Chapter 28

I woke up for the second time and instantly knew Xavier wasn't in the bed or smothering me, I realised with a small smile.

I wanted my mate.

I wanted to feel safe and protected.

Just as I was about to attempt to sit up the door opened and Ginger walked in with a steaming mug in her hands. As soon as she noticed I was up she practically sprinted to my bedside, the tea or coffee I wasn't quite sure, almost spilling everywhere in her haste to get to me.

She set her mug down onto the table besides my bed and knelt down besides the bed.

"Oh Tori!" She said and burst into tears. I could feel my eyes start to well up as well.

"Don't cry Ginger." I said trying desperately to not cry myself. I cried enough in Xavier's arms.

She wiped at her face and took my hands in hers.

"Sorry, I-I just missed you so much and I was so scared you weren't going to make it! You've been in a coma for two weeks! I've been goin-"

"Wait, what? Two weeks?" I almost shouted.
