“Ppenny? Emmmy?” I tried to keep the shiver out of my voice.
“Everyone is fine. Penny has a broken her arm but she is fine. You saved Emmy when you rolled over the one rogue and she was able to finish the other one off. We got there just in time for one of my men to jump in and save you.”
“One of your men?” I asked, confused.
“I had some guys scouting an area. They were only a few minutes away form your location. I swear to everything that is holy. If you ever fucking crash again and I am on the phone with you…” Alec shook his head. I felt the despite, almost scared feeling he had.
“The jeep would have kept us safe if Penny’s window wasn’t down. You did a great job reinforcing it.” I tried to reassure him.
“Penny and Emmy want to come in.” Colt said quietly.
“They can come in.”
Colt opened the door and Emmy stuck her head in. “Are you okay?” She asked quietly. Slowly, they made their way inside.
“Please tell me our dresses survived?” I asked. Alec snorted but refused to let go of my hand.
“They did.” Emmy smiled at me.
“I’m so sorry!” Penny had a tear stained face as she walked up to me. “I was feeling a little hot and wanted some air.” A fresh wave of tears ran down her face.
“It’s okay! Don’t cry. It wasn’t your fault those rogues hit us.”
“Alec, those weren’t rogues.” Emmy said, firmly as she looked at Alec.
“We know.” Alec said. The anger that filled him was intense.
“You know?” I asked, looking at him.
“Colt got a good look at them. Between them and the ones that attack his pack, something is going on.” Alec said but we fell quiet as the nurse came in to change my I.V.
“How are you feeling?” She smiled warmly at me.
“Like I’ll never get warm.” I was so cold that my bones were shivering.
“In time. your tempature is already improving so good. I’m going to take an x-ray of your ankle real quick.”
Everyone moved off to the side as she placed something under my ankle. Moving the machine over me, she positioned me just right and clicked the button. The x-ray instantly showed up on the screen.
“Yeah, we need to reset it. Do you want me to numb it before I do it?”
“No, just do it.” I said as I squeezed Alec’s hand harder. Colt came over and took my other hand.
“On the count of th-” She snapped it quickly. A sharp pain shot up my leg but I didn’t cry out. Instead, my jaw clenched shut as I tried to steady my breathing. “Impressive. Most people can’t handle that.”
“That isn’t my first joint to be out of place.” I said before I realized what I said. Her body froze for a second before she decided to ignore that comment.
“You will need a boot but you will probably be healed in a few days. Don’t over do it.”
