Justine was stalking in and out of the rooms, I knew I had to apologize to her; she was going to kill me if wine—curls didn't get me first.

I headed through the double doors ignoring the buzzing bee Justine I had only seen through the double windows before entering their doors.

"Justine." I cleared my throat walking into the room she was cleaning.

"Girl—…I don't have time for your childishness, if you don't want to train with me all you had to do was say so!" she stood up and tossed the sheets to the bed.

My eyes dropped to the crisp white sheets and trailed over to her disappointed ones. "I'm real sorry; I got all nervous when that guy yelled at me. Is he always like that?" I asked more concerned by what was wrong with him like Carey.

"No, well….he's an Alpha." She frowned and turned to fix the bed.

"He's ready for his bath and I aint the one he wants girl!" she straightened up the bed a little mad, yeah her ass was pissed.

I stood there a minute and she turned around and dropped her head to the side.

"Well?! Move you buns honey! You got a bath to give!" She pushed me to the door and I hesitated in my mind first, then my head shaking no and then my feet that had a mind of their own.

"I swear girl if you run I'm getting the nurse manager, that boy is nothing but a big old kitty—cat. He's just trying to scare you…but don't worry, his parents will be taking him soon." She pushed me toward the room and inside it.

I came to a halt as she pushed me so hard that my body went over the end of the bed slightly.

I looked up and he was putting on some black socks and my god…I think I've seen heaven.

Dude was ripped like honey on biscuits, like sweet vanilla and lilies all in one. My mouth watered and my body clenched and quivered in places illegal to the virgin mind.

"Well hi there?" he arched his brow and I nearly fell out this time from his smooth—velvet voice.

"Alright Matteo, this here is Sophia, she is your nurse aide so you be good to this girl or you'll get it from me, you here!" Justine pointed a wrinkled digit at him and he chuckled and dropped his head.

Oh sweet baby Jesus…so hot.

His eyes went up to mine drowning me in his coffee and cream the way they were lighting up.

"Oh don't worry about that Justine…she's in good hands." He licked his top lip slightly and I dropped my head feeling blush happening below my panty line.

Yeah it can damn happen…

"Well good. Here is you sponge and you water….the soap, he only uses a certain kind according to his momma. She will come in after lunch so have him ready and done. His clothes are in the closet if he wants to change." She ordered and I nodded.

His eyes were still on me and I cleared my throat, they were on my boobs and that shit wasn't cool.

I used my arms to cover my chest folding them over and his eyes snapped to me and a little growl came from him.

"Good, go ahead and take your break when you're done, although you had one in where ever you went earlier." She frowned and shook her head. "Damn kids, I swear I'm too old for this shit—….." she walked out the room mumbling and I giggled.

I didn't damn giggle but that time I couldn't help it.

"You find that amusing? Why did you run before? Come here." He demanded.

"I have a job to do Mr.—"

"You can call me Matt or Matteo" he smirked.

I grabbed his chart and looked up at him. "Mr. Vahn, I will stick to your surname." I clipped it back to his bed and he leaned back showing all his glory.

His boxers were hanging low and showing that deep "v" sitting there so perfectly….I just wanted to feel the groves on my lips….wait what?

I rolled my eyes and turned only to hear him laughing at me again.

"You can fight all you want, but soon you won't be able to resist my dimples" he winked with a damn smirk on his lips.

"My name is Sophia" I turned to fill the basin with his warm water, just perfect.

I walked over and set the basin beside his bed on the bed side table.

"How long have you been here?" he asked after a minute of silence, well more like five.

"I just started today." I drained out the wash cloth and leaned over close enough to wash his face.

"Can you not walk or something?" I asked and he laid back and frowned.

"I am not allowed to. I was injured." He confessed.

"Oh—…sorry to hear that." I said washing around his neck.

He grabbed my wrist and shocks hit me nearly making me fall…in fact they did right over him.

His strong hands went to my waist and his hand pulled me closer wrapped snug around my wrist.

"You are perfect for me." He looked in my eyes and I sighed ignoring the stupid shocks.

"P—Please, this is my job." I pulled back and took a deep breath trying to wave off the shocks that continued to assault my more personal areas.

"Why are you fighting this, you are mine." He ran his fingers over my arm slowly and I jerked back.

"Don't say that!" I huffed feeling the very words pierce my soul. I knew he was who he said he was but right now, this wasn't the time or the place.

"Um—…do you want to wash your own this?" I waved my finger circular towards his abs and lower half.

"No baby, you have to do all that…." He mimicked my circular rotation point I did with my finger.

Damn…smart ass.

I blew out my frustration trying to remember the video's at school about cleaning a male.

"Really, can't you just say I did it please." I smiled a little to tease him into doing it.

"No, do it." He moved up a bit and pulled the boxers down and my mouth spoke before my eyes.

"Holy hell!" I turned away and I knew I looked like the stop signs I counted with my OCD on the way to work this morning.

He laughed hard and leaned back. "I'm ready baby." He grabbed my hand and I didn't turn around. I grabbed the wash cloth, dipped it twice and flung it on his whatever, wherever.

"Shit woman! You put water all over me!" he growled and grabbed my hand pulling me over to him.

"Don't….I'm not r—ready for all this!" I told him, well more like warned, I had my fist ready to shove it in his mouth if he tried something.

"You can stop being scared little pup….by the way, why haven't I heard your sweet little wolf?" he gazed in my eyes and I forgot how to speak.

He rolled his eyes letting out a low growl and my eyes widened feeling he was um...getting a little excited.

"I do love the way you stroke me Sophia……what else shall you use to stroke me." His eyes dropped down my shirt and lower.

"You're a pervert!" I pulled my hand away and he used his free hand gripping the back of my neck.

Our face was so close if I smiled our lips would be touching so, I didn't move not an inch.

"Your mine, your pussy's mine, your body belongs to me……I am your mate….and nothing, not a damn thing in this room or outside it will take away what belongs to me." He licked against my lips slowly and I had the privilege of tasting that sweet vanilla I smelled.

"O—Okay." I shuttered feeling everything in me submit to his proclamation.

"W—Wait…..Not okay! Get off me! I pushed him back and he growled.

"You can run all you want to pup but your mine! You're mine In every sence of the words." He smirked.

I grabbed the wash cloth and tossed it into the basket and threw him the towel as he continued to laugh. Asshole.

"You're gross!" I snapped grabbing his clothes out of the closet.

"I would watch what you say Sophia, I'm an alpha and now once I leave here you will also, as my personal nurse."

"Uh no thanks." I told him thinking of my apartment and my Grandma Cora who needed to be checked on daily.

"We will see." I walked over ignoring him for saying that.

"Blue or black?" I held the shirts up and he looked at the blue one.

"Blue looks nice on your complexion." I told him.

"You're beautiful." He told me as I pulled the shirt down over his head.

"Please….." I murmured.

"Why are you so stubborn, I intend on breaking that. What is your last name?"

"Neward" I replied and didn't know why I even told him.

"How old are you?" he asked.

"22, why are you even asking me all this?" I huffed.

"You are my mate Sophia; I want to know my mate."

"Well….I have other things to do right now." He grabbed my arm and I rolled my eyes.

"Stop that!" he slapped my ass and I jumped holding it.

"Do you know with one word I could drag you out of this hospital and into my home? You are my mate, you will help me get better from this…..slight impairment, once my wolf heals me fully I will mate you…maybe you can pull the pants off and take me for a ride?" he licked his lips and I smacked his cheek.

"You watch your nasty talk!" I snapped.

"You are my southern bell…..I like. I don't know why your little girl hasn't purred for me yet but once she does, you will be wetter than a fuckin water fall for me baby and you won't be able to resist giving me the ride of my life."

"That's it!" I threw his jeans to him and started out the door.

"Wait….I'm—…..I can't do it myself." He confessed in a lower voice, an almost innocent one.

I slowly turned on my heel and he had his hand out to me.

"I'm sorry…..can't we start over. I need your help Sophia." He shrugged his shoulders and damn—it to hell I felt for his naughty ass.

I walked over and took his outstretched hand feeling the shocks again.

"It's a pleasure to meet you Sophia Neward, I'm Matteo Lucian Vahn. I'm 24 years old and my pack was attacked landing me in terrible shape, I was left to die but I was too strong….to die. Someone brought me here and my parents found me here only telling me my pack was slaughtered. I can't remember what exactly happened…but my pack is dead, everything from the attack, the faces....everything is swiped clean from me. My family is the only ones that are alive…my brothers Landon and Kayden are sharing the responsibility of Alpha until I get better. My parents ordered this care for protection to keep me from being a target since I can't remember who did this to me….to my pack." He looked toward the huge window and his strong hand shake became more of a soft one….one that needed to be held not shaken.

I moved my hand down his arm gently and he looked up seeing me closer, not a handshake a hug.

"I'm sorry." I whispered feeling compassion for him.

"Yeah, they all tell me that." He chuckled and I took a chance and just used boldness to comfort him…..why?

I lifted his chin a little and his eyes connected with mine.

"I'm sorry." I whispered.

"Okay." He nodded.

The feeling was rushed; I think I wanted to kiss him….or something like that.

I moved back slightly and grabbed his jeans.

"Can you move your legs at all?" I asked and he nodded a little.

I got on my knees and started putting the pants on him.

He had upper body strength from what I could see but the lower part was slightly weak.

"You have temporary paralysis. It won't last long so it's nothing for you to worry about?" I asked and he nodded without words, I could tell it was a little upsetting.

"I'm fine. I will be……now that you mine." He said as I pulled the jeans gently up his legs.

He slid off the side of the bed and he was tall I mean way taller than me.

"You can stand well," I smiled and he chuckled. "That is with support, most of the time." He replied.

"There you go, all done." I smiled helping him back to the bed.

"You hungry?" I asked.

"Yeah, really I ate lunch but it was nothing. I need more." He chuckled.

"Oh, what you want, I haven't got paid yet but I can get an advance and pay them later...they charge it to our checks."

He frowned. "If you accept me, you will never have to want for anything Sophia."

"Don't be silly Matt" I could tell he didn't like the pet name.

"I like you calling me that baby, I love you…….and I want you mate."

I sighed. "Listen, I need time for all that….I don't have my wolf okay, so…I'm pretty messed up inside. I'm still human."

His eyes enlarged. I got the memo…

"Right, that's what everyone else says." I backed up to the door.

"Sophe…baby I can help her." He said and I smiled.

"I will go get your meal, be right back." I turned hearing him call me a few more times.

Tears sprung from my eyes…unwanted and over rated, I didn't need them or cared about breaking down for nobody.

I was fine just the way I am.
