Lucious stood there rooted to a spot, his eyes still glued on the rogue girl who was glaring angrily at him.

He still couldn't believe it, she's finally awake.

Lucious blinked his eyes a couple of times, trying to be sure he wasn't imagining things but no matter how many times he blinked, he could still see her sitting on the bed staring back at him.

Lucious couldn't even explain how he felt at that moment. Just seeing her open her eyes felt like his whole life had been returned to him.

The rogue looked so beautiful as she sat there, her back leaning on the bed as she glared furiously at him.

His face pulled into a frown as he watched her put her legs on the floor, supporting her body with her hands as she tried to get off the bed.

She had barely taken a step when her whole body came crashing down.

Lucious didn't know when his heart skipped a beat as he saw her about to fall to the ground.

Without thinking, Lucious feet rushed forward catching her just in time before she hits the floor.

The rogue girl ended up falling straight into his arms as Lucious' strong hands held her by the waist.

Lucious stared into the innocent blue eyes that were staring back at him.

" Be careful" He breathed out forcing the girl in his hands to jerk away.

She tried walking again. This time she managed to take a few steps before her knees finally gave way, forcing her whole body to crash to the ground.

Alarmed, Lucious rushed forward to hold her as he tried to help her up. The girl furiously shakes his hands off her body pushing him away before she tried to get up once more.

This small action made Lucious' wolf whined , watching how she glared at him, hatred evident in her eyes.

The girl attempted to stand up once more but instead, fell back into Lucious' waiting arms.

Lucious couldn't help but let out a small smirk as he saw all the girl's attempt to get away from him fail.

Without warning, he quickly picked her up, carrying her bridal style as he walked to the bed. The girl hit his chest over and over again trying to get him to drop her but he paid no need to her.

" Raphael send Dayna to my room right now!" He mind–linked his beta.

The rogue girl still squirmed and wriggled in his arms furiously but he doesn't let go till he reached her bed.

" Your wolf is still weak" Lucious said frowning his face at the struggling girl in his arms.

" So just stop this and wait till you fully recover before you even think of running away from here !" He yelled sternly, his harsh tone made the girl stop moving immediately.

" Good" He said as he puts her down gently on the bed.

Lucious looked at her for a while before he walked out of the room, closing the door behind him.

He didn't even bother locking the room again because he knew the rogue girl was too weak to even walk, let alone run away.

Minutes later, Lucious returned to the room with a clean glass of water in his hands. He took long strides across the room as he walked towards the rogue's bed.

Reaching the bed, he handed the glass over to the rogue who seemed deep in thought.

" Here " He said quietly as he stretched his hands towards her.

The rogue girl looked at the cup in his hands before slowly looking up at him, a questionable look on her face.

" Drink some water..." He said looking down at the girl below him.

" You've been out for days and you haven't eaten anything, you must be really thirsty. Drink this." He repeated urging her to take the cup from him.

The girl sat there, staring at him with a blank expression on her face.

" You don't want water ?" He asked thinking " i'll have something else prepared for you if you're hungry?" Lucious asked surprising himself.

Since when did he start caring for other women?

And openly too?

The rogue still doesn't reply him but she extends her hands slowly , taking the cup of water from him.

She looked at him briefly before turning her attention to the cup , gently taking a sip.

Lucious stood there watching with amusement in his eyes as the rogue gulped down the whole glass , some of the water dripping down the sides of her mouth as she drank the water in a rush.

He knew she had to be thirty to say the least, but he didn't know she could finish one whole glass in just one go.

' Who really is this girl? ' Lucious wondered in his mind.

============

" She still can't talk ?? " Lucious frowned repeating what the healer had just said.

After the rogue had woken up, he had asked his beta to send the pack healer to his home.

He stood by the rogue , who was sulking silently while the healer attended to her. Luckily, she didn't create any drama as she let the healer do her job.

Dayna told the Alpha the girl's condition had improved drastically. Even she was shocked that she was able to recover so fast. But she still hadn't gotten her voice back.

" Yes Alpha, I... I think she's lost her voice for good. I'm sorry" The healer apologized quickly.

Lucious stood there speechless, he didn't even know what to say.

His eyes darted over to the rogue still sitting on the bed looking at him with sad eyes.

Returning his eyes to Dayna, he asked " Isn't there anything we can do?"

Dayna shook her head indicating no. She too didn't think the rogue girl could ever regained her voice.

" The damage to her vocals was pretty severe Alpha, I don't think she might be able to talk again. Except for a miracle, the girl would be mute for the rest of her life."

==============

Haven watched as the man who tried to kill her and another woman who Haven figured to be a pack healer, talk about something in hushed tones.

Haven knew the two were obviously talking about her as they occasionally glanced at her while talking .

Haven rolled her eyes. They do know that she could hear them even from such a distance right?

Apart from seeing in the dark, Werewolves also had excellent hearing abilities so obviously Haven heard what ever it was they were discussing.

Haven didn't even pay much attention to what they were talking about till she heard the next thing the woman said to the " so called Alpha".

" Alpha, I think she's lost her voice" The woman said quickly glancing at her making Haven to frown a bit.

What was she talking about?

Haven looked over to see the Alpha frown his face as he replied her.

" What do you mean she still hasn't gotten her voice back yet? Isn't there anything we can do? " She heard him ask her.

Haven's frown grew deeper.

What were they talking about? Lost her voice?

Now that she thought of it, she hasn't really said a word for as long as she could remember.

Haven cleared her throat and opened her mouth to say something but no sound came out.

Shocked, She tried again but still nothing came out.

Alarmed, she screamed hoping at least she'd hear that but no single sound came out. She panicked, turning over to see the Alpha looking at her, a sad look In his eyes.
