Felicity's POV.

I wake up to the sound of my own heartbeat coming through the heart monitor, I assume it is sitting next to my bed due to the loud beeping next to me that woke me up. I try to open my eyes but find I am unable to due to a covering barrier over my eyes, why can't I open my eyes? I lift my hands and feel that my head it wrapped in a bandage that also covers my eyes with some soft fabric that rests against my eyelids.

By listening to the sound of my heartbeat I assume I am in a hospital but the smell around me it tells a different story. The whole room is filled with the scent of Kendrick at every turn. I'm not sure how this could be, I figured after I was beaten half to death I would be brought back to my 'room', back to the life I was now given but I'm in...Kendrick's room?

I figuratively shake my head as I think about where I am supposed to be and instead think as to why I smell is Kendrick. Why would he be here...where is here anyway? I have no actual idea of where I am. I try and speak but a quick wheezing sound comes out of my mouth, I clear my throat a few times and try again; with the little saliva in my mouth I moisten my throat and speak but all I'm capable of is a whisper "Hello? Is anyone there? Hello?" As I speak my voice grew stronger in tone and soon enough I heard swift moving footsteps making their way into the room and towards me; I feel the person approach and my left hand grasped in a tight grip, I slightly flinch in fear at the contact.

I breathe in and instantly recognize the scent of Kendrick, I feel lips press against the palm of my hand "You're finally awake, I'm so glad you're alive. when I saw you lying there on the ground I was sure I had lost you."

Whe- where am I?" I hear him take a deep breathe, "we are in one of the spare rooms at Warren's pack, I stayed I this room the last time I was here and when I was forced to take a break when trying to find you I slept here. I would have taken you back to my pack instead but you were in too critical a condition for me to do that and all I could think of was how soon you needed medical assistance. I was so scared I had lost you." If my ears serve me correctly I swear I heard his voice crack at the end but that can't be true, he doesn't feel anything for me anymore.

"Why are you here?" I feebly try and pull my hand out of his grasp thinking he's probably here to reject me again or I must be dreaming, I'm sure soon enough I'll wake up and be back with the Ruler of the Rogues. Kendrick's hands tighten around mine even tighter, "Please, don't pull away from me."

Still being unable to believe that this is real I listen to his words and relax back into the bed; I think it is time for me to confess everything, even if this is only in my dream "I've missed you Kendrick. If I weren't dreaming and this were real I would tell you that I'm sorry. Sorry what you and your wolf had to feel when I was raped by my father, sorry for feeling pain each time that horrible rogue used my body for his own pleasure and beat me within an inch of my life. Sorry for not telling you the truth about what really happened to me and has been happening to me for most of my life, because of the fear I couldn't let go of I never meant to keep it hidden from you but he just had so much control over me for so long and I had to keep you safe."

"He told me he would kill you and although we had only just met I knew I had to make sure nothing bad would happen to you, even in this short time of knowing you you have come to mean so much to me. I knew you would feel him raping me but I also knew if I pushed you away he couldn't hurt you, if I had another chance to put my life in danger for you I would do it within a heartbeat, again. My life means nothing compared to yours, no one would miss me, and no one would shed tears for me; I've always known that. It's not like I hadn't considered taking my life before just to get away from the hell I was living but the thought of you kept me going. Once I had met you and you rejected me it changed though, not because of your rejection but because I know your life has a bigger impact in this world."

I could see him open him mouth to argue against me but I stopped him, "no do not argue, you cannot sway me from what I know is true. Look at me: I'm a whore, a slut, a waste of space. I'm hardly lovable and definitely not Luna material. You on the other hand, you have a pack to take care of, people who love you unconditionally, and people who look up to you for guidance and direction. Even though we don't get second mates I was sure once I was gone you could find another to love, someone better, someone who is nothing like me because that is what you deserve. Not....this." I wave my right hand over myself as a way to point out my body and person.

Before I can say anything else the Kendrick in my dream speaks, "That is where you are wrong Felicity, you would be missed, cried for and needed. This is not a dream we are in, you are awake, this is reality and I am hear beside you holding your hand and am never letting go. All those things you listed about yourself of how unworthy you are is untrue: I would miss you, I would cry for you, I will always need you. You think that no one cares for you but I do, you think that I am more important than you and people will care if I'm alive more than you? Well that is not true becuase none of that could even be possible without you."

"Although many wolves find their mates at a young age even though I didn't I worked hard to become the Alpha I am today because the man I have become, the strong wolf I have become and all the things I have done for my pack was all driven by the thought of you. I wanted to make sure I was a man you could be proud of, one that you knew no matter what would take care of you, cherish you and do everything I could to make you happy. A man is meant to work hard to provide for his woman- not that I dont think women can't take care of themselves but I was raised as a gentleman by my mother- that is what I did, whether you were there are not because I knew that at any moment I could find you and now I have."

"I have been waiting my whole life to find the woman specifically created for me and here you are; even though I made a very stupid mistake within the first week of us meeting I hope you can forgive me and we can share our time together, making everyday special. Now because of that stupid mistake I made of rejecting the most beautiful thing I have ever seen, I will spend the rest of our lives making it up to you, no matter what." I could feel the shock wash over my entire being realizing this was not a dream and I had just confessed everything to him. I began to panic and tried to pull my grasp out of his hand and get out of the bed, "Oh my gosh, oh my gosh, oh my gosh! I just told you everything. I thought this was a dream, how am I here and not back in my room at the rogue house. What is happening?!"
