He fell to the side. His body hit the ground with an echoed thud and a splat.
Alexander stood taking deep, huffing breaths of air, watching as Jonas didn’t move. He took a step forward. It was a mistake.
Jonas swept his leg. Alexander watched in horror as the stone floor below rushed to meet his face. His vision went white, and he groaned as the fiery pain spread through his head, neck, and down into his body.
Alexander’s vision was swirling, and his limbs were refusing his commands. He was barely able to think straight.
He got to his knees. The world around him teetered. The last thing he saw was Jonas’ knee coming straight to his face.
Alexander woke in a room he didn’t recognize.
The ceiling above him was beige, the walls a slightly darker beige. There was a dresser to the right and a counter with a sink to the left. Just past the sink was an open door.
It was a hospital room. He was in a hospital bed. As he looked down, he realized, with a bit of irritation, that he was even in a hospital gown.
He tried to move, hissing as the pain in his chest burned with even the slightest movement.
“Careful,” came a soft voice from the door.
Alexander glanced over to see a woman walking into the room. She was tall and curvy with black and red hair tied back in three braids that turned into a ponytail. She wore jeans and a t-shirt with some band name he didn’t recognize.
“You still have a few hours before you’ve reached sitting up strength,” she smiled.
She held a laptop in her hand, which she set down on the counter, and then pulled over a stool to sit down and begin typing.
“Who are you?” Alexander asked. His throat ached, and he wondered if there was bruising on it as well.
The girl turned back to him and stood with a big smile.
“So sorry, totally forgot you have been asleep this whole time,” she laughed. “I’ve been talking up a storm with you, but of course, you don’t remember any of it. I’m Nessa.”
“Are you a nurse?” he asked.
Nessa laughed.
“Uh… no. I know a few basic things, like when your chest has been beaten and burned, moving around is not highly recommended,” she smiled. “But, no, I’m a computer geek. I don’t like to touch people, their insides or outsides. Just computers.”
“Why are you here?”
“Oh, well, Alpha Axel didn’t want you to be left alone, but he had some calls to make. And since it was my dad that got you here, I figured I could sit with you for a bit.”
“Jonas is your father?” Alexander asked.
Nessa nodded.
“How old are you?”
“Twenty-two,” Nessa replied.
Alexander furrowed his brow, he had met Jonas’ mate, Liara, she was no more than thirty.
“Oh, I see those wheels spinning,” Nessa laughed. “Liara isn’t my mom, I’m a Blood Moon baby.”
It happened often, the Blood Moon was a time when senses were heightened, which meant pleasure was heightened. Many times, wolves from different packs would enjoy each other. The children conceived under the Blood Moon were usually raised by the mother, but occasionally the father would be the one to raise them.
“My bio mom was not a fan of the whole baby thing, so she brought me here to dad. He was thrilled to have a little girl, big softie that he is.”
“I’m sorry, did you just describe Jonas as a big softie?” Alexander asked, with an eyebrow raised.
Nessa nodded.
“Let’s agree to disagree on that.”
Nessa laughed.
“Well, I mean, I’m not going around and challenging him to duel in silver and iron, so I guess we have different perspectives here.”
“Hey,” Alexander said. “He challenged me.”
“My mistake,” she chuckled.
“Glad you’re getting along,” Axel said as he entered the room. “How are you doing, Alexander?”
“Alive,” Alexander replied.
Axel nodded.
“I’m going to head out and give you guys some space to chat.”
Nessa grabbed her computer and left the room, closing the door behind her.
“I lost,” Alexander said suddenly.
“Yea,” Axel replied. “But it was a hell of a fight.”
“I lost.”
“Yes, and it was not as satisfying as I expected it to be,” Axel smiled.
Alexander huffed and looked away.
“Have you never lost?” Axel asked.
“A few sparring matches with Selene… otherwise, not in several years.”
“Wow…” Axel replied, taking a seat on the stool Nessa had been using. “You two really do have a lot of similarities.”
Alexander looked back toward Axel.
“What happened, after I lost,” he asked.
“They removed the chainmail and rushed you here,” Axel said. “I came with you. Jonas and his wolves stayed in the cave. I heard a group howl not long after we reached the entrance. I assume it was a victory celebration.”
“How long has it been?” Alexander asked.
“Four hours,” Axel replied. “Jonas is in his own room a few doors down. He was brought in about twenty minutes after you.”
Alexander sighed. His body ached; it would take the better part of the day to heal the wounds Jonas had inflicted on him. His only consolation was that Jonas was also laid up with injuries.
A knock at the door drew their attention.
Axel answered.
Alexander groaned as the door was pulled back, and he saw Jonas sitting in a wheelchair. His face was severely bruised, and he also wore a hospital gown. But the wide grin on his face just irritated the hell out of Alexander.
“Hey there, Summer,” Jonas smiled.
“You don’t look entirely pleased to see me,” Jonas smiled brightly. “I’m almost offended.”
“No, you’re not,” Alexander sighed.
Jonas laughed.
“No, I’m not. Go ahead and roll me in, Sweet Pea.”
Nessa appeared from the other side of Jonas and took control of his chair. Axel moved back to the stool as they entered the room.
“You boys behave,” Nessa smiled as she locked the break on the wheelchair and then left the room, shutting the door as she left.
“That was a hell of a fight, boy,” Jonas said.
Alexander grunted in response.
“Is he always this much of a wet blanket?” Jonas turned to Axel.
“Don’t ask me,” Axel chuckled.
