Chapter 0603
“Your skin is looking much better.” Alec whispered in my ear.
By the time we made it home, we both had passed out in bed. With his arms gently placed around me, I was able to sleep comfortably and safely. I had just started waking up when he started moving his hand down my arm and around my back. Where the scarring was the worst, I was only able to feel a light version of the sparks but they were still there.
“Am I healed?” Opening my eyes, I started looking at my skin. Everything looks days old. There wasn’t any open wounds and everything was either scabbed over or scarring. My tissue was still red and angry but not as puffy as it was.
“Enough that we can focus on where they are at and get her back.” Alec kissed my
head before I felt the bed shift from him ) getting out.
“I should be good to shower ther:*-twas ' talking more out loud to myself than to Alec but he still turned around and I nodded.
“Yeah, you should be good. I am going to call Colt and get moving.” As he walked out of the bedroom, I was left to get myself showered. My shoulders were sore but not as bad. The determination from both of our wolves really did me good. However, my wolf was completely spent. She was passed out. This was the first time that I have ever felt her energy be so low. It will probably take a few days to get back to where it needs to be, Alec’s too, I'm sure.
I'wanted to take a hot shower but figured the cooler water would be better as to not irritated the redness more. However, I would have to agree with Alec. My skin was looking much better. It was nice to be
able to shampoo my uneven hair and my ) body I Since it was cooler water, it was a short I shower. It was only when I started I brushing my hair that I realized how I uneven it was. There was some sadness I but my eyes landed on a pair of scissors and my brain turned off. Before I knew what I was doing, the scissors were evening out my hair. Chunks of hair fell in the sink.
“What ar-" Alec walked in to the bathroom but stopped when he realized what I was doing.
“It was uneven so I was trying to fix it.” By the time I was done, it was at my shoulders. Never in my life had I ever had it this short but it wasn’t terrible. It was by no means an even haircut but it was much better than it was.
“I think you got it pretty good. Here, let me get some in the back.” Alec took the scissors from me and did a few snips
I before setting them done. “Ready to get ) dressed?” “I am. Did you get ahold of Colt? What's the plan?” Walking to our closet, I put on I some loser joggers since my skin was still tender. noveldrama
I “I did. We are going to head over there while he makes a few calls. He did sent a scout down there and they should have arrived about an hour ago.” “I don’t like waiting and being this far away. Can’t we go down there and do our own scouting or just be there? I need to know we are close to her. Maybe when something comes in, we will be able to move quicker.” “I don’t disagree but I don’t want to accidentally be seen and scary them away. That could make it even harder to find them or impossible.” After pulling on a sweater, I pulled my hair in a braid. “Okay, let's go.” It wasn't
exactly defeat I was feeling but I just ) wanted my baby back in my arms i Alec followed me out of the closetand to the car. “Do you want breakfast?” “I’m not hungry.” 1 said as we got into {his truck. Our vehicles were starting to be limited.
“You can’t neglect yourself. Adalynn needs a healthy mother for when we get her back.” “Did you eat breakfast?” I pushed. Alec started the engine and pulled out of the garage.
“That’s different. I am a man.” “Full of shit is what you are.” Folding my arms, I was partially annoyed.
“Here.” Alec nudged me and handed me a chocolate muffin. There was a bottle of water in my cup holder. When that got there, I wasn’t sure.
I “Smooth.” I would have refused it but it } was chocolate so who was I to not eat breakfast. Still, wondering if Adalynn was I getting fed properly or just treated correctly left me to just nibble on the I muffin.
Alec didn’t answer me but focused on driving. The roads had been cleared for the most part but I was over the cold, snowy season. I wanted the sun.
By the time we made it to Alec’s pack, I had finished the top of my muffin. Alec seemed pleased with that and didn’t argue with me when I left the rest on the center consol.
“How are you feeling?” Colt got my attention as we went up the stairs.
“Like a million bucks.” I said, instantly remembering that I said that in the hospital but Alec didn’t relay that message correctly. I was going to say something but decided it wasn’t worth it.
“You do look better. Still a little funky ) and people can tell us apart now though.” Colt rested his arm around my shoulders I and guided me inside.
“They could always tell us apart.” Rolling I my eyes, I had to hold back from I flinching as he squeezed my shoulder.
“Shit! Sorry!” Colt must have seen the little bit my face moved.
“It’s okay. Still sore but it does look better.” Colt opened his office and let us in. Penny was at her desk, working away. She barely looked up before she went back to what she was doing. “Cold, I want to go to Florida and wait for any news. I can’t sit here and do nothing.” I said firmly. He wasn’t going to argue with me or I was prepared to pull the burning victim card.
