my sister doesn't stay with me when I'm sick. I don't like people watching me throw up.”
“You are just going to have to accept the fact we aren't going anywhere Melissa,” Damian stated firmly.
Right after, she retched again.
After the nausea had passed, Melissa tried to get to her feet. Damian and Luke helped her up by taking hold of her elbows. When she was on her feet once more, Luke pulled her against his warm, hard masculine chest so she 8
had something to lean on and would not topple to the floor.
Damian took one of the clean face cloths from the top of the vanity, after wetting it with warm water he wiped Melissa face and neck. Taking the clean glass from the counter, Damian filled it with cold water handing it to Melissa so she could rinse her mouth. When they were done, Luke scooped Melissa up into his arms, taking her back to the room and set her on the bed gently and carefully.
“I think you would be more comfortable out of these clothes and under the covers Melissa. Do you want some help to take them off?” Luke asked with concern as he looked at her pale white face.
Melissa didn't answer as she drifted into unconsciousness once more.
Luke and Damian removed her clothes until she was left in her bra and panties. Luke picked her up while Damian pulled back the covers on the bed. Luke gently placed Melissa on the sheet. Both the men tucked the covers around her body making sure she was kept warm and comfortable.
“God look at her, she is fucking gorgeous. You know who she is don't you Luke?” Damian asked his brother using their mental link.
“Yeah I do. I could kick myself for hurting our mate like that. If I had not been in such a hurry, I would have smelled her scent before we even got to the door. We have to keep her with us Damian. We cannot let her. We have waited too long as it is to meet our mate and I had to screw everything up by knocking her over. Do you think she'll forgive me?”
“I don't think she is the type of woman to hold a grudge Luke. She knows it was an accident; that you didn't hurt her on purpose. We will have to give her time to get to know us first before we can claim her. If we force her to accept us the way our Alpha and his brothers did with their 9
mate, we could end up pushing her away from us. We are going to have to take this slowly Luke. One day at a time,”
Damian advised.
Doc Jonas arrived a few moments later to check over their mate. After he had examined Melissa, he took a seat on the sofa and faced the two weres.
“Melissa is going to be fine. She has a concussion and needs to be watched closely for the next twenty-four to forty-eight hours; you need to keep her fluids up. I want you to wake her every hour for the next eight hours and then every two hours after that for the next eight hours. If you have any concerns at all, or if she starts vomiting again, give me a call straight away. I think the nausea has passed though,” Doc Jonas advised.
“We were going to take her back to our cabin with us so we could keep and eye on her. Do you think it's okay if we move her Doc?” Luke asked.
“Yes you can, if you are very careful. Just make sure she is kept warm and comfortable on the journey.”

“Melissa honey, wake up. You need to have a sip of water.”
Melissa stirred as a masculine voice spoke in her ear while a large gentle hand lifted her head and shoulders to a half sitting position. Groaning at the pounding in her head, she took several small sips of cool water from a glass.
She didn't know who was speaking to her, but was relieved as the cool water slid down her dry sore throat.
When the hands settled her back against the pillows, darkness enveloped her again.
The next time she was roused from sleep, she was being held against a warm masculine body, hard thighs were under her buttocks and she was cradled against a warm wide chest.
