Chapter 17: Chapter 17

Chrystal pov:

Thor comes over to my bed and takes the IV needle form my arm and unhooks me from the heart monitor and then he picks me up like I was a two year old baby. I wrap my arms around him and snuggle in his neck taking in the sweet smell of my father. How could I have not known, all the signs were there I just thought he was getting paid to protect me. This whole time I have had my parent's with me weather above or down here with me protecting me. I hope I have made them proud of me so far.

Terry tries to stop him from taking me by telling him that I am not quite healed yet and the doctors say that I will have to be in the hospital for at least a week.

Thor growls at him and tells him that he will take care of me.

"Please sir we can take good care of her here" Terry says.

"That's alpha Thor to you. And we see how you took good care of her." Hey my dad is an alpha, but wait I thought he was the king?

With that said Thor turns around with me still in his arms and heads out of the room and out of the hospital to his waiting SUV and sits me gently in the passenger seat.

I look out the car window and see Terry standing there with a look of sorrow and defeat on his face. Oh how I want to run out of this damn car and run into his arms and tell him everything will be okay. But before I can decide what to do Thor jumps in the drivers seat and starts the engine and we head out of the drive and up the mountain.

My mind starts to drift to my mom and the things she has told me about her and my dad and I start to giggle. Thor looks over to me with his eyebrow up in a questioning look. Then he asks me "What's up my little princess."

"Number one I am not little anymore" I giggle out "and number two I know who you are."

Thor pulls the SUV over and turns to me and say's "What do you mean you know who I am."

"You are my father, mother told me while I was in a coma"

He reaches over and pulls me in for a hug and takes my scent in, like he has missed my scent and says "oh my little princess you do not know how long I have wanted to tell you but me and your mom was so worried about your safety and we thought it best not to tell you. But I see your mom could not stay away while you was in so much pain. Please forgive me for not being there for you."

He releases me but holds onto my hands and looks into my eyes. I give him my big smile and tell him "I forgive you, it not your fault" but as i ponder this I also realize it is not anyone's fault but mine and that Chrissy girl. So I say to my dad "You do know it is not Terry's fault either, it is not like he was told to be by my side twenty four seven. Was he?"

"No I guess I owe that boy an apology" he says chuckling with me. Then he gives me another tight hug and say's he better get me home that granny is worried about me.

We get to the house and granny runs out to greet us and has my dad to take me to my room.

Granny gets the bath started and then comes out to help me get undressed and in the tub. She lets me soak while she goes back into my room and gets my pajamas ready for me. Then she comes in and sits on the toilet and asks me to tell her what happened.

I did not want to tell her, but when she gives me that stern look I know I have no choice. I am out of school now so I figured I might as well tell her everything that Chrissy has done to me over the years. She is mad at me about not telling her about any of it at the time, but I tell her it is alright today was the worst it has ever been and that I don't know why she dislikes me. She is gorgeous and popular and I have never done anything to her. If anything I do my best to stay away from her.

"Well child she feels something special about you and that threatens her”granny says "You will see child when you turn eighteen. So we have a lot more training to do to get your body ready for the change. Now come on get cleaned up so I can help you get to bed and get a good sleep, we will talk more later."

So I wash up real quick and get out and she hands me a towel. We head to the bed room where I get dressed and get into bed. She kisses me on the forehead and tells me good night then she turns and leaves my room shutting the door behind her.

I was finding it hard to go to sleep, how do they want me to sleep I feel like I have been a sleep for ages now. I get out of bed and head to my window seat and open the window to get some fresh air. As I am sitting there my thoughts go to the blue eyed boy I just left. He looked so broken about all this I need to somehow reassure him none of this was his fault and there was nothing he could do to stop any of it. How can you stop something if you don't know what's going on behind your back.

With that last thought I let the blackness of some well-earned sleep take me over.
