Chapter 150
Suddenly she jerked in her sleep, her arms going to her sides as she started thrashing on the bed, crying and screaming, the way she moved and thrashed you’d think she was tied to the bed. I stared in shock before I finally snapped out of it and started trying to wake her up.
She gasped and her eyes snapped open as she stopped struggling. She just stared at me while I moved away from her as to not to scare her, her eyes kept following me. Those Big brown eyes filled with pain and hesitance. It was killing me.
“I brought you some food” I offered as I grabbed the tray and held it in front of me. She eyed the food warily, as if expecting it to to jump up and kill her. “you need to eat or you won’t get better.”
she turned her gaze to me and stared at me silently I sighed and tried again “Sweetheart, I’m not going to hurt you. No one will I promise” I put the tray in her lap “try it, it’ll make you feel better” she looked at the tray then back at me. She grabbed the spoon, dipped it in the soup and offered the spoon to me
I didn’t understand at first but then it hit me that she was making sure the soup didn’t have anything. I took the spoon and ate its contents. “see? Nothing but healthy soup” I gave the spoon back to her and she hesitantly dipped it in the soup again and brought it up to her lips. Her thin arms shaking with the effort making my fists clench.
She looked at me and put the spoon in her mouth, her eyes closing as she swallowed and immediately refilled the spoon and brought it to her mouth again
“Slow down there, sweetheart. If you eat it fast it won’t stay in your stomach, slowly.”She didn’t offer any response or sign that she heard me but she slowed down her intake.
“So” I said while she ate “My name is Jacob, you already know that” I tried to make my voice gentle as to not to scare her “I’m twenty-one and you?”
she was silent for a while before speaking in a low voice, that I wouldn’t have heard if not for my sensitive hearing “eighteen”
I smiled at her “not much younger than me then” she shrugged “I brought you some clothes, they’re in the bathroom with fresh towels so if you want to shower.
she looked at me in a cute confused expression but didn’t say anything. It wasn’t long before she put down her spoon. She tried to lift her tray but her hands shook with the effort nd she could hardly raise it. Again I found myself trying to control myself. I stood up and took the tray from her, looking down to see her bowl of soup was still nearly full. I sighed, Miranda had told me she wouldnt be able to eat much.
I tried not to smile as i was leaving as I saw her trying to discreetly see if she smelled, from the small noise she made, i suppose she didn’t like what she found.
I went down to and put the tray on the sink when Adrian clapped me on the back to get my attention “how’s she doing?”
“still too weak and sick but at least she’s awake. Spoke a few words but that’s it” I said with a sigh, I was worried about her. I couldn’t imagine what the hunters had done to her, how they treated her. No wonder she was so skittish and afraid.
“I liked that plate” I heard a familiar voice from the doorway, I looked down and saw the plate that was in my hands had broken “calm down Jacob” Lily said as she walked into the kitchen, grabbed some orange juice fom the refrigerator and turned to look at me “Just focus on helping her nw, getting mad won’t do you or her any good”
“news about the hunters?” I said as I washed the blood off my hands, my wounds already healing.
“Ethan and I are working on it, we’ll find their hide-out soon enough. We’ve contacted allies in case of a war and they’ve agreed to help. But before we make any move we’ll have to wait till your mate gets better and feels comfortable enough to give us information about the kinds of weapons they have.
I nodded and walked out of the kitchen to go check on my mate, when I reached the door I knocked and got in when I ddn’t get an answer. I found my mate holding on to the wall trying to go to the bathroom.
I immediately went to help her, but she jumped away when I touched her. “l’m just trying to help, you’re still too weak to just walk on your own” Ná´‡w É´ovel chaptá´‡rs are published on.net
she stared at me for a long time before she nodded slowly and I led her to the bathroom. “ok so here you go, I’m going to be right outside if you need me okay?”
I turned to leave but she took my wrist in her hand making me turn back. She was looking at the ground, a blush on her cheeks “I dont know how” she murmured quietly and I frowned
“how did you shower before?” she remained silent so I chose not to make her even more uncomfortable. “hey, it’s okay I’ll show you”
I led her to the shower and started telling her about the cold and hot water taps, making her choose when the water wasjust right and left her in the bathroom when she told me she understood.
