CH 32
She was halfway back to the pack when she felt pain roll through her obdornen and grimaced at it. She lifted her shirt and looked at her abdomen, and there was bruising there. It was all deep purple, and Rose was struggling to heal her. She had not really been with her for months now and was weakened by the state of
their mate bond.
It was 15 minutes later that she smelled her own blood and looked down at herself. She couldn’t see anything, but she was definitely bleeding. That couldn’t be good. She felt Rosa whine in pain and fall away into the darkness of her mind, unable to deal with whatever was going on with them.
She couldn’t even ask her what the hell was wrong with her, though she’d had a headache all morning, and knew it was from the combination of hitting her head last night, and then hitting the hood of that car and
then the ground that morning as well, two head injuries in less than 12 hours.
She’d had a mild concussion last night, something the paramedics had asked her about. One of them had touched the wound from her head hitting the floor and asked her about that bruising. She’d told them the truth. It happened last night. She’d had a mild concussion from it.
The paramedic had sighed and told her she was likely to have another right now, but her blood pressure had been fine, and nothing was broken as far as they could tell. She wasn’t in a great deal of pain anywhere that wasn’t scraped. Nora had assured them she’d go straight home, and to a hospital if she started to feel worse.
She was now feeling a lot worse. Only it wasn’t her head that was hurting her, it was her abdomen, where she’d folded over the bonnet of the car she’d unwittingly walked in front of. She kept a feeler out for the pack. As she drove and clutched at her lower abdomen, she was trying to feel specifically for the pack doctor. She knew that she was in real trouble because of Rosa’s reaction. She had to stop for a red light and took the moment to lift her skirt and see just how bad it was. There was blood starting to pool on her seat, it was coming from inside of her.
She wasn’t even going to be able to put pressure on the wound, it was internal. She drove as best she could, while Rosa whined and tried to keep them alive, but by the time she could feel any connection to the pack, she was struggling to hold onto consciousness, and she knew she was kind of all over the road.
She finally felt it and connected herself to Carlos. ‘Help me, she gasped, “Bleeding out.” She managed to get out, as she gripped her abdomen and hissed in pain. She didn’t have time to slow down for the gates to open
all the way.
Her
er car scraped along it as she drove through it, uncaring of the damage. “Where are you?‘ Carlos asked.
‘Coming in the gate… five minutes at most. If I don’t pass out.’ She told him.
‘Stay awake at all costs.” He yelled at her and the link was gone.
She couldn’t judge the parking lot. Her sight was failing her because unconsciousness was trying to claim her. She was weakened from the loss of blood, so she just hit the brakes as hard as she could, her eyes on the front doors of the pack hospital.
She saw Carlos as he rushed out of the hospital doors. She never took her eyes off him, tried to stay focused on the man that was hopefully going to save her life. She managed to get out of the car as darkness filled her vision, she felt all that warm sticky blood pooled in her lap, flooding down her legs as she got out, and then

She couldn’t and wouldn’t forgive him. She’d been hurt by him too much for too long. She turned her face away from him when he stood up and looked down at her
