Mated to the Wolf King

Chapter 22

- Katharina Point of view -

I woke up in feeling that someone's holding my hand. By the sparkles coming from it, I know that it's Zeus. I slowly open my eyes and scan the room. The wall was painted in white. I'm in a hospital. I look at my mate who is peacefully sleeping beside me. He has black under his eyes and he look so pale. I slowly pull my hand off his grip but he suddenly wake-up.

"Kath?" He sounds relief in seeing me.

"C-Can I have water please.” I said with a sore throat. He gave me water and help me to bring it to my mouth.

"How's your feeling? Do you feel something? Are you hurt?" He asked looking so worried yet so damn handsome.

I touch his face and slowly pull him in a hug. I'm happy seeing him like this. He cares about me. Something inside me want to be taking care of, the feeling of someone caring for you is the best feeling ever.

"Why Kath? Is there any problem? Do you want me to call the healer to check you?" He said hugging me back and kissing my forehead.

"I'm fine, let's just stay like this for a while." I said.

"Thank you.” He said.

"For what?"

"For saving me back there, but next time, try not to kill yourself." He said half laughing.

"But I'm still alive.” But I feel something changed "but it's strange, I feel something different in my body."

"Maybe that's because I give you some of my blood." He said.

"What? You give me your blood?"

"Yes, the healer asks for it for your fast recovery.” He proudly says.

I think he likes it that He give something for me. Thanks to that blood I feel strong and healed right now.

"Kath?"

Zeus pull away and I saw my Dad and brother standing near the door.

"Dad? Sam? What are you two doing here?"

Dad run to me and cage me with his arms.

"Zeus told me about what happened here. How are you? Are you feeling better now?" Dad.

"I'm okay now Dad, who's looking after the pack if you and Sam are here?" I said looking to the both of them.

"Don't worry about it I let Mark take charge for a while. We'll be back today.” He said.

I look at my brother and he smile at me.

"Wait how long I am here?"

"You are out for two days, don't worry your birthday will be in two days from now. Just rest.” My brother.

"That's cool, I'm going to see my friends and I will meet your Mate.” I said smiling to him.

"Yes, little kitten." Brother said.

We keep talking and exchanging information about the palace and my former pack. My Dad decided to discuss about the attack and why is there a building union of rogues. They come to a decision that my Dad will also help for the investigation.

After lunch, they say goodbye and return home. I'm going to see them soon and I'm excited to celebrate my birthday with my mate. I want him to meet my best-friends.

"You look happy." Zeus.

He doesn't leave my side all day and he keep checking and asking me what I needed.

"I'm just excited with my birthday and I want you to meet my friends.” I said.

He sits in my side at the end of the bed. He looks tired.

"Zeus, I think you need to rest. I will be release tomorrow morning. You can come back here tomorrow." I said to him.

"I'm fine." He said

"No, you're not. Please go get some rest." I said.

"Can I just sleep here with you. The bed can accommodate us.” He said smiling.

I never expect that he will ask that to me. Sharing bed seems a good idea since I'm craving for his body.

"Okay, come here.” I move a little for him to lay beside me. I fix myself and lay beside him. We are facing each other, he keeps staring at me. I put my pointer finger to his eyes. "Sleep Zeus." I said and he closed his eyes.

Maybe I am lucky having him as my mate. This one is a Greek god face and body but I know, deep inside he is kind although heartless and soulless sometimes, I know he cares for me.

I fell asleep next to him.

I wake up in the morning feeling lonely without the heat of Zeus body. Since now I know that he is my mate, my body is responding to the pull of our bond together. I look in my table and there is a note, above of the note is a white rose.

Kath,

I'll be back before lunch, see you later. Don't move so much and just rest while I'm gone.

Zeus.

A simple note that brings joy to my heart. "What a great morning. I said to myself.

I fix myself, thank God that my room has its own bathroom. I clean myself and brush my teeth. I want to look good when he come back. I don't want his to think that I'm a baby who need so much help from others.

As he promised, he comeback before lunch. He brought me foods and we ate together and then we go home.

The Queen greeted my but Zeus told her that I need to rest first. We can talk some other time. "Where do you want to rest, your room or our room?" He asks. I look at him and smile.

"I miss my bed." He became look sad at my answer. "But I want to sleep in our room.” I said smirking to him.

He opens his door and his scent fills me.

"Go and get some sleep. Tomorrow we will be heading to your father." He kisses me in the forehead and we sleep together again.

I'm excited for tomorrow.
