“Can you move the curtain so that I can see her?”
I slid the curtain over, and the sound of the sliding seemed to startle her friend awake.
“Hadley?”
“Gema, is that you? Where are we? What happened?”
Gema proceeded to recount the events that led to them being in the hospital, and her friend relaxed after hearing they had made it safely to Harvest Moon.
“There’s also something else, or should I say someone else? I won’t ruin the surprise, but you’ll be so happy when you find out.”
“Well, now I’m intrigued.” She paused and looked over at me before turning back to Gema. “Brown hair and green eyes…is he?”
Gema gave her a big smile and nodded. “I’d like you to meet Noah, my mate.”
“Oh, Goddess, he’s your mate!? That’s wonderful, so you were right this whole time?”
“Yes, the Goddess actually gave us to each other.” Gema looked back at me with the biggest smile and sparkling eyes.
As I was busy staring at my mate, a knock sounded at the door and Dr. James walked in.
“You’re awake.” He stared over at Hadley, and she stared back at him.
“You’re…my mate.” Her eyes were wide as she looked back over at Gema. “I have a mate, too!”
Gema nodded excitedly at her friend. “He came by yesterday when we first got here and found you then. He’s been waiting for you to wake up.”
“I’m awake now.” She turned back to face her mate.
“You have blue eyes,” He gazed at her with a mixture of awe and nervousness. “I had been wondering what color your eyes were all night.”
“You have blue eyes, too.” Hadley smiled back at him with the same stupefied expression.
“How about we give you two some privacy?” I said as I slid the curtain back into place.
“That was so perfect. How long do you think we’ll have to wait before he comes to check on me and lets me get out of here?”
“I think they’ll be like that for a while.”
Just as Noah said that Dr. James peeked his head over to our side. “I’m so sorry, I was supposed to check on you. Here let me look you over, and then I can get back to my mate.
I giggled and waved off his apology, “We get it, we just found out we’re mates, too.”
“Oh, well, congratulations then.” He said as he continued to check my vitals and make sure my cuts and bruises had healed. “Everything looks healed, so you should be good to go. Let me sign off on everything, and we’ll get you unhooked from these machines.”
Before long, I was out of the hospital and heading to the pack house with Noah. Hadley had also been released but had decided to spend some time with her mate. We agreed to meet up later for dinner.
“We’re all on the same floor upstairs. We got a room ready for you, but I was hoping you’d want to stay with me instead.”
“Of course, I want to stay with you. Now, show me to our room.” She grabbed my hand, squeezing it for me to lead the way.
I led her up the stairs and opened the door for her. It was just a plain guest room with no personal touches instead of the gamma suite I originally could have offered her, but it would have to do for now.
“I need a shower, join me?” She gave me a sexy little shrug as she started to strip off her clothes. I groaned as she stood naked before me. How could I not join her when she was the perfect mixture of cute and sexy?
‘Hurry up!’ Cosmo urged me as she walked into the bathroom and started the water.
When I got to the bathroom, she had found the extra toothbrush and had finished brushing her teeth. I figured I should do the same as she stepped into the shower. I wasn’t prepared for the sight of her with water dripping over her naked body, so I stood there like an idiot with my toothbrush stuck in my mouth and my dick standing at attention as she let the water run over her sweet little body.
