The Alpha Who Saved Me
Chapter 159

Chapter 9

Ledger

I hear hushed voices all around me but it's dark. I know my lids are closed and each time I try to open them, nothing happens. Between trying to figure out what's going on and trying to open my eyes, I don't pay too much attention to what is being said, but maybe I should, because I don't know what the hell is going on. I can make out little words like mate and something about hunting, but honestly, everything is making my head hurt, so I go back to trying to zone it all out.

After what seems like hours and a nice nap that I was finally able to take once the headache disappeared, I hear the same voices as before. Only this time, I feel different, I can feel my eyes moving rapidly as I try to lift my lids, and to my relief, they open. I stare up at a white ceiling for only a moment because an alluring scent grabs my attention. I glance in the direction that the scent is coming from and see two people standing there, grinning as they stare at me. I've never met this male and female, at least I don't think I have, but they are two of the most beautiful people that I have ever seen. I mean, even my cock stirs just looking at them, and I've never known myself to be attracted to males.

I furrow my brows momentarily because now that I'm thinking about it, I'm not even sure if that is true. I glance back at the two people, not bothering to look at the others in the room, "Where..." I cough, and the woman jumps to grab a cup from the table beside the bed I'm in. She holds it to my lips and when I bring my hand up and accidentally touch her hand, sparks shoot through me, and I end up staring wide eyed at her.

I finish drinking the water that she offers and try again, "Where am I?" I croak out.

"You are in the hospital," the woman states, watching me with concern in her beautiful brown eyes, "Do you remember anything?"

I try to think past the softness of her voice, along with her warm eyes and hair that hangs in golden waves down her back, but I can't seem to remember how I would have landed myself in the hospital. I slowly shake my head and then the male steps up beside her and lays his hand on my arm. I feel the same sparks that I had felt when I touched the woman just a moment ago. His eyes are as blue as the ocean and his hair is similar in color to the woman's, but I don't feel as though they are related, at least not in the way one would think.

"Do you remember you name?" The male asks with just as much concern as the female.

I go to nod and tell them but for the life of me, I can't think of what it is. I try to think about other things, like my age and where I came from, but none of it comes to me. My eyes sweep the room to see if I recognize anything, and that's when I see another couple standing at the end of the bed and another male on the other side of the bed, this one wearing a long white coat.

"Why can't I remember anything?" I ask no one in particular.

The male in the white coat answers, "I was afraid this may happen. You had a pretty nasty gash on your head, along with a lot of blood loss, so I'm not surprised by the amnesia." "But we gave him our blood! It should have worked!" The beautiful woman says anxiously.

"You have to understand, Cici, sometimes the blood only helps with so much. Every injury is different."

So, her name is Cici...cute. I glance at the guy and just as I'm wondering what his name is, she continues to speak, which is fine because I'm loving the sound of her voice.

"What is Spencer and I supposed to do if our mate doesn't even know who he is? How are we supposed to bond with each other?" She places her hand on my arm once again, and I close my eyes, savoring the feel of both Cici and Spencer's touch. It seems to calm me.

"You need to calm down, Cici." I open my eyes to see the other woman giving her a look of concern, "Just give him time, he just woke up."

This seems to calm Cici down a little bit as she nods and then glances back down at me, "I know you're confused, but Spencer and I will help you in any way we can, as long as you want the help."

I'm not sure what I want but I do know that I want to spend as much time with this male and female as much as possible, "Can I have a word with the two of you...alone?" I wait as they glance at the others and back at me and nod.

"We will be right outside." The male that is standing at the end of the bed with the woman looks straight at me with his jaw clenched tight. It's almost seems as though he isn't happy to be leaving them alone with me.

Once it's just the three of us, I sigh, "I'm sorry, it's just a little. overwhelming to be in a room full of people that I don't know or don't remember at the moment. The three of us must know each other, right? I feel some kind of connection to the two of you, so tell me, who the hell am I?"

They both look at one another and then go and sit in the chairs beside the bed, but I don't want them farther away, "No, please, sit beside me."

They smile warmly at me and then the mattress dips down as they both sit. Spencer places his hand on my thigh and Cici takes my hand to hold. It feels normal, the three of us like this, and so I sigh and let myself relax.

"Your name is Ledger Hastings, does that ring a bell?" Cici asks and I shake my head. Nothing about it sounds familiar.

"You are the son of the head of the Shikari, and you are from another country." Spencer continues with the next bit of information.

"What is the Shikari, and what country is it that I come from?" They both seem a bit hesitant to say anything and my now relaxed body is becoming tensed once again the longer they wait to reply.

"Ledger," Cici's melodic voice reaches my ears, "We don't really know who you are because we have never met you."

"What do you mean, you don't really know me? I can feel it, there is some kind of connection between the three of us."

"That's because we are fated mates." Spencer informs me, whatever that means, "It means that the Goddess Selene connected our souls together. We are meant to be with one another." He explains some.

"Who is the Goddess Selene?"

Cici smiles at me, and I swear, it lights up the whole room, "She's the one who created werewolves."

"Excuse me? Did you just say werewolves? Like the kind that can change back and forth between human and wolves?"

"Yes, most anyway, but some don't have the shifter gene, so they can't change, like you." Spencer answers my question this time.

"Wait a minute, you're telling me that I'm a werewolf, but I can't change into one?" This is getting a bit creepy. Maybe I don't want to know who these people are!

"We don't know all the answers for you, but we do know that you also have witch blood in you, which is what the Shikari are... they also hunt werewolves."

It's Cici that is now looking like she's about to freak out, scared of telling me what they know of my life. I hate seeing that look on her face, and even though everything they are telling me is creeping me out, my urge to be with them is so much stronger.

"How can I be a werewolf and a hunter that hunts them? Okay, you know what? This is a lot to take in, maybe we should take a break from that part for now.' I squeeze her hand and look between her and Spencer, "How about instead, you two explain to me how this whole fated mate thing works." I grin as a certain part of my body begins to stir at the thought.

How do you suppose this is going to go with him not knowing who he is and being wary about being a werewolf?
