Siena's POV
So the nurses name was Bella and she left me with this tall, intimidating young man that's asking me questions one after another and now wishes to speak privately with me.
I tense up as he leans further forward, his eyes looking at me for answers and figuring out who I am. Kinda cute with his dark brown hair falling in front of his forehead making his skin look paler than it actually is.
"So why did another rogue attack you? Done anything you shouldn't of? Both from the same pack?" He asks curiously,
"I don't know, I was just doing what I normally do, I don't even speak to any rogues or any of this packs members..." I slowly start to lose my voice and he cautiously rises from his seat, I watch his every move as he returns from the other side of the room with another cup of water, gently moving his chair closer and holding the drink out to me.
"Here, I don't bite unless provoked..." he says with a cheesy grin, I lift up my hand to grab the cup and as I grasp the cup my thumb brushes past his and I try to hold back a fast movement away from him.
"Whoa, easy there doll!" He says softly while gently holding my wrist letting me get a hold of the cup without dropping it. My face feels hot as the blood rises to my cheeks to form a blush, I pull the cup to my chest before speaking,
"I'm sorry, I've never broken a bone in my body, only ever bruises and cuts..." I trail off to take a sip noticing the strain in my voice.
"Well first time for everything and you made a record, you had three broken ribs, both wrists broken, one leg and one ankle broken as well as a few small fractures here and there along side the huge bruise on your neck. Very lucky your neck wasn't broken to be completely honest with you..." he says with pain as he stops himself from what I assume to be getting furious.
I realise my mouth had dropped open in shock at how many bones had been broken and then I drop my cup as a seering pain shoots through my ribs. I scream out in pain like a banshee while my ribs start to heal dramatically faster, my ears ringing and my body out of my control. All I know is that I want out of my human form but can do nothing about it.
I feel a hand on each wrist as the ringing in my ears stops and the pain simmers down to a dull ache, my lungs burning and throat feeling swollen. Dear God I wish there were warning signs for this kind of stuff!

"You okay?" I hear both Bella the nurse and the man ask almost at the same time, I nod slowly and feel tears streaming down my face.
"Can I sleep?" I ask almost choking on my words as my mouth and throat drys up. They look at each other and silently agree as Bella nods and speaks as they both release their grip on my wrists.
"Miles will be by your side if you wake up and need anything, he will call me if anything is needed medical wise" she smiles and leaves quietly. I look at the man known as Miles and nod at him and he returns the movement with a pained smile on his face.
I slowly let myself fall asleep to the sound of his steady breathing and rhythmic heart beat.
-
I open my eyes slowly and look over to Miles, he is fast asleep on the chair he was sat in before I went to sleep, he looks peaceful and I leave him to sleep as I stretch my limbs a little. Most of my aches and pains are now nothing but a dull feeling of uncomfortable pins and needles.
I sit myself up slowly and find a cup of water on the bedside table, I hesitate before grabbing it gently and then taking sips every now and then, looking around more of the room.
A window to my left with the small table, a few medical devices and another chair sat empty. In front of me is a small kitchen like area, with a sink, a few cupboards and a side to prepare medicines or drinks. To my right a door and Miles in the other chair still sleeping. I place my drink down carefully and quietly.
I catch myself taking in all the details of him, his dark brown hair, chiseled face, slightly tanned skin, muscular build barely fitting in the small chair. I chuckle to myself thinking about it and accidentally wake him up in doing so. I instantly cover my mouth with my hand.
"What has you giggling like a school girl missy?" He asks with a curious voice and a confused face.
"Want a bigger seat?" I ask hiding behind my hair holding my blush back with my hand still over my mouth.
"Oh I see." He says letting out a small laugh himself. I look at him and he stands up to stretch towering over me like a bear would a rabbit. He moves towards the bed, and gestures towards the bed.
I nod and he sits on the bed at my feet, I curl my legs towards myself and give him more room to sit comfortably.
"So you're Miles?" I ask like a shy school girl. He nods and smiles before looking directly into my eyes searching mine for something unknown to me. His light grey and blue eyes burn into mine, the blue and grey swirling around and losing me in a sea of thought.
"And you are...?" He asks snapping me out of my daze and back to reality.
"Siena but you probably already knew that right?" I say with a hint of fear in my voice.
"No actually, Bella refused to give out her patient's information and I respected her wishes." He says slightly annoyed. I guess people tend to mistrust him a lot but I'm glad he waited for me to give him personal information.
"Thank you..." I say quietly and bring the blanket over myself and hold on to it as if it will keep me safe. He looks at me with a raised eyebrow and studies my body language before asking his next question.
