minutes before another nurse is sitting next to your fiancé, monitoring her vital signs,” the nurse stated as she closed the curtains behind her.
Nik didn't stop to think he just acted. He let his canine teeth lengthen and tore a small cut into his wrist with one tooth. He opened Meg's mouth with his other hand and placed his wrist at her mouth and let a couple of drops of his blood, fall between her lips. He massaged her throat trying to get he to swallow by reflex and gave a sigh when she did. He leaned down and kissed her lips, nicking her lower lip with his longer eye tooth and tasted her blood. He licked the blood from her lip and sat down in the chair at her side once more. He hoped and prayed he had given her enough of his blood for the change to take place.
Chapter Nine
Megan became aware of the large warm hand holding hers in a light clasp. She could hear a beeping and wondered what was going on. She pried her heavy eyelids open, blinked a few times, until her vision cleared and looked over to see Nik asleep in a chair, his head resting on the side of the side of the bed. She slowly withdrew her hand from his and ran her fingers through his black, silky hair. She didn't stop her hand from moving over his head, through his hair ,as the nurse at her side stood and smiled at her as she took notes of her vital signs.
“You're looking so much better today. I'm glad you're finally awake,” the nurse stated with a smile a gave her hand a pat. “I'll be back soon, I'm just going for a coffee. If you need me, just push the button on the end of this cord.”
Megan gave a nod and smiled at the nurse and watched her leave. She continued to stroke Nik's head and hair until she felt him tense. She moved her hand to the side of his face and watched as he sat up, slowly. When he saw Megan's eyes open looking at him, a slow smile spread across his face. He stood up and kissed her gently on the lips.
“How are you feeling, sweetheart?”
“I am actually feeling really well,” Megan stated, surprise evident in her voice. “Other than feeling a little sore and bruised, I feel astoundingly well.”
“I am so glad. You scared me, Megan. I thought you were going to die. Don't you ever do anything like that again. I wanted to protect you, I told you I cannot die easily. Why did you put yourself in front of a bullet meant for me?”
“Because I love you, Nik. I didn't want you to get hurt; and in the situation Nadia had us in, you're healing abilities were the last thing on my mind. I couldn't bear to see you hurt.”
“Ah, sweetheart. You've made me so happy. I love you, too,” Nik reiterated. He then took Megan's hand in his and knelt down next to the bed.
“Megan, you are the air I breathe, my heart and soul. Would you do the honor of marrying me?” Megan felt her eyes prickle, then tears of joy coursed down her cheeks as she gripped his hand.
“Yes, Nik. I would love to be your wife. You are my heart and soul. I want to have children with you and grow old with you.”
Nik stood to his feet and climbed up on the bed beside Megan. He scooped her into his arms, being careful not to hurt her, or move any of the wires attached to her; and cuddled her close. He stared down into her eyes and slowly lowered his head to hers. He took her mouth in a slow tender kiss, expressing all his love for his mate. He would have kept on kissing her, if it wasn't for someone clearing their throat at the end of her hospital bed.
“I'm glad to see you finally awake, Megan. You had us worried there for a while. If you would allow me to check Megan over, Nik. Why don't you go and get a cup of coffee and something to eat. I should be done by the time you get back; and take all those people in the waiting room with you. They're starting to make my hospital look untidy,” Doc stated with a grin.
