Chapter 462
The silence was thick on the other side of the phone. The nurse pulled me forward, and I grunted. โWhatโs wrong? Whatโs happening?โ Rowan sounded slightly panicked.
The nurse snickered. โI moved Amy forward so I could clean her back and then wrap her chest.โ
โWrap her chest?โ He sounded confused. โWhy are you wrapping her chest?โ
I dropped my head, but the nurse just smirked. โWhen 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.
โAlso, someone called the clinic and yelled at the doctor. He didnโt 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. โIโm wrapping her chest so he can come in here and properly wrap her ribs.โ
There was another awkward silence. Then he coughed. โWell, as long as Amy is taken care of.โ Another silence followed.
I coughed this time. The nurse giggled again. โLift your arms as high as you can so we can tuck these away.โ
I laughed. โMy king,โ I said, shaking my head as Jenn blushed. โI 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. โIโve missed that.โ
I furrowed my brow. โI asked if I couldโโ
โI heard you,โ he interrupted. โYes. I will give you permission to transfer. What pack are you transferring to?โ He asked, but I knew he knew.
โI would like your permission to take the chance of going back to my fatherโs pack lands.โ The nurse paused before finishing, โIโm 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.
โDo you think thatโs wise?โ He sounded genuinely curious.
โItโs the only option my wolves agree with. We could go to Toyaโs pack, but she will be our alphaโฆโ
โAnd you are stronger than she is,โ he finished.
โYeah.โ
โNix will force you to take over.โ
โAnd I wouldnโt want to do that to Toya.โ He sighed. โIโll be safe. Iโll scope it out first. See if there is recent rogue activity.โ He snorted. โI swear, if there is, Iโll transfer to another pack.โ
He was silent for a few minutes. โFine.โ
โCan you possibly send a letter with the approval to my office fax?โ
โWhy?โ
โBecause 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. โOkay. Iโll send it to your office now.โ
โActually, could you wait?โ
He groaned. โWhy?โ
โBecause I need to get there first.โ Obviously.
Nix chuffed out a laugh. Heโs a man; he isnโt that smart.
Orโฆ Megan cut in, maybe he is just so blown away by speaking with you, he isnโt thinking straight.
I snorted. But he laughed too. โYeah, I didnโt think of that.โ He knocked once on a table. โYeah, just text me when you get there and Iโll send it to you first. Then Iโll send it to Vince.โ
โThank you, my king.โ He disconnected before I could say anything else. I sighed, then pushed the call button.
Luke and Jenn walked in. โAll done.โ I just nodded. โPerfect. Letโs get you wrapped and out of here.โ He grabbed the tensor and started to wrap. โWe just need them to stay in place until whatever is in your system clears out, so you heal properly.โ
I nodded. โThank you.โ
He came around to face me. โJenn told me you are planning on going back to the office today?โ I nodded. โI need you to be extra careful. You are still bleeding internally, and your ribs are really fragile. One wrong move and itโs going to pop out of the skin again.โ
I nodded. โI understand. But I need to.โ He looked at me for a second before nodding. โOkay.โ He held out his hand, and Jenn came up to the other side of me. โThen letโs get you up.โ
I puffed out my cheeks as I slid to the side of the bed, then to the edge. โWait.โ Jenn grabbed something from the bed and slid it over my head. โYour shirt.โ She helped me move my arms into the sleeves while I growls. โThere you go.โ Then they helped me to my feet.
And then I puked.
