A Mistake Mate novel Chapter 55

A quiet groan came from next to my ear and when I realized that it belonged to Xander I quickly pulled away and took a step back. Xander's face was twisted up in pain and I felt my heart throb when I realized that I had caused it.

"I'm so sorry! I just wasn't thinking! I've been so worried about you and when I realized that you were awake I got a little bit excited! I'm sorry! I didn't mean to-" My rather obnoxious and embarrassing rambling was cut off by a low chuckle that made my heart flutter.

All previous pain had disappeared from Xander's face and he was now looking at me with amusement.

"I'm fine angel, it only hurt for a second, now come back here." Xander ordered, motioning for me to return to his side. I shakily sighed before taking small steps towards him. When I was within reach Xander reached out, took my hand and pulled me to him.

I squeaked and tried to pull my hand out of his but he only continued to try to pull me onto his bed.

"Xander stop. I can't get on there with you, I'll hurt you." I stated. Xander rolled his eyes and with one last tug had me falling forward onto the bed. My eyes widened and I reached my hands out to try to stop myself but I didn't need to because Xander's hands were on my shoulders, holding me up.

"Now get on all the way." Xander said. I sighed before carefully crawling onto the small bed. I gently eased my body back onto the bed, making sure there was quit a bit of room between us, but Xander wasn't having any of that. He wrapped his arms around my waist and pulled my body flush against his.

I tensed up, going stiff as a board, and tried to pull away. Xander sighed and brought his eyes down to mine.

"Paisley I'm not going to break, your not going to hurt me, so stop being so difficult and cuddle with me." My stubborn mate demanded and I couldn't help the small smile that came to my lips. Ever so slowly I relaxed into his side, gently resting my head on his chest and wrapping my arms around him.

A small sigh left me as Xander began to stroke my hair. We were completely tangled together and it was exactly how I preferred to be.

But our sweet moment was cut short when the rooms door was suddenly pushed open and in stumbled mine and Xander's parents along with the doctor and a nurse. When the people in front of us caught sight of what was going on they raised there eyebrows.

A light blush coated my cheeks when I noticed that my mother, along with Xander's, had started to squeal like teenage girls. I quickly hid my face in the creak of Xander's neck, my blush only reddening, when I heard chuckles come from everyone in the room.

"It's good to see that your up Xander." The doctor, doctor White I learned from reading his name tag, stated. I felt Xander nod his head and slightly straighten up. I still refused to bring my head out of the crook of Xander's neck but I carefully listened to everything the doc had to say, though I had already heard it all.

"You gave us quite a scare. Everything is looking alright though, healing as it should. Most of your smaller injuries have already healed but the larger, more serious ones, are going to take a few days. There was some internal bleeding, due to your punctured lungs, but we took care of it. That and the bite on your neck are the worst of the injuries and are going to take the longest to heal, so take it easy."
