 “Are you ready? Much slower this time. I promise.”

 I look her in the eyes. As much as I don’t want to try again I nod. The pain has subsided after all.

 “Just be still, there’s a few things I need to do with your IV before we start trying to get a shirt on you.”

 I nod as Iy my head back. I space out as I watch the television, the volume is too low to understand what the people are saying which makes it easier to hear the clicks and snaps of what she’s doing with the IV. I know I’m flinching each time I hear something creating the intense desire to apologize each time I do.

 “Try to rx. I’m going to put a special sleeve over the tubing so it doesn’t move around. Then we can get your gown off and a regr shirt on. Are you sure you want to stay in long sleeves?” 

 “Yes ma’am. I’m morefortable with long sleeves in the winter.”

 I watch as she stretches a tube of gauze over my hand and slides it gently over the tubing left after she disconnected the saline setup. I sit up off the back of the bed as Dr. Pierce moves towards my back, struggling to bite back my whimpers as I do. She ces her hand t on my chest, I let go of the breath I didn’t realize I was holding.

 “Stay like you are. I want to listen to your heart and lungs.”

 She exins as she unties and removes the gown from around

 my neck.

 “Holding your breath when it hurts makes your muscles tense and causes you more pain.”

 She whispers gently beside my ear as she changes locations from my chest to my back.

 “It’s okay to let us know it hurts.” 

 I nod as I move myself to the edge of the bed just as alpha steps over with

 my

 shirt.

 “I need you to guide me with what you need Cole. I know you’re hurt and I don’t want to cause you any pain with something so basic.”

 I nod my head slowly.

 “If you could get it over my head I think I can get the rest.”

 He bunches the shirt into his hands, stretching the shirt at the neck before sliding it over my head. I reach up towards the sleeve only to find it tangled and difficult to work with. I keep at it, refusing to admit to the level of pain that I’m in, until my left arm finally slides through. I’m panting hard with a noticeable whine behind it as my ribs screany from so much movement. I move my right arm next, yelping when alpha’s hand touches mine.

 “Rest a moment, Cole. You go that rough with the IV in and you may rip it out. Although you did extremely well with it, it was still a rough go for you this morning.”

 I shake my head no even though 1 very much am.

 “I’m not certain why I’m shaking so bad.”

 I finally manage to whisper.

 “Are you certain you want to go out to the table? I can bring your food in here. That’s not any problem for me and looks like it would be a lot easier on you.”

 I shake my head and as hard as I fight against telling this alpha any more than I have my mouth betrays me.

 “I need to see where ites from. I don’t know why luna’s soup is different for me but the rest of it. I need to get it myself or see where ites from
