Chapter 22 || James

   For the most part, my day was filled with watching movies, catching up on homework, and just hanging out with everyone. It was only around 6:30 p.m. did everyone begin to leave. 

   Roxy, Alison, and Blake were the first to go; since Noah was finally awake, Roxy could finally return home knowing her brother was okay. And with Alison being Roxy's mate, she went with her. Blake just decided to tag along. 

   Cassidy and Cole were the next to leave since both had school the next day. We all had missed school for two days due to Noah's condition, and now that he was awake, we can finally return, not that we really wanted too. 

   But Noah wasn't going back to school till he was better, and that meant I wasn't going either. I refuse to leave my mate's side ever again. 

   And now, Noah and I laid in his hospital bed, cuddled up next to each other as we watched the first Resident Evil movie on Noah's hospital TV. Noah laid with his head on my chest, our legs entangled with each other, while I had my arms secured around my beloved mate. " I love you..." I murmured as I sniffed Noah's soft black locks.

   He giggled and buried his head in my chest before whispering," I love you too..." 

-----

   I woke up early the next morning to the sound of gasping. I slowly opened my tired eyes to see Noah sitting up on the bed. He was covered with a thin layer of sweat as his body trembled a bit," Noah..? Love, what's wrong?" I ask as I sit up on the hospital bed, which barely fit the two of us," Did you have another nightmare?" 

   He shook his head," I-I...don't know..." he replied honestly, staring down at his lap," It feels so real...but..it just can't be."

   I sit up more and pull Noah onto my lap, his head laying on my chest," Try to explain it to me then." I state, rubbing Noah's back comfortingly," Maybe I could help?

   He let out a shaky sigh before nodding," W-Well...this isn't my first time having this...dream." Noah explained," When I 'died'...I had this dream where I met The Moon Goddess, and The God of the Night as well."

   My eyes widen in shock," Really?" 

   He nods his head," T-They said something about...giving me a gift. Well, merrily unlocking something inside me." He stated," That's when they placed their hands on my chest, and a weird light began-"

   " Wait. Did you say light?" 

   " Y-Yeah...it was a blue light that glowed from my chest," Noah replied, looking up at me," why do you ask?"

   I avert my gaze from Noah's," Well...when you..'died'...I felt our mating bond break. But a blue light glowed from your chest. Then suddenly, you were back." I answer, feeling Noah stiffen in my grip," Maybe...it wasn't really a dream."

   " Do you really think I..a-actually met The Moon Goddess herself?" Noah asks, his sapphire eyes looking for answers within my brown ones.

  I shrug my shoulders; I had no answer to any of Noah's questions. I mean, it's not unheard of someone dying, seeing The Moon Goddess, then coming back. But the way Noah came back...and how he says he saw both The Moon Goddess AND The God of the Night...there is something...special about it," I'll try to ask the pack elders; they might have some answers." I state, giving Noah a reassuring smile. He smiles back and snuggles even more into my chest," Now. Is there anything else that happened in your dream?"

   He ponders for a moment before replying," Umm...I saw my wolf." He answers before looking back up at me, his chin resting on my chest," You never told me how beautiful he was."

   I chuckle," Actually, I have. Everyone has, but you never listened." I state, smirking down at my lovely mate.

   A red blush dusted Noah's face as he turned his gaze away from mine," I thought you guys were just being nice..." he admitted.

   I smiled and gently grabbed Noah's chin, forcing him to look up at me," I would never lie to you Noah; you are beautiful." I said before leaning down and planting a kiss on Noah's lovely pink lips. Noah's face grows a brighter shade of red," Aww...you look so cute when you blush."

   " S-Shut up." Noah growled before burying his head in my chest.

   I chuckle and begin to pet Noah's soft black locks," Now back to the topic at hand; have you tried asking your wolf about your dream, since he was supposedly in it."

   Noah nodded," I've tried, b-but he hasn't responded." Noah replied, his voice slightly muffled by my chest.

   " Don't worry, he's probably just resting to help heal you faster." I reassure, relaxing Noah more; but worry gnawed at my stomach," Now. Let's get some more sleep my love; I'll be taking you to the pack house later, and there you will stay till you are fully recovered."

   " Okay okay..." I adjusted our positions to where we were both laying back on the small hospital bed once more. Noah snuggled closer to me, wrapping his arms around my torso, or at least tried to," I love you, James..."

   I smiled and kissed the top of my beloved's head," I love you so much, my love."

   " How much?"

   I chuckled as I secured my arms around Noah's small frame," To the moon and back."

   " Well, I love you to the sun and back." Noah stated, laying his head on my chest so that he may look at me," That means I love you more."

   I shake my head laughing," Not possible; I love you to Pluto and back."

   " I love you to the moon, sun, Pluto, and back."

   " I love you to the moon, sun, Pluto, wrap around the earth two times, then back."

   " Well, I love you to the moon, sun, Pluto, wrap around the earth TEN times, then back."

   " Noah, I love you to the stars and back, TIMES infinity; which means I automatically win, since the stars are 4.3 light years away, and infinity goes on forever."

   Noah dramatically gasped," That's unfair!"

   I chuckled before kissing Noah's forehead," Rest now, my love." I say. Noah doesn't reply and soon drifts off to sleep. I remain awake, staring up at the ceiling as I hold my sleeping mate in my arms. 

   My wolf hasn't spoken to me since the...iccident. I don't know if it's because the mate bond broke, or something else entirely, but I'm starting to worry.

   But my worries are put to rest when Noah moves a bit in his sleep. I smile and kiss Noah's head one last time before drifting to sleep myself.
