They kept me at the hospital for three days, and they ran a number of tests on me but could not determine what was wrong. Cahir sent a message to the temple and they asked me to come see the high. priestess.

When the doctors tried and tried some more without finding any solution to my sickness, they had to let me go. As at then, I’d already become a shadow of myself. Cahir had to hold me up when they discharged me. He’d have lifted me princess–style and carried me to the car if I hadn’t protested.

“I haven’t used my legs in so long.” I sighed when he put his hand around my waist as he tried to lift me. “I can at least walk to the car. I am not lame,” I mumbled.

“Are you sure you can walk?” My mate asked, clutching my waist.

I was the sick one but Cahir looked almost as bad as I did. His usually neatly trimmed beards were now all over the place, his hair was overgrown, his skin pallid and his frame noticeably smaller. He’d lost weight, lost his colour and discarded his grooming routine.

“A little support wouldn’t hurt,” I said, tired already after less than ten steps, but I was determined to not become handicapped by this strange illness.

Tell me if you get tired, okay?” Cahir admonished. I nodded, putting my hand around his waist and leaning into him as he led me out of the hospital with Laura following behind us.

A good number of people had come to visit me in the hospital, including Sam who was convinced his bad behaviour caused my illness. I still couldn’t wrap my head around how he got to that conclusion.

We

got into the car and rode home. Leaning against Cahir, I closed my eyes and yawned. The indescribable heat of a few days ago subsided yesterday and my temperature also dropped. I felt a lot better than I did when this whole ordeal started but my body still felt heavy. I was weak and tired but I was sure that if I slept in my own bed and breathed something other than the stale hospital air, I would get

better.

Cahir played with my hair, hugging me tightly to himself. I sighed in contentment. My mate’s arms were the safest place for me.

“Are you awake?” He whispered against my hair.

“Yeah,” I answered. I slept a lot these days and I had a series of bizarre dreams that only stopped yesterday.

The doctor said my high fever may be the cause but a small part of me didn’t believe it. In every dream. there had been a wolf pouncing on mine. At first, I had been scared of this wolf as it moved with grace a speed but after a while, I realized the wolf never actually hurt me. It was just a wolf that liked to play roughly.

“You can sleep if you want. I’ll wake you when we get home,” Cahir murmured.

“I’m not sleepy.” Sure I was tired but it was more of a reaction to not doing anything for three days than a lack of sleep.

“How are you feeling?” He asked.

My mate had become the most caring person on the planet since I collapsed. He’d never paid as much. attention to me as he did now. He watched my every move and before I voiced out my needs, he made sure they had been met. Every morning he helped me wash, he combed my hair and put it in a ponytail and despite my protest, he fed me every meal I ate in the hospital, which wasn’t much since I still hadn’t worked up an appetite.

“Glad to be going home,” I muttered. “I hate hospitals.

“You should have said so,” he mumbled.

“Then you’d have made a fuss and moved the whole hospital ward to our home,” I said with a snort, putting my arms around his neck. “We already stressed the doctors enough.”

“What did they do?” He sneered, anger sizzling beneath his tone. “They couldn’t even find out what’s wrong with you.”

They tried their best.” I sighed, thinking of all the times Cahir almost made the doctors piss their knickers.

“I pay those bastards –“I pressed my lips against his in a lazy kiss before he could go off on a long rant cursing out the doctors.

I hadn’t heard Cahir talk as much as he had in the three days I had been in the hospital. It was as if he was

go off. I a ticking time bomb waiting for one of the medical staff to say something that would make him pitied the doctor in charge of my case. He must have prayed harder than I did for me to get better so Cahir could get the hell out of the hospital.

“Don’t be mad.” I placed a chaste kiss on his lips again before going back to resting my head on his shoulder. Tension tightened his body after such a simple kiss but I pretended not to feel his body coil.”

“I can take a bath alone,” I said for the fourth time. “Cahir, please I started, feeling my energy deplete. “I’ve had people hovering around me for the past three days. All I want now is to soak in a bath alone for at least ten minutes.” He pressed his lips together with narrowed eyes. “Please,” I added before he got the chance to reject my request,

“Is it –”

“Irene already prepared the bath. Please, let me have some privacy even if its just for a minute. Having people hovering around me all the time is driving me insane.” He didn’t say a word but I felt his reluctance, saw it in the way he crossed his arms and pressed his lips together.

“Fine. I’ll time

you. My eyes lit up and a bit of the fatigue weighing me down lifted.

“Really? Thank you!” I rose on my tiptoes to kiss his cheek before rushing into the bathroom.

“Don’t run!” He exclaimed as I rushed away.

“I won’t!” I called, already in the bathroom. Closing the door behind me, I let out a sigh while leaning on the door and taking a deep breath.

Unused to having people peering into my face and hovering around me all the time, I felt weird these days. It may sound silly but I felt like they were treating me like someone on her deathbed. The attention had been heartwarming at first but they soon became a nuisance. Guilt filled my heart when I thought

how rudely I was dismissing their care and worry but I felt suffocated.

“What are you doing?” I jumped away from the door. My body reacted to Cahir’s voice which sounded as if it was right against my ear. He must be leaning against the door like me.

“Taking off my clothes,” I called back in a falsely cheery tone. “No, I don’t need your help!” I shouted before he offered.

We’d been home for two hours now and I felt a bit better after having warm soup prepared by the amazing chef of the Alpha Castle. I could take off my own clothes.

Taking off my clothes and getting into the bath, I sighed in relief. No matter how luxurious my ward in the hospital was, it didn’t compare to the room I shared with Cahir. The bath was warm and scented, relaxing my muscles almost instantly. I moaned in satisfaction.

“Ah, this is perfect.”

Oops, spoke too soon.

It would have been perfect if my washcloth wasn’t still hanging where I dried it while I got comfortable in my warm rose–scented bath.

“If only I reached out my hand to it, hating that I would either have to get out of the bath or call Cahir to hand it over to me after which he would refuse to leave the bathroom. “Why are you so far away.” I reached out longing hands to the washcloth.

I had a dizzying spell for a split second and it felt like my head had been submerged in water and as I blinked my eyes, the washcloth which had been hanging out of reach was now in my hands.

A scream lodged in my throat.
