The Wolves Beneath the Sanctuary

Chapter 89 Woke Up

Romano "Ivan, Malik," she yells over my shoulder, and in seconds I hear running footsteps behind me. "Uncle Mano, you woke up," I hear Ivan shout before I feel his arms wrap around my leg, and Malik wraps his arms around my other leg. "They both missed you, Mano," My Little Angel says. I place a hand on her cheek to look into her eyes, and I feel the sparks run down my arm; her eyes widen as she feels them too. "Hello, my Little Angel. What is your name?" I ask, and she whispers, "Josy," as she blushes, and I place a kiss on the tip of her nose. We stand there for a little while, and I bury my nose in the crook of her neck, inhaling her scent. Torben is purring in the back of my head as she wraps her arms tighter around my neck; I wonder how long I have been out for and where we are exactly. I don't want to let go of them, but I need to ask a few questions and maybe get something to eat; just as I think about food, my stomach starts to rumble. "Sounds like someone needs some food; why don't the three of you get dressed and I will make sure there will be breakfast by the time you are ready," My Little Angel says. "Waffles," Ivan says as Malik asks for pancakes; I place her on her feet, and she kisses both of them on their forehead before sending them out of the room. "Your clothes are in there," she says as she points at a dresser, and she pulls open the drawer of the nightstand to hand me the small bag I packed. "No one knows it was there, and I didn't look inside," she says before she gets on her tiptoes to kiss my jaw. "I will be right back, and during breakfast I will answer any questions you might have," she walks out of the room, and moments later she passes the door again, but this time she is wearing a pair of sweats and a t-shirt. I look down at the small bag in my hands and smile as I remember the necklace that is in there. It is a family heirloom, and I can't wait to give it to my Mate. I walk into the bathroom to take a shower, and when I look into the mirror I am surprised to see that my beard is neatly trimmed; looks like someone took good care of me while I was unconscious. I carefully remove the hair tie to take out the braid, and I let the water cascade down my back while my mind wanders back to my Little Angel. My eyes open wide when I remember the male voices I heard, and I know that two of those voices belong to Ivan and Malik, but I wonder who the other male in her life might be. By the time I am dressed, I smell the scent of food drifting into the room, and I allow myself to follow the scent to a scene that has me roaring—my Mate in the arms of another Male. "Mano, calm down," she says as she places her hand against my cheek. "Argos adopted me as his baby Sister; his own baby Sister can kick his ass if she wants," she says, making the male growl softly.Ivan is nodding his head rapidly while Malik is laughing, and I see the male looking at me with his hands raised in the air. "Sorry, I was just congratulating her on finally finding her Mate. I am glad you finally woke up, Romano. Those three have been very worried about you," he says. I wrap my arms around her waist to bury my nose in her neck; I inhale deeply to calm myself and Torben down. Argos is placing plates in front of Ivan and Malik, and I chuckle when I hear Ivan call him Uncle Argos; looks like I have been out for quite some time. "Okay, I will leave the four of you to your breakfast. If you need my help, just link me and I will be here as soon as I can," Argos says before he walks out of the room. We eat our breakfast in a comfortable silence, and I am glad Josy didn't object when I pulled her into my lap; Torben and I just need to have her as close to us as possible. Ivan and Malik are clearing the table when there is a knock on the door, and a second later the door opens to reveal a female that somehow feels familiar. "Well, I'll be damned. You finally decided to get out of bed, Romano," she says as she walks up to me, and I smile as I hear Josy giggle. "I am Alice, and I am the Pack-doctor for Crystal Blood Pack. How do you feel?" she asks. "I feel fine, no pain or anything like that. I haven't been able to ask any questions yet, but I have a feeling those three will be talking my ears off in a few minutes," I say, and my Little Angel swats my arm, while Ivan and Malik start objecting. Alice checks my vitals before she gives me the all clear. "Just take it easy for a while; you need to get your strength back," she says before she walks out of the door, and I turn towards Josy as she is making the two of us some coffee. "How long was I unconscious?" I ask her as I step behind her and wrap my arms around her waist. "Two weeks," she says, and I stiffen as I realize it would have given my enemies time to find our trail. "Mano, what is wrong?" she asks, but I can't answer that question with Ivan and Malik here. "Do you want me to link Argos?" she whispers, and I smile at the thoughtfulness of my Mate; I just nod my head at her question.
