Chapter 17

I woke up to the sound of people talking. My eyes fluttered open and I found my self in a white room. I looked in the direction of the voices and I saw a nurse and a doctor talking.

"Um, where am I?" I asked in a raspy voice. They both looked at me and the doctor smiled. "Oh, good. You're up." He said while walking over to me with a clipboard in his hand.

"Miriam, get her a glass of water and tell Mr. Parker that Ms. Johnson is awake." He order the nurse. He looked back at me and started looking at his clipboard.

"Ms. Johnson, do you know why you're here?" He asked. I shook my head. "Well, yesterday you fainted at the school's cafeteria. Mr. Parker informed me that you weren't feeling well. You had a headache yesterday is that correct?"

It was then I realized I was in a hospital. I wasn't connected to any machines which brought relief to me. I was just on the bed and in the same clothes. The nurse came and brought me some water which I gulped down in a second.

"Yes." I said. I would be lying if I didn't say that I was scared. I didn't know if something was wrong with me or if I had to stay here for observation. The doctor started to check my pulse, check if I had a fever and scribbled all of it down in the clipboard.

"Well Ms. Johnson, it's nothing to be afraid. The headache was just a minor symptom of wanting heat." He said.

Heat?

What the hell is heat?

"What about all the pain that I felt throughout my body?" I asked.

"That's also a minor symptom of wanting heat." He says.

"I'm sorry, what exactly is heat?" I asked, he looked at me as if I was the most dumbest person on the world.

He stayed like that for a moment before responding me. "Heat, well, how can I explain this?" He said as he tapped his chin with his finger.

"Heat is he final step of claiming. The first step is finding your mate. The second is when he marks you, which is when he pulls out his wolf teeth and bites your neck. And the final step is when you and your mate, well, mate." He says a bit uncomfortable.

It's then I realize me and Adam haven't actually done it. And apparently the only way for me to not feel this horrible pain is if me and Adam mate.

Well this is going to be an awkward conversation.

"Do you wish to for me talk about this with Mr. Parker?" The doctor asked me but before I could answer him the door slammed open and three sets of eyes were looking at me with worried faces.

"Jesus, Riley, are you ok?" Ryan asked as he rushed over to me. "What happened to you?" Emma asked while rushing over to me too.

"How is she?" Adam asked the doctor. For a brief second he looked at me and back at Adam. "She's fine, make sure she gets some rest and she'll be good as new." The doctor said before walking out.

"I'm so glad you're ok." Adam said as he gave me a kiss on the forehead. Emma stood on one side of the bed while Adam and Ryan stood on the other side.

"What did the doctor say?" Asked Emma as she sat down beside me. "He said that I just needed some rest and that I would feel better." Of course, Adam didn't believe me, I glance at him and he was giving me a strange look while crossing his arms. Emma and Ryann believed it which was what I was going for.

I couldn't explain it to them because it would have been awkward. Yes, they are like family to me but talking to them about how me and Adam have to mate it's like a child asking her mom where do babies come from. Awkward.

The nurse came inside with a wheelchair and walked over to me. "The doctor says you're all good to go. You should be able to go to school tomorrow." She said and gave me a warm smile.

Ryan helped me up even though I could stand on my own. We reached the hospital doors and Adam went to get the car. "Call us if you need anything, ok?" Emma said. I gave them a nod and we said our goodbyes.

Once Adam brought the car he helped me up and the nurse left with the wheelchair. He helped me up in the car and put on my seat belt.

In that moment his perfume filled my nose and I flew to Cloud 9. Have I mentioned that he smells really good? Well, he does. He closed my door and went over to the drivers seat and off we go to the pack house.

An uncomfortable silence filled the car. My fingers were fidgeting as I found them so interesting to look at. Adam cleared his throat and broke the silence.

"What exactly did the doctor say?" Adam said in an uneasy voice. I sighed and look up at the road.

This was going to be a long ride.

"I don't really want to talk about it." I said in a low voice. Adam look at me for a second with a shocked expression on his face.

"Are you being serious right now?" He says raising his voice just a little bit. "Do you expect me to just let you be in pain and not do anything about it?" He said.

Before I could answer he cut me off. "What if it happens again? What if it's something serious and you just decided not to tell me?" He said.

I looked at him with an are-you-serious-right-now look. "God, Adam, it's not like I'm dying." I say in the same tone as him and turned around in my seat so I could look at him.

"Then why won't you tell me?" Adam asked raising his voice a bit more. "Because I don't feel comfortable talking about it!" I screamed and I soon as I did I regretted it.

I closed my eyes, took a deep breathe and slouched down back in my seat. "Fine, but don't come crying to me when the pain gets worse." Adam said in a stern voice.

I felt a stab in my heart as he said those words.

Jesus, Riley. He's your freaking mate and you're not even gonna tell him? Wow, worst mate ever.

The rest of the ride was in silence. After 30 minutes we reached the pack house and it was already dark. Adam parked the car and turned off the engine. I was opening the door when he slammed his shut.

I jump a little bit since it took a me bit off guard. I've never seen this side of Adam and it wasn't pretty. Tears were starting to form in my eyes but I blinked them away.

Adam opened the door and rushed inside. "Hey guys what's-." "Nobody cares, Tyler." Adam said as he passed Tyler by.

"What's up with him?" Tyler asked me. "We got in a fight." I told him. "Why don't you tell Tyler?! Maybe then you would feel comfortable enough tell me!" Adam screamed as he came back for a minute.

"Good luck with that." Tyler said as he gave me an apologetic look. I rolled my eyes at Adam and walked behind him.

"Jesus, Adam! Can you calm down for a freaking minute?! You're blowing this way out of proportion!" I screamed at him as we walked down the halls towards our room. "Oh, I'm sorry! I'm just trying to be a good mate, that's all!" He screamed as he opened the door and once I'm inside I slam it shut.

"It's not that I'm never going to tell you! I just don't think that now is the right time!" My throat is starting to hurt from all this screaming and I'm pretty sure that everyone in this house can hear us right now.

"Great! So I'm just suppose to wait until you can tell me?!" He turns around and walks over to me. "That would be fantastic!" I say and take a step closer to him. "Why is it so important for you to know?! Why can't you just wait until I figure out how to talk to you about it?!" I scream.

"Because it drives me crazy knowing that you're in pain and that there's nothing I can do about it! It hurts me to watch you suffer!" He took one final step close to me. Once he was finished I slammed my lips into his and kissed with such passion that I didn't even know it was possible.

He broke the kiss and was gonna say something but I cut him off. "Can you just shut the hell up?" I said and once again kiss him with such force.

He pushed me up against the wall and put his hands on my waist, pulling me closer to him. I pull his shirt up and for a brief second we break the kiss. Once his shirt is off our lips meet once again and I throw the shirt across the room.

Adam sets my body on fire as he traces my body with his fingers. He finds the hem of my shirt and pulls it over my head. He lifts me up and I wrap my legs around his waist.

As he puts me down on the bed my back meets the softness of the sheets and he lays on top of me. I wrap my arms around his neck and our kisses become more slow. Adam breaks the kiss and he starts kissing my neck.

He finds my sweet spot and starts leaving hickeys. I throw my head back to give him more access while my hands are in his hair. I tug slightly into his hair and he lets out a low moan.

His hands roam around my body until he finds the waist of my jeans, he stops kissing me and unbuttons my jeans. He throws them across the room while I'm left in my underwear.

And then,

He claimed me his.
