~Amorelli~

I woke up in a different hospital room. However, this one looked the same as all of the others. White and smelled like cleaning chemicals. I rubbed my eyes and tried to stretch but stopped and groaned in pain due to the stitches all over my stomach. I lifted my gown to make sure I didn't tear any out. They were all in so I put it down and looked to my left and saw a body in a chair. I noticed it was Mordikai and I scoffed. I pressed the call nurse button and not too long after my nurse came in.

"Good morning Luna, sleep well?" She asked nicely and made a movement to check my stitches.

"Yes. Why is he in here? I said I wanted to be away from him." I stated flatly and she sighed quietly.

"Your stitches are fine. I'm assuming you already figured out the stretching problem, so be careful. Especially when you walk. You're going to have a brace for a while and we are going to keep you here for a few more nights to make sure you heal up nicely. And Alpha is in here because you were unconscious and you only wanted to be away from him for that period of time. Especially because we had to perform that emergency surgery that went very well. His mother came to visit you as well. And while you were asleep, Mordikai removed a woman from the pack because she was pretty much asking if you didn't wake up, which she could have made sure that didn't happen, if they could have some 'fun'. He said no, she called you a disgrace, he removed her from the pack and made her a rouge, and now she is in the dungeons awaiting her death because she discretely threatened the future Luna of the pack." She finished and my eyes were wide. Was a nurse threatening to kill me? Why? I haven't done anything wrong. I rubbed my face and looked to the other side of my bed. I gasped when I saw Lilies, Orchids, and Roses.

"Who brought these in?" I motioned for her to grab the card and give it to me. I looked at the card and saw a beautiful cursive handwriting.

'I had a little help with what flowers you like. I don't have much room on the card, but we need to talk everything through. ~Mordiaki'

I looked at him as he slept. He looked calm for once, instead of the angry monster I know him to be. Maybe I was too irrational about this. I shouldn't have slapped him that morning. He is right, we do need to talk everything through. I slightly nudged his shoulder and he groaned, trying to move to get comfortable in the chair, but smiling slightly because of the tingles that occurred. I nudged him again and he groaned once more but then shot up as if something terrible has happened.

"What's wrong? Is Amorelli okay?" He looked around the room, only to find me in it. Putting two and two together, he realized it was me who woke him up.

"I'm sorry... I didn't mean to hurt you... I didn't know what I did, and you were out for five days and I was afraid my mark was going to make me lose you. I only marked you so that my father couldn't force me to mark another woman. Once an alpha marks his mate that's that, unless she rejects him and I really don't want you to reject me. I know I can be better than what I've been. Please don't leave me moy angel, moya printsessa." He took my hand and kissed it several times. I felt some water on my hand and realized that Mordikai was crying.

I made the Alpha cry.

Oh god.

"Mordikai?" He looked up, more tears streaming down his face.

"Yes?" He looked hopeful.

"I'm sorry for hitting you. I shouldn't have done that. I was in a state of shock and I didn't know what happened until I remembered that you marked me by force and without my permission." I stated and he nodded softly and laid his head on my hand and proceeded to kiss it gently.

"How are you feeling?" He asked quietly.

"Sore and in pain but I'll be fine. What about you?"

"Shit."

"Why?"

"I hurt the person I love. The person I'm supposed to cherish and care for. I broke you. Literally. I can't live with myself knowing I hurt you." His body started to shake. My mate was crying. I took my other hand and ran my fingers through his hair until he calmed down.

"When can you come back to me at the palace?" His body continued to shake, but now it was becoming violent with his hard cries.

"Soon darling..." I tried to soothe him with comforting words and rubbing his back. He looked up and held my face gently.

"May I kiss you, Amorelli?" I couldn't speak. He asked if he could do something, politely.

"Yes, you may." His eyes lit up and he sat up in his chair and I wiped his face gently. He smiled and kissed my hand, the entire time I felt the tingles.

*If you want to read this part, you can find it in the Private Chapters book I have. This is just so people don't get too uncomfortable.*

He sighed and laid his head on my shoulder. Our breathing was heavy. We were both panting and covered in a light sweat. He kissed the top of my head and I sighed in content.

"That was... Amazing..." I barely got out.

"Yeah... It was..." he wiped off my stomach with tissues nearby and he wiped off his hand. He then pulled me closer to him and we just laid there in silence.

"Amorelli?"

"Yes, Kai?"

"I'm so sorry that I marked you without your permission. But I promise you, I will do everything in my power to make it up to you. Whether it's serving your every need or leaving you alone. Whatever you want and I'll do it. I'll treat you to the best wonders of the world. I'll-" he paused. I looked up in question.

"What?" He sighed and looked sad.

"I'll take you home if that's what you most desire..." his eyes fogged over with tears. I pulled him closer and wiped them away.

"Right now, I want to lie here with you." He nodded and held me close as if someone was gonna take me away from him. I sighed in content and laid my head on his chest.

"Mordikai?" He made a sound in response.

"Don't you have to unlock the door and all?" I questioned and he groaned. He fixed himself up first and pulled the blankets over me before he pressed the button. Slowly, everything went back to normal. We laid down with me in his arms, gently holding me. I grew tired and yawned quietly.

"Goodnight, Mon Amour." (French for my love.)

In confusion, I gazed at the clock. It was already seven pm. How did that happen? I laid my head back down and mumbled a good night before I fell into a deep sleep.
