that had broken out between Luke and Dean before I passed out. I sucked in a sharp breath and stepped toward him. He raised an eyebrow. âHow are you?â I asked.
âI should be the one asking you that.â
âWell, you were the one who got into a huge fight with an Alpha. Are you still injured? Can I do anything?â I asked, getting even closer to him, and scanning him up and down. I didnât see any injuries immediately, but they could have been hidden.
Dean tilted his head, his stare becoming even more intense. I wanted to insist that he tell me exactly what happened, but I knew from experience that pushing a wolf wasnât a good idea. âWhat do you remember, Amara?â
I shrugged. âI donât remember much. You and Luke got into a fight after Sam slapped me. After that, everything is a blur and fuzzy. I donât really know much else.â
âYou healed both of us.â
âIâm sorryâ¦what?â
âYou healed Luke and I, with your weird magic. The same thing you did to heal Lily. After that, you passed out,â Dean explained. I sucked in a sharp breath. I closed my eyes and stumbled backward, dread filling me. I could hear Dean move forward, felt him grab my arms and keep me upright. He eased me backward and lowered me onto the bed. My breathing became shallow and I started hyperventilating.
