And then she stopped and my eyes fluttered open, my throat loosing it's clingy feeling and I felt the heat leave and I opened my yes to the light.

"You are so lucky I can fix that, you could have died from that injury, it was at the base of you skull in the back, you could have been paralyzed for the rest of you life if you had lived, but you're good now, Lance is coming in," she said the last part just as the door opened and she saw Lance standing there smiling widely as he rushed over, grabbing her in his arms and she heard the door close and Lilly was gone.

"I have no clothes, release me please," Evelyn mumbled and pulled away, pulling the blanket tight around her naked body as he chuckled, running his fingers along her jaw line and she turned her head away "Clothes, pretty please?" and he nodded, grabbing shirt and shorts from a chair and dropping it on her lap "Turn," She added and he rolled his eyes, obeying and she stood, slipping them on quickly before walking over to him and slipping her arms around his neck from behind him and smiled when he turned, lifting her into his arms in a tight hug that left her gasping for air.

"We should get you food, you should be hungry," He said and she nodded and he picked her up bridal-style and carried her downstairs into the kitchen, sitting her down on the counter as he moved around, sorting out a couple of sandwiches.

"Thank you," Evelyn said quietly when he handed her a vegetable sandwich with fruit, just how she liked it. She smiled at him before taking a bite, after she had finished it in a record of seconds, he smiled at her and hugged her tight.

"I'm so happy you're okay," He mumbled, squeezing tighter and she wiggled against his tight grip.

"Please don't choke me, I may not survive that," She gasped out and he instantly loosened up and she smiled, kissing his cheek and making him surprised. "and don't ever come in the bathroom again while I'm taking a shower,"

"Okay," Lance mumbled, grinning and she smiled, poking his arm and he released her the entire way. Evelyn jumped down from the counter, landing unsteadily but quickly caught her balance and she walked to the living room with him trailing after her, she saw it was empty and sat on the couch.

"Where is everyone?" She asked curiously and he grinned mischievously.

"Out," He said in a simple tone.

"Okay, I guess that explains it," She said sarcastically as he sat down beside her, slinging a arm around her he pressed a button on a remote on the couch and a movie started to play.

"You can sleep if you want, but I doubt that you're tired, you slept two hours," He said and she frowned.

"I feel tired thought," Evelyn said and a yawn slipped out of her mouth and she smiled "See?"

"Well, sleep, I'll be here the entire time," She nodded and smiled, resting her head against his hard, warm chest and he wrapped both of his arms around her, pulling her close and she lifted her legs onto the couch beside her as the movie began to play.

Evelyn woke up, her eyes opening slowly and she blinked a few times as memories rushed back into her mind. She could feel strong arms around her, holding her to a warm, hard chest. She glanced around, her bright eyes scanning her surroundings as she realized Lance must have fallen asleep as she had during the movie.
She pried his tight grip of of her as gently as she could, putting a large couch pillow in his arms as they wrapped around it, burrowing his face in the pillow and she couldn't help but giggle. She stood straight, stretching and walking to the TV where the screen held a little light, it was still on. Evelyn pressed the off button then walked towards the bathroom. She slipped into the door after making sure nobody else was inside and closed it, clocking it behind herself and she slipped off the clothes she was wearing, turning on the water and waiting for it to get warm before she stepped in and washed herself quickly.
Turning the water off, she stepped out and dried off with a light brown towel before putting her clothes back on, she brushed her hair and pulled it into a high messy bun before walking out and back to the living room.
She saw Lance waking up and he gave a odd look at the pillow in his arms and looked up when he heard her laugh.

"That was a very horrible trick," He said as she snickered and sat down on a recliner, pulling her feet up beside her.

"No, I just didn't want to be strangled," Evelyn said, smiling at him and he cracked a grin.

"Sorry," He mumbled and her smile became smaller after his apology.

"Stop apologizing or I'll make you stop, it's incredibly annoying," She said, giving him a mock glare and he grinned bigger.

"What will you do to make me stop?" Lance asked, standing up and walking towards her slowly and she let out a laugh and grabbed a large pillow.

"This," She said once he was closer and tackled him back onto the couch and hit him on the head with the pillow until he held his hands up.

"I surrender!" He yelled and she dropped the pillow and climbed off of him, a giant smirk on her face, but it disappeared when she heard thunderous footsteps banging down the stairs and she ran over and sat back down on the recliner, trying to look innocent as Cory burst into the living room.

"Vas happenin?!" Cory asked loudly, half asleep obviously since his hair was disarray and he had boxers on only. Evelyn started to laugh, burying her face in her hands as her innocent facade disappeared.

"My maniac mate was beating me with a pillow," Lance said in a 'duh' tone and Cory narrowed his eyes at her, walking slowly towards her.

"How could you beat on the alpha?!" Cory said, stalking towards her and she grinned, grabbing a pillow that had fallen on the floor.

"Like this," Evelyn said and jumped up, whacking him on the arm then stomach with the pillow before jumping onto the couch with Lance and whispered to him "Now is when you're supposed to protect me," he grinned and nodded as Cory grabbed a pillow and trudged towards her, glaring and swung the pillow at her but Lance caught it.

"I am her knight, I will not allow you to hurt her," Lance said evenly, grinning stupidly and she giggled.

"I can't wait to get my mate," Cory said sarcastically and Evelyn smiled up at him.

"You know you want a mate, you just don't want to accept that small piece of what you call a heart knows it, and brain, yeah, that too, if you have one though, which is yet to be proven," Eve said, smiling wider when he gave her a confused look, "Now you may want to go back to sleep or clean up in case she comes anytime soon, your hair is totally not good for meeting a girl at the moment, and all you're wearing is boxers," Cory looked down as if to make sure she was right and suddenly he was a blur up the stairs and Lance chuckled making her smile bigger.

"That was awesome, I think you embarrassed him though," Lance said and she shrugged, her eyes glancing up at him as she pulled her legs up beside her, her knees touching his legs slightly.

"Thank you..." She said softly and he smiled as she looked down, he tilted her head up with a finger under her chin.

"Don't you dare get embarrassed around me," He growled softly, making her blush a hot red and he sighed.

"To late," She mumbled, closing her eyes tightly "I'm to wea-" but she couldn't finish because something warm was pressed against her lips, she opened her eyes and saw his hand on her mouth and she pried it off and mumbled "That would have been more romantic if you had kissed me," and she turned away, lying against the opposite art of the couch from him with her head on the armrest.

"That can be arranged," Lance murmured and she kicked her foot at him, kicking him in the gut by the sound of it, "Fuck, you are not weak," he grunted out, probably clutching his stomach. Eve giggled and turned from her side to her back and looked at him, sure enough, he was doing everything she thought he was, but there was humor etched across his handsome features also.

"I only caught you off guard, I am weaker than anyone could have ever imagined," Evelyn said, crossing her arms across her chest in a challenging way, making him smirk as he pushed himself to his feet.

"Oh? Is that so?" He asked, creeping closer, making her take equivalent steps back, in a dancing motion they turned around the living room, narrowly avoiding furniture as she ran from him, her movements quick and judged as Lance stumbled clumsily after her, obviously not the best dancer in the world- she would have to keep that in mind.

"Lance! Stop whatever you are doing!" She ordered, jumping down from the back of the couch she had climbed on and edged towards the stairs, his eyes locked on hers, not her movements as she made to catch up to her.

"Nah, you like playing tag," And with that, he lunged, sending her sprinting up the steps at a speed unhumanly possible as he followed, just as quick but behind from the distance down stairs- and his lack of stair climbing ability and two trips.

"HELP!" Eve shrieked, running into his room and slamming the door, locking all of the deadbolts he had and flopping onto his bed, breathing heavily as he reached the door and tried to open it, but ended up just banging on it.

"Ev! Let me in!" He yelled, his wolf uttering a slightly annoyed growl from him as they fought the steel door. Eve decided it was a nice time for a nap at that moment and within seconds she was passed out and curled up on the cozy bed.

"Evelyn," A gruff voice sang in a soft, sweet and incredible tone into her ear, awakening her from a sleep
