Mated To The Lycan King

Chapter 62

Avalynn POV

I walked into the makeshift hospital. It looked like it was in the process of being expanded into a new hospital. The smell of blood was thick in the air. I looked around at the waiting area at everyone waiting to be seen. The medical staff were busy attending to any serious injuries that occurred during the battle. When people noticed I walked in the room, it got quiet and heads bowed. I raised my hand and a small smile came to my mouth before I spoke to the crowd of people.

“Please, do not stop on my account. Continue doing whatever it is that you are all doing But let me say thank you to everyone for all of the hard work and bravery that I witnessed today out there. It has not gone unnoticed.” I bowed to them all instead of them to me to show my respect towards them.

A nurse walked over to me with a few charts in her hand. She made a quick curtsy and introduced herself “Queen Avalynn, it is so wonderful to be in your presence, in unfortunate circumstances, of course. I am nurse Mary. Would you please follow me?”

I nodded “It is an unfortunate circumstance but very nice to meet you, nurse Mary. Please, lead the way.”

i followed behind her as she walked quickly through the hallways of the small hospital with purpose. She took me to a conference room and motioned for me to sit at the head of the table. I sat down and she offered me some tea and food. My stomach growled as I happily accepted the offer of food.

“The doctors who have been working continuously on the King will be here in just a moment with any updates. I think there may be talk of surgery. I am not sure though, so don’t hold me to it. Thank you, Queen Avalynn, for everything. I must go now, but if you need anything at all, please hit this button.” She handed me a remote control with different buttons on it.

“Thank you, nurse Mary, for everything you are doing for our injured people.” She smiled and left the room.

I ate my sandwich and sipped my tea. I moved the swivel chair back and forth in short quarter spins as I looked around the room. The table was a warm and well polished wood that was slick to the touch, the chairs were all the same, except the one I was sitting in. Mine was leather and very comfortable, while the others were navy blue cushioned cloth chairs. The walls were a soft gray color with different medical photos on the walls. You know, your typical doctor’s office hanging art.

I waited for twenty minutes in anticipation for an update. I knew that his condition was serious, as my body was aching from all of the pain he was in earlier. Now it has eased off a bit. I assume it is because they have him on some pain medication. A soft knock sounded from the door and I stood as they all entered the room, one by one. Three men and two women filled the room and stood behind the chairs.

“Hello, everyone.” I said to them all. They bowed their heads and greeted me in unison “Hello, Queen Avalynn.”

I sat and motioned for them to do the same and they all followed behind. I glanced at them all when I noticed only one had paperwork in his hand and he was the one to start talking. He introduced himself and listed the names of all of the others in the room. His name was Derrick Morrison and he was the Chief of Surgery here.

He opened the file and passed some x-rays off to one of the women and she stood, placing them on the machine and flipped the switch with a light coming on. It was an image of his severely broken bones. So many images and the healing process had already begun. They would have to rebreak any bones that

had begun to heal improperly. So much pain he would have to go through. I stood and walked over in front of the light, looking at the various images on the screen.

Photos of his arms, chest, neck and face were horrific looking. I felt my Lycan push forward to look at them with me.

“This, this is bad. Isn’t it?” she asked in my mind.

“Yes, very bad. He is lucky to be alive. If he wasn’t a lycan. / fear he would be dead.” / told her.

“I am going to torture him, I am going to have bu beg for mercy. Push him to the brink of death and allow himself to heal. There will be no mercy given to him. She promised and agreed with her.

“Queen Avalynn?” I looked up and realized all eyes were on me as the chief was looking at me, as if i was to answer some kind question

“I do apologize, I just. I am not all here mentally I am just worried about him and my mind is going a million miles an hour.” My voice cracked as I confessed to them

Chief Morrison smiled at me and nodded his head, understanding me “Would you like to see him before we take him back?”

I nodded my head and looked around the table They all smiled at me I stood with them and followed them down the hall. We entered his room and the doctor paused at the open door “His surgery is in fifteen minutes. He may not be able to talk much due to all of the meds he is on to slow his natural healing abilities and pain medication” | nodded my head at him and turned to look at Everest

I heard the door shut behind me and slowly making my way over to his bed The soft sounds of beeping on the machine next to his bed My eyes followed the cords that connected the machine down to him. My heart felt like it flew up into my throat when my eyes laid upon him. He had cuts and bruises all over

him. His collar bone slumped, pulling his right shoulder down. It had clearly been broken. He had a huge open gash on his chest. It was red and obviously infected.

I pulled up a chair to sit next to his bed. I took his hand in my own and held onto it. I spoke softly to him “I am here and will not leave your side. Everything has been taken care of. We will have to figure out a way to repay Brent and Miranda. They’re taking Dexter to the cells and keeping him out of it thanks to Miranda’s magic. I love you.” I leaned over and placed a kiss on the top of his head.

I sat there in silence and listening to him breathe. I swore he squeezed my hand just as the doctor softly knocked and came into the room. NôvelDrama.Org owns all © content.

“It is time for us to take him back.” A nurse said to me and I nodded.

“Okay.” I stood and looked down at Everest for a moment before leaning over and placing a soft and gentle kiss upon the top of his head. “I will see you soon.” I whispered and watched the team wheel him out of the room.

I sat down in the chair and waited for his return, praying to the Moon Goddess that everything would be fine. I felt some mild discomfort during his time under the knife. A knock sounded on the door and i looked up as Claire walked into the room. She had a small smile on her face and I returned the smile to her. The smile, however, was not a direct reflection of my mood

“How are you holding up? Any news?” She asked as she sat down on the other chair in the room.

I shook my head at her. “No, nothing yet. They said it could be a few hours to fix the things that are wrong with him.”

“He’s going to be okay, Avalynn.” She leaned over and lightly pat my leg. “I am here for you. Josh is downstairs with Jeremy talking about his new mate.” She let out a soft sigh.

s”t, I completely forgot about her with everything going on, Guilt filled me, I should go talk to Jeremy and make sure he is holding up okay. “Oh, how is she doing?”

“She is fine. She had four ribs fractured, a broken arm, a terrible bruise along the spine of her back. Otherwise, she’s okay.” She told me.

“I need to go talk to them and make my rounds through the hospital to check on everyone.” I went to stand up and another soft knock sounded on the door.

“Come in?” in walked my brother and Jeremy right behind him. I walked over to my brother and his arms opened for me and I hugged him. I cried for the first time in a long time. He just stood there and held me and allowed me that moment of weakness to cry. I was worried for my mate, for the future of our kingdom.just everything was sitting so heavy on my shoulders.

“It’s okay. He is going to be okay.” I heard him whisper.

I stood straight after a few minutes and wiped the tears from my eyes. “Thank you Josh. I needed that hug.” He moved to stand next to Claire. I turned my attention over to Jeremy. “How is she doing?”

His brows raised and he shrugged his shoulders slightly. “Candace will be okay. Her arm started the healing process and they had to rebreak her arm so it could heal properly. Her ribs were healing fine on their own, so they didn’t have to do anything there. She is asleep right now though.” His hands went into his pockets as he leaned against the wall. “How is my cousin?”

I sighed and looked down at my feet for a moment before looking back up to him. I explained everything that the doctor had told me. He nodded his head and he looked worried about him. “I still stand by what I said Avalynn. I will make sure that you are fine and taken care of regardless.” I closed my eyes and nodded my head.

“He truly wants what is best for his cousins’ well being. That is sweet. It may have been a flirtatious notion before hand, but now I see he is being genuine. That’s nice.” I heard my Lycan’s voice drift through my mind as she invaded his.

“Thank you, Jeremy. I hope and pray, for us all, that Everest will be okay and will survive this.” I told him.

Josh spoke up “I have faith that our Moon Goddess will not fail us and let evil win.” “No, she will not let evil win over good,” Claire said, and Jeremy nodded in agreement. I sat back down and we all sat in a comfortable silence together waiting for any news.
