As I wake I look down to see Novas head tucked into my side with a small smile resting on her lips. Thinking of last night I smirk to myself. “I think you distracted her pretty well don’t you” Zeus comments cheekily.
“Hmm she needed to forget for a while, plus we aren’t getting to enjoy our new mateship so much with everything going on” I shrug inwardly.
“It might be bothering her but she won’t let it become too much, she’s so strong. Some of this could have broken a person” Zeus points out proud of his mate.
“Oh I know, I’m a lucky man” I comment with a smile as flashes of her pleasure ridden face from last night come to mind.
“Hmmm” I hear Nova moan slightly as she stretches away from me blinking blearily as she wakes up slowly.
“Morning beautiful” I murmur as she turns her bright eyes to mine.
“Morning” she smiles sitting up. “Mmm the bath last night was definitely a good idea. Did you put me to bed?”
Chuckling I nodded, “yeah you were flat out in the bath. I ended up rinsing you off and getting you into bed.”
Lifting a brow she lifts the sheets as she looks down with a giggle, “no surprise you chose for us to sleep naked.”
Blushing slightly I shrug, “it was easier..and i prefer feeling you naked against me.”
She looks at me before bursting out laughing, “aw is my big bad Alpha blushing over our lack of clothes” she teases making me lift my shoulders and shake my head.
“Noooo” I deny looking away.
“Didn’t see you blushing last night” she teases with a satisfied look in her eyes.
Grinning I just get up and slip into the bathroom to freshen up before switching with Nova. 20 minutes later we’re ready to go and I tentatively have a feel of her emotions through the bond where I’m relieved to feel only determination and a bit of anger.
“Ready?” I check as she throws a jacket over her long tight dress.
“Ready” she assures me before opening the door and leading the way. Watching her ass sway has memories flashing through my mind and I immediately speed up to walk alongside her, seeing my slightly flushed cheeks again she quirks a brow questioningly.
“Your ass does things to me, I don’t want to be distracted” I laugh as she chuckles.
We quickly make our way to the hospital and up to where Laurence is waiting for us. “Coffee for you both” he says holding two cups out.
“I knew I liked you for a reason” Nova teases making Laurence chuckle as I let out a small growl.
“It’s coffee Jax, I like that he knows I like coffee” she deadpans to me making me blush again before her and Laurence burst out laughing.
“Oh ha ha ha” I say rolling my eyes.
“She doesn’t seem as worried as I thought she might boss” Laurence links me as we look through the window watching the nurses prepare themselves.
Smirking to myself I link him back knowingly, “I helped relax her, amazing what a good nights sleep can do for you.”
“Ohhh” he says with wide eyes at me over Novas head, “well it worked” he adds on with a chuckle hidden behind a well timed cough.
“Good morning Alpha, Luna, Beta” the doctor says as he bows to us in greeting.
“Morning Doc, you ready?” Laurence checks as Nova and I both utter our greetings.
“Yes we are, I thought I’d quickly just explain what we are going to do. As mentioned she won’t be ready to talk or engage until Friday at the earliest if I’m happy with how she is progressing” he explains as I growl at his words.
“I’m sorry Alpha this isn’t a process I can speed up, she has been in a coma for over a year and a half now. She will be very disoriented” he explains.
“No it’s not that. I know she needs time but she’s also a prisoner” I point out.
“She will be of more use if I can get her recovery going smoothly” he assures me. Nodding as I motion for him to continue he says “we are going to try and wake her by stimulating the main senses. It may seem overwhelming for her at first but it’s been effective in our trials of similar cases. We will also send a small electronic current through her, awakening her body and senses as such.”
“Is this practised amongst humans?” Nova asks interested.
