My Second Chance

Ryder's P.O.V

I carried her up the stairs with ease. She weighs like a feather.

I walked softly, making no noise against the ground to avoid waking the perfect angel in my arms. I opened the room with my elbows and foot. It wasn't as easy as I thought. I hope nobody saw it, it isn't one of my brightest moment.

Don't judge.

I laid her down on the bed. Not bothering about the dirt. I stared at her wounds and her bloody hair. I'm going to kill Alec for hurting her, Jay growled. I know. But he was just doing his job, we can't blame him, I answered. I felt anger for Alec, but it wasn't his fault. I opened a drawer from my bedside table and got out the first aid kit. I dabbed at her wounds with some disinfection. She winced in her sleep. I cleaned her wounds gently, trying my best to not hurt her.

blue eyes open. "Ryder?" She asked shakingly. "I'm here baby, I'm here." I

am I?" She croaked, her voice still rusty from all the crying she did. "You're in my room..." I whispered. She nodded her head. "Are you okay?" I asked, rubbing circles on her arms. She shuddered and I smirked at the effect I have on her. "I'm okay."

a towel, and umm... my bags..." she smiled sheepishly. "Oh yeah, wait a minute." I said and mind linked Alec. Hey, I called. Mmppph? Came Alec's muffled voice. Get your fat ass up, I smirked at him. Hey, I'm still your friend you know, he groaned. And you're doing this as Beta, I grinned. I could feel him jump out of bed. What do you need Alpha? He asked in a mocking voice.
