The Female Warrior And The Alpha Episode 21 by Yasminne

Theme : Night-time Visitor

“What the hell!”
A surprised cry broke the moment we were having, making us look towards the source of the sound.
“The last time I was here, the door was attached to the doorway!”
A female in scrubs walked in with confusion and surprise written all over her face.
My eyes zeroed in on a tag that was clipped to her ID badge, it had RN written on it.
She’s one of the registered nurses caring after me.
I felt Theo lean away and let out an exhasperated sigh, looking annoyed by the distraction.
I watched him curiously, wondering what he wanted to tell me. Was it important? It sounded like it was…
The nurse, however, seemed completely oblivious to the change in atmosphere when she busted in. She proceeded to rant about the door and blinds before she made her way to me.
She bowed her head at Theo and greeted him, “Alpha.”
She turned to me with a bright smile.
“Hi, I’ve been your primary nurse. Call me Andrea.”
I smiled at her. “Hi, I’m Elisia.”
This made her laugh, like really hard.
“Of course, I know who you are!” She gushed, giggling a little.
“Ah, right.” I laughed unsurely, taken aback by her personality.
“You’re my patient! I have to know your name!” She continued to explain, nodding happily.
Ooh, that’s quite interesting…
She hasn’t mentioned the whole famous warrior thing, she’s the first person I’ve come across to have done that…excluding Theo.
“And you’re also the famous undefeated warrior!” She added a second after my thought.
And there it is!
“That’s me.” I replied, smiling a little.
“I just came to check up on you. Are you feeling any discomfort or pain?”
“Nope, I feel fine.”
“That’s good, I’ll get going now. If you need anything, just press the red bell by your side and someone will be on their way.”
I nodded at her as she proceeded to bow to Theo and leave the room.
“So what did you want to tell me?” I asked, wasting no time.
Theo watched me carefully before he opened his mouth to reply.
“Elisia!”
Another distraction?
Seriously?
I reluctantly turned towards the door and saw Jay standing at the doorway.
“Jay.” I breathed, glad to see him. “Where the
hell have you been?”
His lips curled up to form a relieved and happy smile. Those green eyes of his were filled with unshed tears.
He just chuckled as a reply and walked to my bed.
Theo sighed heavily, catching the attention of Jay. Thankfully, he didn’t comment on it and stood on the other side of the bed.
“How are you feeling?” He whispered, stroking my hair in a comforting way.
I smiled up at him, “I’m hanging in there, cry baby.”
“These are manly tears! Do you need me to get you something? Like food or ask the doctor to increase the dosage of painkillers?””I actually feel fine, I don’t feel the pain of my injuries anymore.”
“I’m sorry you had to feel it in the first place.”
And with that, he leaned forward and kissed my forehead.
A loud crash made me jump out of my skin in alarm. I looked towards the source of the crash to see Theo standing with his chest heaving up and down.
He gave us one long look before storming out the room.
I stared after him, sudden guilt rushing through me. It’s not like that kiss meant anything, it was from someone who’s like a sibling. Someone I have a platonic relationship with and who cares for me.
He didn’t need to be pissed off everytime Jay gets close…
However, you are his mate and any unmated male shouldn’t be that close to you, my wolf added. It’s not fair to him.
I bit my lips in thought, while pushing my wolf to the back of my mind. I should take his perspective into consideration, and be more aware of my actions.
“He’s so fucking weird.” Jay snarled, staring at the doorway he’d gone through.
“No, he’s not.” I argued, not missing a beat.
Jay raised his eyebrows at me in surprise, wondering why I was defending him all of a sudden.
Thankfully, he changed the subject.
“Let’s talk about what the hell happened in the cage.”
I groaned, knowing this talk was going to happen sooner or later.
“What the hell happened? You completely changed your style of fighting, it’s the reason why you’re staying on this hospital bed for days! I’ve never seen you get beaten that much, it was fucking scary to watch.”
“I had to, Jay!”
He crossed his arms, as he waited for me to explain. It’s times like this when I’m reminded he’s the son of an Alpha.
“She knew my style, my tactics and my weaknesses. I had to completely change up the way I fight to throw her off.”
Jay, as I expected, appeared confused. “Why do you think she knew how you fight?”
“According to Kobi, she had been to every single one of my matches. Every single one! She has enough information to gather from all those fights to come up with a stratagy to beat me.”
“Woah.”
“Yup and I totally forgot about it until the first couple minutes into the fight. She was predicting all my moves and was blocking them seamlessly.”
“I remember that part, I was shocked at how good she was.”
“I was too, until I remembered that she wasn’t necessarily predicting them…she was expecting them. So I had to change up my whole style.”
“Risky.”
“Risky, but it worked.”
He let out a loud sigh and scratched the back of his neck. He sat on my bed near my feet, the mattress dipping from his weight.
“Have you called Alpha and Luna?” I asked, referring to his parents.
“Yes, I told them that you won and that you were injured.”
I groaned again, and pouted. He laughed at my reaction and said,” Actually, I told them you had ‘a few injuries’.”
I let out a breath of relief. “Thanks, I didn’t want them to worry.””I know, it’s your consideration and kindness that makes you amazing.” Jay said, smiling at me.
Aww, he’s so sweet.
“What? Not my crazy fighting skills?” I asked, pretending to look offended.
“That too!”
We talked for hours on end until Andrea, the nurse popped in and reminded us that, “Visitation hours is coming to an end.”
My happy mood deflated a little after hearing that. “He can’t stay?”
“I already asked, they seem pretty strict about people who aren’t patients sleeping in the hospital.” Jay sighed, looking apologetic.
I smiled back at him to show him I was fine. “It’s okay, I’ll see you tomorrow.”
“Bright and early.” He added, winking at me. “Sleep well.”
He leaned in to kiss my forehead again, this time I stiffened under his touch, thinking of Theo. He wasn’t here, yet I still felt guilty.
“I will.” I replied, watching him leave the room.
Once again, I was alone in the sterile looking hospital room. I looked around the room, pursing my lips in bordem.
I noticed a black duffle bag by the right side of my bed. I frowned in confusion as I stared at it longer.
That was my duffle bag.
I, obviously, hadn’t brought it here so someone else did.
It couldn’t have been Jay since he was by my left side the entire time he’d here.
It also couldn’t have been Leona and Julian since they’d also been standing by the left side of the bed. So that meant…
It was Theo?
I slowly shifted my weight to the right side of the bed and stretched my hand out towards the bag.
My fingertips were barely brushing against the bag. I retracted my arm and let out an exhausted sigh.
I shifted even more towards the end of the bed and reached for the bag. The exertion had inflicted a little pain in my chest, but I ignored it.
Once my hand reached the handles, my fingers curled around it and pulled it up. Unfortunately, that meant feeling the same sharp pain in my chest.
I had successfully brought it up to the bed with a huff and eagerly opened it.
The first item I noticed is my washbag. My eyes widened at the fact that he had packed my washbag which contained all my necessities.
My heart warmed at his kind and thoughtful efforts. I was so overwhelmed by his presence earlier, that I hadn’t noticed he’d been carrying this duffle bag.
I proceeded to look further into the bag to find a black hoodie and shorts.
I took out the black hoodie, realising it’s the one he let me borrow back when we were in the lake house.
I had this hoodie tucked away, so it couldn’t have been easy to find. It would’ve been easier for him to grab any of my hoodies, but he’d gone the extra mile to find his.
I, now, had clothes to wear when I leave the hospital. My warrior outfit was probably thrown away because of the blood, dirt and rips it had from the fight.
I was amused to find that he’d thrown in some granola bars and a bottle of water in there too.
This was so sweet and I hadn’t even had the chance to thank him. I wasn’t even sure if he’d visit me in hospital again because I angered him.I repacked the things and placed it onto the floor with a sigh.
It was getting pretty dark and my eyes were straining from the bright light. I pressed the red button and waited for someone to come.
Another nurse stepped into the room and asked what she could help with.
“Sorry, but could you turn off the lights?” I asked sheepishly, feeling bad to call her all the way here for something simple.
“Yes, of course! Don’t apologise, call whenever you need help.” She reassured me, turning off the light. “Wouldn’t it be better if you changed rooms? The light in the hallway would bother you since you don’t have a door.”
“Oh, would that be alright? I don’t want to inconvenience you.” I said unsurely.
“Don’t be silly, I’ll be right back. I’ll double check if we have a room ready.”
She left for a few minutes before coming back.
“Good news, the room next door is ready to move into.”
“Thank you.” I thanked her as she fiddled with the machines attached to me.
I asked to bring the duffle bag with me into the other room before she pushed my bed and situated me in the new room.
“Now you can shut the door and not have the hallway light bother you.” She laughed.
She fiddled with the machines once more, checking if they’re properly attached to me before leaving.
I adjusted the mattress with the remote and lay in the darkness.
I wonder what Theo wanted to tell me…?
I closed my eyes with a sigh.
If only we weren’t cut off by others…
Scratch
My eyes flew open at the sound as I stilled to hear more.
Scratch scratch
This room is haunted…
Oh God, I’m too young to die from a ghost.
The fact that I couldn’t move my entire torso increased the likelihood of not getting out of here alive.
I was facing the windows, where the sound was coming from. I began to regret leaving the windows open.
I watched the windows with wide eyes, praying nothing was going jump out.
I was completely relying on the moonlight to help me see any kind of movement.
Suddenly, a shadow appeared behind the blinds making me supress an alarmed gasp.
What the hell was that?
It was moving stealthily, trying to make it’s way into my room. My hand slowly trailed along the side of the bed until I reached a familiar shape of a button. My heart was banging hard against my chest from the fear of this unknown creature inviting itself into my hospital room.
I rested my fingers on the red button but didn’t press it, I wanted to find out what it was before I called anyone.
I tried to control my uneven breathing when I focused on what looked a silhouette of a man.
The silhouette had managed to open the window completely, stick one leg out and place it on the floor.
I gasp escaped from me, causing the shadow to stop moving completely.
It heard me.
I watched in fear mixed with curiosity as the shadow slowly continued to climb it’s way into the room.Why wasn’t I pressing the red button?
I couldn’t bring myself to press it, my attention was solely focused on this man or thing climbing into my room.
It was standing on it’s two feet, almost completely covered by the blinds except for it’s feet.
It wore black and white Nike sneakers, the same one’s I have.
Also the same one’s Theo has…
“No way.” I breathed as I took it the shadow’s figure.
The figure moved from behind the blinds and revealed itself.
“Theo?”
He wore a sheepish smile as he raised his hand to wave at me.
“Didn’t know you’d be awake.”
I gaped at him in disbelief and shock, wondering why he’d just climbed into my room at this time like it was normal.
“Let’s get the obvious question out the way, why are you here?” I questioned, raising an eyebrow at him.
He raised an eyebrow back at me, with an equal amount of sass.
“Do you want me to go?”
“No.” I blurted, mentally face-palming myself. I didn’t miss a beat answering that question…I should’ve hesitated or something.
“What I mean is, what brought you here?” I asked, trying again.
He walked towards my bed, sat down on the chair next to it and looked into my eyes.
“Because I wanted to keep you company.” He admitted, waiting for my reaction.
A tight, happy feeling erupted from my chest when I heard his reply. I watched him searching my face for clues of what I was feeling.
His blue eyes seemed to glimmer in the moonlight making him look more magical. His dark hair wasn’t styled to perfection like usual, but looked casually groomed giving him a boyish vibe.
He looked so young with the wisps of his hair floating around his face, almost innocent looking.
“Thank you.” I breathed, glad to not be alone.
An amused smirk took over his features, once again reminding me of his devilishly handsome looks.
I wanted to see his dimpled smile again…how long before I’m blessed with that visual?
He glanced at the duffle bag next to the bed, and picked it up.
“I packed this for you, I hope everything you need is in it.”
“Again, thank you.”
We fell into a comfortable silence as he shifted on his seat.
“Wait, how did you get in? Didn’t anyone see you?” I asked frowning.
“I only get caught when I want to be caught.” He replied, shrugging like it was no deal.
“Couldn’t you have just walked through the front door, the normal way?”
“They’re really strict about having visitors.” He admitted, scratching the back of neck sheepishly.
“You’re their Alpha, they would’ve probably let you through.” I pointed out.
“My pack, my rules!” I quoted him, imitating his deep and husky voice.
“Haha, very funny.” He said sarcastically, a small smile pulling on his lips. “I may be their Alpha, but the hospital is one of the few places that has strict policies that I can’t interfere with.”
“Alright, so you had to resort to climbing through a window. I was in the another room, how did you even know I was in this one?”
“Your scent.”
He shifted in his seat again, obvious discomfort showing on his face. I glanced around the room to see there was not a comfier seat in sight.
“How long are you staying?” I asked, feeling bad he was uncomfortable.
“Until tomorrow…I’m staying the night.” He replied, sounding suprised as though it was obvious.
“You’re telling you’re spending the entire night on that uncomfortable chair?” I sighed, shaking my head at him.
“You could tell?”
I rolled my eyes at this…literally anyone could tell.
“You don’t have to stay, it’s fine.” I reasurred him. “You coming here to accompany me was very kind of you, thanks.”
“No, I made the choice to stay with you the entire night. What if something happens to you during the night? The nurses won’t be checking up on you regularly when you’re sleeping.”
“Nothing will happen Theo, I’m in stable condition.”
“Well, I need to stay for my sake then.”
I stared at him, waiting for him to elaborate.
“I need to make sure you’re okay.” He finally admitted.
Oh man.
If he kept saying things like that, I might do something I’ll regret.
“Do you want to sleep on this bed with me?”
The words escaped me before I could stop them.
I couldn’t take them back nor could I play it off like I meant to say something else.
We both froze at my words and said nothing.
I knew I’d say something I’d regret…
Ugh.
“I would ask if you would mind…but I have a feeling you’re already regretting your offer.” He started to say. “So I’m accepting your offer before you can take it back.”
He stood up abruptly and starting taking his shoes off as I stared at him in alarm.
Was he really…?
Oh God.
“Hey, you’re the one who offered your bed.” He smirked, putting his hands up. “Your hospital bed is big enough to fit the both of us…now do you need help scooting over?”
I opened my mouth and closed it again, not sure what to say.
“Elisia, we’re only sharing a bed. Does that make you feel uncomfortable?” He sighed, smirking at my reaction.
Suddenly, he didn’t seem sweet at all and was just a jerk.
“No, it doesn’t.” I shot back. “Jump right in.”
His eyebrows raised in surprise…damn, even I was surpised.
I carefully scooted the left side of the bed, giving him space to lay on.
Without taking his intense eyes off me, he slid into the bed and pulled the covers over him.
My body went into a panicked frenzy with him being so close to me. His body heat warmed the cold bed and gave me shivers.
We were facing each other, staring into each other eyes.
My leg accidently rubbed against his, causing electrifying sparks of pleasure course through me.
My eyes widened from the touch, shocked by it’s effects on me. Theo let out of a quiet gasp when he felt my leg.
Looks like I’m not the only one feeling those sparks.

Both of our breathing were matching, uneven and heavy. This much proximity was obviously affecting the both of us.
