Lanora's POV:
I hear a beeping noise like an alarm, or something I cant quite put my finger on.
"Turn that off!" I say. Groggy and half asleep.
"Sorry miss, no can do, we have to check your vitals." A female voice says.
I immediately sit up. What the fuck?
Where am I? I look around, I'm in a hospital bed, I try to lift my arm but I am restricted. I look down and I am cuffed. Fuckkkk my feet too? I was fucking catured again? Guess I wasnt as good as I thought.
"The king will be back soon, he will uncuff you." The same voice says to me.
I look over at the woman who seems to be in a nurses uniform.
"Can't you help me, I'm scared and I have to use the restroom." I give her my best sad and pitiful look. She looks at me with sympathy.
"I'm sorry dearie, there is only one key to your locks and the king has possession over them, even if I could get you uncuffed I wouldn't, the king would have my derriere if anything happened to you." I flop back down in defeat. How can I get out of this situation before he gets here? I ponder on the window placement. If a doctor comes in I could possibly get a scalpel and a hair pin from my hair to break the locks. Then hop out the window as long at its not four stories or more.
"Can I get the doctor? My head hurts." I look at the nurse, she looks back at me suspicious but presses the intercom near her on the wall to call for the doctor. I mean my head did, hurt, as well as my neck... I brought my hand to my neck, ouch. It was a little sore. That bastard chocked me unconscious.
I will say the moon goddess blessed that man with looks. Its a shame I was compelled and commissioned to kill him. I shook my head, what was I thinking, I didnt want a man. As much as I tired not to I couldnt help but remember his distinctive silver hair and brown eyes. He was also tatted from his arms to his chest and up his neck. What is wrong with me? I have to kill him. I have to do so quickly so I can go get my sister and run so far away no one will bother us again.
"Well, what seems to be the problem" the doctor says while he closes the door behind him.
I cough and say "My head and neck hurt, can you tell me what happened?" Play dumb thats what I'll do.
"Well, I cant help you with your memory, frankly I do not know what transpired, the king brought you here and asked us to secure you and make sure to keep up with your vitals" he says "but I'll tell you what, I can take a look at your injuries." He walks up to me, taking a wooden popsicle stick and pressing my tongue down. "Your air ways are clear, no serious damage to the esophagus, you do seem to have ecchymosis"
"Am I going to be okay?" What is the fuck is ecchymosis? But I refrain from asking that.
"Oh, it just means general bruising around the neck. Now open up again for me." He puts a thermometer in my mouth to which I then close my mouth around it.
"99.1" he says, " slightly elevated, we will keep an eye on it but for now a 500mg acetaminophen to reduce inflammation, help control some of the pain and reduce your fever. You should be in tip top shape by tomorrow morning." He says while grabbing the clip board near my bed. And writing something down. I did not see a scalpel on him but if I break the pen down it could work. I nodded at him pretending to be complacent. I need that pen. He goes to walk out the door then turns around, "If anything else seems to bother you let me know, or the nurse here Mrs.Rose." he says while closing the door. I lay there for a second. How do I get her to look away long enough so I can get the pen. A few minutes pass by and then someone comes in with a glass of water and a paper cup with my medicine. The nurse stands and puts the items on my bedside table. I have one arm and one leg locked down but I can still use one arm at least. I grab my water and drop it. "Oh no." I say
"I am so sorry, do you mind getting me another glass of water?" I ask.
"Im not supposed to leave you unsupervised." She says
"I know but the doctor wants me to take this medicine and I cant with no water especially since my throat hurts." I say the last two words kinda whiny.
"Fine, I will be right back. Don't move."
I show her my cuff as if to say "move where?" And when she was satisfied I wasnt going anywhere she walked out. My movements became faster and I used my free foot to try and grab the clipboard. When I secured the clipboard between my feet I used my one hand to reach down while straining my other had in the cuff. I grab the pen quickly then tried to hook the clipboard back up but it fell. Oh gezz. Just as it fell Mrs. Rose came back in. "There was only room temperature wat-..." she was say when she opened the door. I quickly hid the pen under my sheet.
"What happened, the five seconds I was gone?" She walks over to the clipboard and hangs it back up.
"I accidentally kicked it. My bad." I say while shrugging
She shakes her head "clumsiness is not graceful or ladylike, one must be patient and aware of her surroundings." She says as she put the cup back down on the bedside table.
"It is getting late you should get you some rest." She says as she goes back to the cornor of the room in a recliner flipping through channels on the TV.
I slowly reach in my hair for a bobbypin. When I locate one I slowly bend my body to try and reach the cuff on my ankle. Removing this one first will be less conspicuous if she decides to look over at me, she can still see the cuff on my wrist. I will save that one for last. I reach down and try to fiddle with the lock using one hand. Not an easy task but I did learn this tactic in sector three. I finally hear a click on my ankle and Mrs. Rose looks up at me but in the same second the door swings open and I stop in my tracks. Mrs. Rose looks up at the person who just walked in and to my surprise it is the Lycan King. His distinctive smell brushed past me. Amber and Pinewood, my god no man should ever smell that good. I jump back a little surprised at his entrance.
"Hello there mate." He says
