All Chapters of The Alpha and the Mistake: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

After the CT scan, I was back in the examining room, waiting for the results when the door suddenly opened. “Hey Mom-” a guy started to say. The lights came on, sending a sharp stab of pain through my eyes.“Lights off,” Kara demanded.

Exhaustion hit me like Kara’s truck when Emily Left. I sighed and sat on the bed. Closing my eyes, I sent a silent prayer to the big guy. Let this be my break, please. Grabbing a change of clothes, I showered and as I started to lay on the bed someone knocked on the door. I groaned, wanting only to lay down and go to sleep.  I opened the door to a tall, blonde, Viking looking guy.

I hadn’t gone too far when suddenly a heavy arm fell around my shoulders. Despite my new found determination a flinched and ducked away. With a surprised expression on his face, Dean held up his hands. “Sorry, didn’t mean to scare you.”Feeling silly, I blew out a breath and stood straigh

Ryder*****

God, what did I do to piss you off? I mean really! First, Mom pretty much grounded me for life and now Ryder. Mortifying didn’t cover that mess.

Ryder*******

“See normal,” Ryder said, leading me into one of the tables in the cafeteria-style dining room. He only let go of my hand when we sat down with the others. I didn’t say anything back.

It seemed wrong not to let him. God, this was such a mess and gave me a headache.

Ryder’s mom came into the room after a while. “Alright everyone, I need to do a check-up on Brook, so everyone out.”

I groaned as someone shook me. “Come on, Sleeping Beauty. Time to get up,” someone said, sounding way too cheerful. It took me a minute to realize it was Ryder.“What time is it?” I groaned, trying to hide under the pillow, but the jerk stole it from me.
