Chapter 16
She was sleeping as she healed but there was nothing I can do. I only woke up an hour ago looking at the bright sun, yet I am still tired. Since she is injured she sleeps a little more, even more when she is human. I sighed as I shifted into my wolf near her bed, I felt better like this. Looking out the large window and not feeling so alone, yet she is right. When you look out the window for so long you'll feel you need someone in someone life. Why does she act like a 50 year old mother sometimes, I walked over to the window seeing my breath. Why doesn't just relax a bit but that hypocritical of me. I just stared out the window feeling relaxed and safer around the Alpha.
"You have a beautiful wolf you know that Tally?" Xenia remarked at me. I wagged my tail feeling happy that the Alpha complimented me, an animal instinct I presume. She sighed as she looked out the window as well, sitting upwards to see well. I gave out a whine to tell her she was going to hurt herself. She just made a small laugh, "Don't worry about me Tally, I'll be fine now come here I want to pet you!" She squealed having her hands out her like a child, by force I was drawn to her. I put my head under her hand. She rubs my ears almost memorizing it. "I wish I can shift but after couple years, I kinda have forgotten how." She smiled down at me, "Maybe this is why I like seeing your wolf because I wish I can turn into mine." She commented.
I left her a whine as I nuzzled into her palm, she sighed looking out the bright window. "You should shift, a nurse will be coming soon or just hang out near the fountain," She suggested and I did what I was told, even though we are all werewolves it's unhealthy to change into a wolf near a patient; I just broke the rule. I heard her sigh, as she just looked over at me with a smile.
A nurse walked in, holding a tray of food, I held in my whine. She pulled out a chair sitting next to her but facing her. Placing the tray on her lap as she just smiled, she sighs almost out of relief. "Alpha Xenia, you're going to get yourself killed. I hope you know that." She just shakes her looking at Xenia in a motherly look. I noticed she was older than her, but yet she looks younger. It was a such a strange thing to notice. "You're like a daughter to me, well in this hospital." She laughed.
Xenia just laughed within the sigh, "I guess so, but we all know the hospital is for me to hang around and sleep." She laughed.
The nurse shook her head. "I know it is, I think that's why I come. To sleep and of course the view." She laughed but then coughed. The nurse held her chin after a cough putting some food in her mouth.
"You haven't been sleeping at home? I've told you at least get some sleep." The nurse commented as she wipes her lips with a napkin.
"People keep me up at night, the nightmares and all. One night I didn't have a nightmare, it was quite peaceful." She exclaimed happily but at the last words, she seems to sadden by it.
"Well, that's good." The nurse commented.
Xenia was a child, looking up to her with a small smile, almost a child would do. "I hope so but soon things got bad after that and I couldn't sleep." She frowned looking out the window. The nurse fed her again.
The nurse sighed picking up the empty cups and trays, "Next time you hide a wolf make sure she doesn't starve." I froze as she looked my way. "Come on out, I'll bring you some food."
Xenia just stood there holding her laughter as I growled at her as a warning. I didn't know I was hungry, I was listing to the two and now paying attention to myself. "Sorry Tally." Xenia joked.
I growled as I walked over to them, my face lowered as I walked over to Xenia; she sighed shaking her head, "I'll be back with food and some clothes." She laughed, shaking her head. She left without a word as I shifted bare, feeling that I should cover myself.
Xenia tossed me a blanket, I could tell she wasn't looking at me, "After all this time I still can't get over the nakedness of all this." She laughed as I wrapped the tan blanket around myself. I sat at the chair having my head down. "You must hear that my wolf is black with silver eyes." She changed subjects to herself. I sighed but I noticed something around her neck that I didn't earlier. I tilt my head to noticed it's shine under the sun. "Is something wrong?" She asked me but I just shook away my thoughts as I looked back at the ground.
"I thought I saw your necklace." She pulled out the metal chain and I was right. It was the crescent moon that seems to hung from that one chain, it was nothing special just has little designs on it but that's about it. "I was right, do you carry it around with you?" I asked her.
She shook her head, "Not really, I do wear it occasionally. I asked for it a while ago while you were asleep," She told to be as she inspected the small jewelry. "Sorry about that." She looked up at me with a small smile. I just nod my head with a small smile.
"Sorry I took it, I thought it was left out for me since I didn't see it there before." I apologized for a something a while ago.
She just sighed looking at me with a small smile, "It wasn't any problem," she sighed, then looking at the large window. "I know it's a common thing to say, but do you like it here?" She asked me with a frown on her face, almost she knew my answer.
"I do sometimes," I replied to her.
She just sighed turning her head away, "Can you go grab me a phone?" She asked me, her voice sounded strain. I just nod my head not wanting to hurt her any future than I wanted to do. I looked over at her but to see her looking out of the window. Her hands on her lap and just staring; I stood up going to the phone stand, it was cheap plastic home phones. I walked over to her as I handed over the phone to Xenia when our hands touch it was soft and cold. I pulled back. "Can you please Tally, I don't want to sound rude but I am quite busy. I have prepared for the festival." She looked at me with a smile.
I nod my head as I left the hospital room, I didn't look back but just exited the hospital, seeing it quite empty today, I looked around to see doctors walking around and some sipping on some coffee I presume. I walked out of the large building, to see the forest and a road, there were people walking around some in wolf form and old people looking at the with adoration. I continued to walk in the open garden. I saw a child sitting up looking up at the building. I walked up to her, sitting next to her. The water fountain behind us seems to be the only sound around us besides the chatter of the other people. I sighed looking at her. Her short brown hair and her silver wheelchair, I coughed. "Hello," I said.
She looked at me with shock expression, "I am sorry I didn't see you there." She apologized, I chuckled.
"Don't be, I came unannounced," I replied to her with a kind smile. "You're looking up at the top floor, why may I ask?" I tilt my head at the question.
She sighed, "I want to see Alpha, and I never met her." She looked down at her shoes. Her legs are almost sticks.
I thought about it for a bit, "Is there a reason?" I asked the child.
She moved her shoulders to relieve her tension. "I've always heard that she is a trouble maker, someone who likes to get hurt." She told me, "I want to talk to her, saying that we need her to be okay and happy." She looked up at me with a small smile. "I feel like she's the only family I got, even though I never spoke to her. Many of the other people had, I wish I can." She confessed looking up at the top floor.
I sighed, "I can help you." I told her, I don't know if I would regret this later.
She looked at me in shock, I sighed, she turned her wheelchair around. "How about tomorrow, now I am all excited!" She smiled. I couldn't say now, I smile and nod my head. I looked around, in my old pack, when their doctors came it was like this. Everyone happy, the doctors didn't tell anyone about themselves, I guess for their safety and this pack. I looked around to see Armando and his crew. "Brother!" The little girl yelled.
Armando looked at our ways, a huge smile spread across his face. He really ran towards her kneeling down to her level. "Hey, little Star." He laughed as he hugged her. When they let go of their embraced he looked over at me in shock. "Oh, it's you." He almost in shock but there was little anger.
I looked down, "She wants to help me see Alpha Xenia!" The little girl yelled excitedly.
"Oh really?" Then he said something in Spanish, then turn to me. "I could of let you see if you asked." He pouted.
She folds her arms, "Yeah right, 'I am so busy Star.' 'Not today Star.'" She mocked him with her arms folded across her chest. I laughed.
"I've been busy I'm sorry Star." He begged to get on his knees, I find it amusing, his hands intertwined with her owns, "Please, I'll try to speak to her." He begged with his eyes.
She looked away drawing away his hand; he faked hurt by putting his hand on his chest. "No, I want this girl to take me. I trust her more than you!" She playfully yelled at him. I leaned forward leaning against my palm, I find this cute and quite humorous. I watched them as he spoke in his natural language as she just shakes her head but then she grabs my arm, holding onto it like it's her property, "She's going to take me." She stuck out her tongue at him.
I laughed while he looked at me shockingly, "I didn't know you can laugh." He mumbles his words. He said something in Spanish, then he bowed his head; I shook my head as I lift him up with a smile.
"It's fine, I'll take her tomorrow," I told him. He just smiled and nods his head in response.
He looked up at me with almost uncertainty, "Alright, are you going to school tomorrow? If so I must be there with you. Xenia orders."
I nod my head as I spoke to him, "I am actually, then going to work." I told him.
I was about to leave, "Do you think Xenia will make it for the Festival?" Star asked me, she looked at me with uncertainty.
I sighed looking down at the ground, biting my lip I looked at her with saddened eyes, "I am not sure."
I walked toward the edge of the was a road to see Zee coming down the road with a green bike, I wanted to laugh. I covered my mouth to hide my smile. He slid on the bike making a mark on the road, he tossed a helmet that hung next to the bike. I could see him frustrated with this. "Get on," He commanded. I just shook my head as I slipped in the helmet and got onto the bike, he seems tense. He drove home while I was on his back.
