Chapter 23

It has been 3 days since we found Timber and brought her back home. She still has not completely recovered from the ordeal as she’s been sleeping since she’s returned. The men and pack were overjoyed to have their Luna back, even if we have not had the ceremony yet. They have all accepted her as their Luna and that brought such joy to my soul.

The pack doctor said the wolfsbane should be completely gone from her system soon and the silver burns on her wrists are completely healed now. Bane has been driving me crazy wanting to be with her, but he was excited when he saw her wrists fully healed, knowing Karin was recovering too.

Magda kept a good eye on her and would bring broth and water for her to drink when she could get her to. It pained Magda to see her like this, but she was grateful to have her friend and Luna back as were I.

I spent most of my time with her if I was not in my office doing pack business. I was thankful for Magda because she would stay with her when I couldn’t. That made going to work easier. Thinking of what she’s done for Timber always brings a smile to my face.

I left my office and started walking towards our bedroom. “Alpha loves you, you know.” I heard Magda talking to Timber. I slowed my pace and stopped outside to listen further. “I have not seen him this happy in many years. Please dear child wake up soon. He doesn’t say, but his heart breaks seeing you like this.” I could hear the sadness in her words.

It sounded like she was changing her covers and cleaning her up as she busied herself in our room. Talking out loud hoping Timber would hear and wake up to talk with her.

“Magda?” I heard a soft whisper voice say. My eyes grew wide as my mouth fell open. “Is that you Magda?” I let out a breath I didn’t realize I myself was holding. She’s awake! My love. My Luna. My queen was awake!! I could hardly believe my ears. And not just awake but talking… A.W.Ake. My heart thumped and leaped in my chest.

“Yes, child it is me. How are you feeling?” she responded with joy in her voice. “I’m feeling much better thank you. How long have I been here? Have I been out?” unsure of the time frame since being kidnapped and then rescued she needed to know.

“Alpha Johnathon and the warriors rescued you 3 days ago from Kronin. You’ve been asleep in the bed since then.” I could hear a slight sadness on the last part as she sighed.

“3 days!?!” I heard Timber try to sit up in shock and disbelief it's been that long since she’s been rescued. “Lay back down Luna. Alpha Johnathon will be back shortly. Please save your strength.” She said as she gently pushed Timber back onto the bed and lifted the covers back up to her chest.

I smiled at the thought of Magda being a motherly figure to her and Timber being too weak to do otherwise. I crossed my arms over my chest and just grinned like a fool in the hallway. “I know you’re out there Alpha. She’s awake, come on in and see your Luna.” Magda said over her shoulder as she was tending to Timber smirking at my eavesdropping self.

“I’ll leave you two to it then. I am very glad you are awake and well now Luna. Please let me know if there is anything you need.” With a twinkle in her eye and smile on her face she said this and nodded to me as she left the room closing the door behind her.

Timber’s eyes lit up as she saw me walk into the room. My heart filled with so much warmth and love I couldn’t help but smile like a lovesick puppy. “How are you feeling my love?” slowly walking towards the bed taking off my shoes.

“Like I’ve been run over by a truck. But much better now that you’re here with me.” She said, smiling and blushing as she turned her head slightly downward.

I climbed into bed with her, placing my arm around her shoulders and pulling her closer to me as she laid her head on my shoulder. My life is now complete. I couldn’t ask for anything more than this. “Thank you for rescuing me from Kronin, Johnathon.” As she looked up to see my face and eyes. I looked down to her and smiled gently saying “anything for you my love. I’m just so sorry it took me so long to get to you.” I said as I kissed her on the forehead.

“But you found me. And that’s all that matters now.” Smiling back at me. I leaned down as she reached up, and I placed a gentle kiss on her lips. Her Left arm raised and wrapped around my neck with her hand.

“I love you Timber.” I said in her mouth “I love you too Johnathon.” Kissing her again with more passion than the first one. Blue energy surrounded us again and we fell into the night with a serene, passionate, love making reunion.
