*****Erika's POV*****
After hearing the words Melisse said, I think I passed out from exhaustion.
When I opened my eyes again, I saw Paula on the phone with Gage.
She turned to see that I was already awake and she smiled at me.
"I'll call you back, love." She said and ended the phone.
"You're awake?" She walked up to help me sit up.
"You gave us a fright, you know?" Paula began as she chuckled. I just stared at her like someone who lost their sanity.
"Erika, down to earth will you?" Paula shook me slightly and I think it worked because pains assaulted my head and I groaned. I ran a hand through my hair, blinking furiously to clear the headache I felt.
"Cindy what is this?" I asked my wolf, unable to bear the pains any longer.
"It's just a slight headache because you've been so stressed lately. Just relax and you'll be fine." She replied.
I looked up at Paula and asked, "How long have I been out?"
"For like 3 hours." She said and I gasped.
"Oh no! I have to go to the hospital! What about Jace's surgery?!"
"Relax Rika, the operation was successful and he is fine now, but still asleep. You've been stressed for too long and you need rest. So just rest today." She said and I sighed in relief.
Jace wouldn't die, that's all that matters. I looked around in search of Kat.
"Where's Katerina?" I asked and Paula relaxed beside me.
"She went back to the hospital, but she would soon be back." Paula said.
I nodded, climbing off the bed to use the bathroom.
Afterwards, I walked out of the bathroom to see some meals placed down on my bedside table.
"Come have something to eat, Gage informed me that Alex and him would be here soon."
I raised a brow at her as I settled in to eat something.
"Alex? Why is he coming here again?" I asked, a frown on my face.
I have no business with him since he refused my offer.
"Probably about the fight in his pack." Paula said.
I shook my head at that, "I already gave him options if he needs my help, but he turned it down, I see no reason for him to come here." I said sternly.
Paula gave a nod in understanding. "Yeah, unless he finally accepts the help." She added and I shrugged.
"Good for him then."
I ate the meal in silence and after a while, the door to the room was pushed open. Kat walked in and slumped down the couch.
"I'm super exhausted." She said as we glanced at her.
"How is Jace?" I asked immediately while she glanced in my direction.
"Ahh, thankfully you're awake, Jace is fine now."
I breathed a sigh of relief again having confirmed it from her.
"Rika, you're good?" Kat asked and I nodded.
"Yes, I was only stressed." I said to her and sighed.
