Chapter 462

The silence was thick on the other side of the phone. The nurse pulled me forward, and I grunted. โ€œWhatโ€™s wrong? Whatโ€™s happening?โ€ Rowan sounded slightly panicked.

The nurse snickered. โ€œI moved Amy forward so I could clean her back and then wrap her chest.โ€

โ€œWrap her chest?โ€ He sounded confused. โ€œWhy are you wrapping her chest?โ€

I dropped my head, but the nurse just smirked. โ€œWhen we cut away her top to reach her ribs, we also had to cut away her bra. For her privacy, this was the solution.โ€ There was a soft intake of breath on the other side of the phone, but she continued.

โ€œAlso, someone called the clinic and yelled at the doctor. He didnโ€™t want to chance anything being misconstrued. The doctor was clearly afraid of whoever called.โ€ The nurse wiggled her eyebrows at me, noting the silence on the other end. She nodded toward the phone with her lips. I shook my head, unable to suppress a smile. She winked. โ€œIโ€™m wrapping her chest so he can come in here and properly wrap her ribs.โ€

There was another awkward silence. Then he coughed. โ€œWell, as long as Amy is taken care of.โ€ Another silence followed.

I coughed this time. The nurse giggled again. โ€œLift your arms as high as you can so we can tuck these away.โ€

I laughed. โ€œMy king,โ€ I said, shaking my head as Jenn blushed. โ€œI hoped that, because of the broken mating agreement and this attack, you would give me permission to transfer out of this pack by midnight tonight?โ€

His voice was soft. โ€œIโ€™ve missed that.โ€

I furrowed my brow. โ€œI asked if I couldโ€”โ€

โ€œI heard you,โ€ he interrupted. โ€œYes. I will give you permission to transfer. What pack are you transferring to?โ€ He asked, but I knew he knew.

โ€œI would like your permission to take the chance of going back to my fatherโ€™s pack lands.โ€ The nurse paused before finishing, โ€œIโ€™m done here. Call when you are done.โ€ Jenn pushed the call button into my hand. She helped me lie back against the bed with a hiss, then left me alone with a soft click.

โ€œDo you think thatโ€™s wise?โ€ He sounded genuinely curious.

โ€œItโ€™s the only option my wolves agree with. We could go to Toyaโ€™s pack, but she will be our alphaโ€ฆโ€

โ€œAnd you are stronger than she is,โ€ he finished.

โ€œYeah.โ€

โ€œNix will force you to take over.โ€

โ€œAnd I wouldnโ€™t want to do that to Toya.โ€ He sighed. โ€œIโ€™ll be safe. Iโ€™ll scope it out first. See if there is recent rogue activity.โ€ He snorted. โ€œI swear, if there is, Iโ€™ll transfer to another pack.โ€

He was silent for a few minutes. โ€œFine.โ€

โ€œCan you possibly send a letter with the approval to my office fax?โ€

โ€œWhy?โ€

โ€œBecause if you send it just to Vince, he will say he never received it. Then spend the next week trying to convince me to still marry his son.โ€

He growled, but then agreed. โ€œOkay. Iโ€™ll send it to your office now.โ€

โ€œActually, could you wait?โ€

He groaned. โ€œWhy?โ€

โ€œBecause I need to get there first.โ€ Obviously.

Nix chuffed out a laugh. Heโ€™s a man; he isnโ€™t that smart.

Orโ€ฆ Megan cut in, maybe he is just so blown away by speaking with you, he isnโ€™t thinking straight.

I snorted. But he laughed too. โ€œYeah, I didnโ€™t think of that.โ€ He knocked once on a table. โ€œYeah, just text me when you get there and Iโ€™ll send it to you first. Then Iโ€™ll send it to Vince.โ€

โ€œThank you, my king.โ€ He disconnected before I could say anything else. I sighed, then pushed the call button.

Luke and Jenn walked in. โ€œAll done.โ€ I just nodded. โ€œPerfect. Letโ€™s get you wrapped and out of here.โ€ He grabbed the tensor and started to wrap. โ€œWe just need them to stay in place until whatever is in your system clears out, so you heal properly.โ€

I nodded. โ€œThank you.โ€

He came around to face me. โ€œJenn told me you are planning on going back to the office today?โ€ I nodded. โ€œI need you to be extra careful. You are still bleeding internally, and your ribs are really fragile. One wrong move and itโ€™s going to pop out of the skin again.โ€

I nodded. โ€œI understand. But I need to.โ€ He looked at me for a second before nodding. โ€œOkay.โ€ He held out his hand, and Jenn came up to the other side of me. โ€œThen letโ€™s get you up.โ€

I puffed out my cheeks as I slid to the side of the bed, then to the edge. โ€œWait.โ€ Jenn grabbed something from the bed and slid it over my head. โ€œYour shirt.โ€ She helped me move my arms into the sleeves while I growls. โ€œThere you go.โ€ Then they helped me to my feet.

And then I puked.
