Caelum.

“Caelum?” Kael asked for the nth time in a few minutes, sounding as though he was

worried about me.

The frown creasing his eyebrows deepened when I wouldn’t respond to him and without a word, he turned and left, only returning minutes later with a young doctor standing behind him like a mini bodyguard.

But she wasn’t who I wanted to see.

She was nowhere close to the beauty that had brought me back to earth. The beauty who had promised to be here by the time I woke up..

I wanted to speak. To tell them what I needed, but no matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t get my swollen tongue to move.

I couldn’t even blink or speak because of the intense frustration I felt… and anger. And despair.

Where the fuck is Leilani?

Why the hell isn’t she here when she’s told me she would?

My eyes snagged on Kael’s and held, and as if noticing my inner turmoil, he took a step closer to the bed and whispered; “Are you okay?”

I shook my head.

“What’s wrong?” He asked, and when I wouldn’t respond instantly, he added; “Can you talk?”

The fuck I can. Goddess, I could. But my throat felt too tight. Too dry. It felt as though it was being dragged across tiled floors. Like it was being scrubbed clean with a metallic sponge.

My body shook slightly and I gulped, and when I felt a presence by the door, I like sip expectantly and asked; “Leilani?”

Kael froze.

The door pulled open and Zevran stepped in. However as soon as I saw him, my face fell even more. I frowned and snorted. “Not her!”

“Is she who you intend to see?” This time, it was Kael who asked and I had to roll my

eyes to stop myself from saying something biting to him.

His eyes roved my face as he waited for me to answer; and goddess, I wanted to. I really wanted to, but instead, I closed my eyes and sighed. “No.”

“Should I we send for Chalic-” Zevran began to say but before he could finish, I waved my hands Wizy and snapped;

“No!”

It wasn’t until I had said that that I saw the mischievous smiles on their faces and how they both looked away, snorting under their breaths. And I knew then that they had intentionally gotten under my skin… that they didn’t mean to but had said so to see my

reaction.

Anger surged through me at the thought and I turned away, my voice gravelly as I seethed; “I do not wish to speak to any of you now.”

“And who do you wish to talk to?” Kael asked playfully but from the smile on his face, I already knew that he knows.

I whispered; “Our mate.”

And with that, I closed my eyes and turned away from them, whilst wishing to return to my beautiful dreams, but no matter how hard I tried to, I failed.

-And I did… woefully.

By the time I finally woke up from my deep sleep, it was already late and the sky had already begun to set in the darkening evening sky.

I sat up slowly, still weak from the exertion my body had been forced into due to the silver in my blood.

Another thing I realized was the fact that I was still very antsy. Still very annoyed… and all of this was because I still haven’t seen Leilani yet.

Did she ever come to see me?

Will she ever forgive me?

Just as these thoughts played around my head, my door creaked open and a familiar scent filled my nostrils. It smelled of blueberry muffins and vanilla cakes… of the morning dew and sugar.

You realize how I cannot seem to find exactly what it smelled like?

That’s exactly how strange it smells but sooo mouthwatering good all the same.

I raised my head slowly, expecting to snap at whoever it was until I realized how calm my wolf had gotten. How relaxed it seemed… and hell, I no longer had that irresistible urge to murder someone.

“Leilani?” I called out softly into the dark room, and to my surprise, when the lights came on, she was standing there dressed in black leather pants and a white and black fur coat. Her hair was styled into a high ponytail, causing her striking purple eyes to gleam under the pale lights.

And fuck, she was beautiful.. she is beautiful.

So so beautiful, I almost began to think that this was another one of my dreams.

I watched her quietly as she made her way to a chair close by and sat into it, her eyes never for once leaving my face as she muttered;

“I heard you’re awake.”

“And you’re here…” It wasn’t a question, it was a statement. A statement showing just how shocked I was, because even though I had wanted to see her so much, I never expected that she would come.

“Yes,” she said slowly, “I wanted to come. I wanted to see how you’re doing and to thank you for… you know… what you did the other day.”

My throat felt glued together as I listened to her soft voice, as soft as mother’s lullaby and as gentle as the wind on a clear day. But her eyes were nothing like the way she sounded. They were cold. Hard, and devoid off any emotion.

“You’re welcome,” I answered after a moment of pause, “…but just so you know, I’ll do it over and over again as long as you get to be safe.”

At my words, she went silent. Probably not because she didn’t want to speak, but because she had no idea what to say to me. I didn’t even know exactly what I wanted her to say to me.

My hands shot out, as if to touch her and my heart sank into the base of my stomach when she reflexively shrunk deeper into her hair, successfully causing the small smile on my face to disappear. I drawled; “I’m sorry

“What for?” She asked,

“For trying to touch you.” I answered and then looked away.

Goddess, I was frustrated. My expression twisted into a look of pain that felt so raw, almost felt physical.

“Leilani, how do I ever get you to forgive me? I asked, half expecting her to not respond like she usually does.

“If I tell you that I am in love with you, will you ever believe me?” I continued, and as soon as I asked that, I heard her breath hitch.

it

She froze too, her expression becoming even more stony than it already was, and it felt as though my heart had stopped beating in that moment.

She didn’t even get to think about my words. She didn’t even seem to hesitate as she quickly rose to her feet and whispered;

“No.”

“Leilan-”

“And I don’t want you to say that to me ever again.” She continued, interrupting me without a second’s hesitation.

Her open rejection stung so bad, I felt tears burn at the corners of my eyes. But was I
