Tattooed Luna

Chapter 0578 As soon as my hand touched her cheek, her head relaxed into me. I watched as her eyes closed and her emotions were starting to level out but the anger was still there. It took some time but eventually she was able to open her eyes again and they were back to normal.

«What are we going to do about this?” She asked. The restraint in her voice was clear.

“you are on a 24 hour no weight so | am going to take you home and we are going to relax under a guard. Then, Colt’s family and our are going to Jace’s pack. You can heal with their help and Colt and I are going to go see what Gunther is up to.”

“How convenient that I am stuck home with a bullet wound when we decide to go to Jace’s pack for undercover work:” Kristen pushed my hand away and folded her arms. If Adalynn pouted this way, I would die laughing.

“Nothing is convenient about your pissy ass when you are bed ridden.” Kristen looked both shocked and disgusted at me. “I ley!” “He isn’t wrong.” Colt added.

«The fuck? Why are you here if you aren’t going to be on my side?” «Who's idea do you thinkit was?” Colt raised an eyebrow at her.

«1 hate you both.” The sheer stubbornness of this woman surprised me, even after all this time together.

Colt ruffled up her hair. “We love you!” Kristen slapped away his hand as a nurse walked in. “I see you are awake.

How are you feeling?” «Had better days. Can I go home?” “you need to stay the rest of the night but I'll get papers to you guys first thing in the morning.” The nurse hung up another bag of fluids. “Do you want any pain meds?” “1f I'm going to be stuck here than I do.” Kristen rested her head back on the bed and looked up at the ceiling.

“Figured. I have them here.” After shooting in some white medicine, the nurse looked at Kristen's leg. The

wound looked rough but it didn’t appear to have any infection. “This is for you.” I felt a nudge and looked over. She had a zip lock bag in her hands and was pushing it on me. I was so confused until I looked at the bag and ithad a bullet in it. “Um..” «We wrote it down as ice sickle stick so no police were called. Figured you would want it and so did the doctor.” «pamn. Thank you.” I did want it but it hadn’t even occurred to me to ask for it.

«Of course.” She nodded before walking to the door. “Let me know if you need anything. The call light is tied to the rails.” She smiled at Kristen before walking out.

“How are you feeling?” Colt asked.

“Better now.” Kristen's eyes were starting to flutter.

Colt chuckled as he leaned down and kissed her forehead. “I’m going home.

Let me know when you leave.” “gShhure.” Kristen slurred before she completely passed out.

“Keep me updated.” Colt waved as he walked to the door.

“Here. You take it and get it tested. I won't be able to as quickly as you can. Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

Get to Gunther before he takes off.” Colt took the bullet from me and nodded.

“Oh, Gunther will be very much aware of what happened.” Colt said as he was half way out of the door.

As soon as Alec was gone, I just went over and laid down on the rock solid couch. Nothing about this was comfortable but I wasn’t about to leave this room.

I had just gotten to sleep when the door opened. The nurse tried to be quiet but she came in with a pillow and blanket for me. After checking Kristen’s vitals, she left quietly.

Since I didn’t need the blanket, I used it to put some separation between me and whatever was poking me in the back. Once again, I was just about asleep when I heard Kristen call out.

“Alec!” My body instantly woke up as if there was a threat around us. As quietly as could, I walked up to her. Kristen was

tossing her head around as if she was having a bad dream.

“Shhh.” Being as gentle as I could, I laid on the edge of the bed. Kristen curled into me, resting her head on my chest. I don’t care where we are at, whenever she does that, my heart melts. “Sleep. I got you.” I whispered to her. It didn’t take long for my arm to go to sleep and for me to follow right after.

Kristen's fingers were tracing my face, making my beard itch. “Why must you always do that to wake me up?” “you like it.” The door to the room opened up and the nurse stuck her head in. “Good morning! I got papers. How are you feeling?”

It took me a second to get off the bed with only one arm. The other was so dead that I couldn’t even lift it up. My shoulder didn’t want to work as I moved to the side so the nurse could look at Kristen.

“Ready to be in my own bed.” «1 bet.” The nurse handed Kristen the papers before she lifted the bed sheets and looked at her thigh. “This looks pretty good.” Laying the sheets back down, she took the papers from Kristen and laid them on the table.

“Here is some scrubs you can wear since you came in naked and a wheel chair for you.” “Thank you.” “Would you like to bring your car around and we can meet you out front?” 1 wasn’t looking at the nurse

but I did after that question. I wasn’t sure why but it irked me she even asked that. = My eyes glanced at Kristen. She nodded, giving me the okay. “Sure.” Before I walked out of the room, I opened the mind-link up. “Don’t close this.”
