Revenge served in a black dress (Nora and Jace) novel Chapter 20

CH 20

She woke up and found herself inside the pack hospital, in a single room and looked about her. There was a machine blinking away next to the bed, and she could see it was monitoring her vitals. There was a bag of fluids hanging from an IV pole with another smaller bag of clear solution hanging from it. She tracked the line from the bag to her left arm, and it was attached to a canula at her inner elbow

Nora could feel pain all throughout her body, though in her hands and feet mostly, she sighed to herself, she was alone inthere and what else could she expect. He was probably in the packhouse consoling his Luna about the destruction of her suite. While the, his Mate, lay alone in the hospital because she was not his

concern.

Nora pushed herself up into a sitting position and looked down at herself to see just what damage had actually been done to her on her and Rosa’s rampage in that room. She had several scratches and grazes along the backside of both her hands and her knuckles were all torn up. There were steri strips on the lower part of her arms holding wounds together.

She turned her hands over and saw that her fingers were cut up a little, and there were two or three stitches at intervals along the inside of her knuckles. And there were some stitches on the palms of her hands as well, where she’d or Rosa had gotten glass in–bedded in her paws, and it had, had to be removed and was too deep to not be sutured because she didn’t have Rosa to heal her.

She lifted the sheet and could see many more steri strips on her legs and both her feet were actually bandaged. She’d walked on them uncaring of the broken glass imbedded in them, walked not only down the hall but down several flights of stairs. She’d likely made her injuries worse but hadn’t cared at the time at all.

Scars to her body would just show her later on what she’d been through, and make her stronger, to be able to move on, and remind her that she knew what she could handle. It would just make her stronger in mind and body. A few weeks of pain, a few months of heartache and feeling unloved was going to be nothing in the grand scheme of things. Her life was going to be very long.

She also knew that what she was going through. Although it was rough and hurt, she knew there were wolves out there that went through much more hellish things than a Mate that didn’t love them and was deceitful. Her own cousin had been taken by a bunch of rogues and brutalized for six days before being rescued, and she’d come back broken, beaten and had suffered much worse than what Nora was going through right now.

She would not let this break her. It was nothing compared to what her cousin had survived, or the damage. done to her cousin’s body. She would not complain, she’d seen worse, heard the terrified screams of others. that had survived a literal nightmare at the hands of rogues.

Her eyes turned to the room itself, the furniture in here was all varied in shades of deep pink and cream. There was a plush–looking couch and a round coffee table before it, with a small bowl of decorative egg–shaped ornaments. There was a matching armchair and some pictures of misty woods on the walls and an open door to what looked like an ensuite bathroom.

The door to the room stood open so anyone walking past could look in and check on her, she supposed, and she could hear pack members out there talking among themselves; the hospital staff she could only

presume.

The words on that open door grabbed her attention, they read ‘Luna Medical Suite” and a small red rose was

on either side of the words, Gloria’s favorite flowers. She closed her eyes and shook her head ever so slightly This was Gloria’s room and that woman had put her personal stamp on It.

Nora yanked the sheet completely off herself and got out of the bed, gritted her teeth against the pain in her feet, she was not the Luna, just a regular pack member, so she would not stay In this room, because she didn’t belong in there, she was nothing to that Alpha that ran this pack.

She moved her eyes to the window, and saw that it was dark outside, night had fallen, she’d spent all day asleep, it seemed. Her and Rosa’s rage had been uncontrollable and gone unchecked. No one had come to stop them, though she could only imagine with what they all saw, her utter determination to get in and destroy that room, they’d likely thought it wasn’t wise.

She’d clearly been completely exhausted by it, but staying in this room? That she was not going to do. If she needed medical attention, it could happen in a general ward like it would for all other pack members.

She unclipped herself from the canula and headed for the door, stepped out of the room and found several sets of eyes on her. A she–wolf in olive green scrubs came over to her and reached out to touch her. “You shouldn’t be on your feet yet, they’re badly injured.” She stated softly, 1 can go and get you anything you

need, Nora.”

“I want a different room,” she stated as she looked about “Any other room.”

“But you’re the Alpha’s Mate, so the…”

“No,” Nora sighed. “I don’t belong in there.” She stated flatly. “I’m not the Luna.” She muttered and found another she wolf at her side, as she hobbled quite a bit, and appeared to be having trouble walking. Both of them took an arm each and helped her to walk where she wanted to go. “What’s wrong with me?” she asked.

“You have badly injured feet, and shouldn’t be walking on them at all right at the moment. The Doc ordered bed rest for at least three days. Walking will likely break your stitches, and they’ll have to be redone…. Your

wolf isn’t healing you,” she was told with a bit of a sigh.

“I know,” was all she stated in return.

Those two nurses helped her to walk down the hall and put her in another bed. It was a four–bed ward, and

then they brought down the IV fluids and reconnected her to it. “What is in that?” she asked.

“Fluids and pre–emptive antibiotics. Dr. Carlos already charted them and pain relief as well. Do you want that, pain relief?”

“Sure, everything hurts.” She murmured with a nod as she lay there and closed her eyes once more. Everything did hurt, she either ached everywhere or actually had pain from her injuries. Her feet were quite painful at the moment too, so some pain relief would be good.

“I’m going to check your feet wounds, Nora.” She was told and just nodded.

She heard the nurse huff. “No more walking, you popped two stitches. I’ll call Carlos, and he’ll come and redo

them.”

“Can’t you just do it?” she murmured.

“No, sorry not my skill set. Staples I can do, but I’ve only been a nurse for about six months now. I won’t learn that until I’ve been here a year,” she was told.

“Alright.” Nora nodded.

I don’t think the Alpha is pring in be happy your left

to

don’t care at this moment in time, what he thinks to be honest with you, Nora muttered He was stich a good Mate that he wasn’t even at her bedelde when she’d woken up Mates fretted when their Mate was injured and unconscious Net here, because there was no love there. He was likely with Gloria.

Nork being here in the pack hospital would give him all the time in the world to spend with that she wolf and not have to worry about her seeing it. She felt a hand touch her and opened her eyes to see the other nurse there holding a glass of water and a pill cup it might make you drowsy”

“That is completely fine Nora nodded as a tall dark haired man walked in with a kidney dish in his hand. He frowned right at her

“hear you walked when told not to!” he murmured.

“I walked before I knew I wasn’t allowed to,” she corrected him. “There was no one in that room to tell me was to be on bedrest. So how was I supposed to know?” she asked right back.

“Fair enough,” he murmured. “This will only take a few minutes. I’ll clean, remove and restitch those stitches that broke. Now Nora, I don’t want you to get out of this bed until I tell you to from now on, alright.” He looked

right at her.

She just nodded. “I won’t leave this room regardless of who says I should, only listen to you, Carlos, was it?”

“It is he nodded and got to work
