Selene never came back to me and I heard everything that happened around me non–stop now. I know I was back home in my own bed. The scent of Griffin surrounded me. I wanted so badly to open my eyes. But I couldn’t, I had no idea how to get into my own body again. I had tried to shout for Selene, to beg for her, and to cry. Nothing helped, she ignored
When I noticed another day had passed on earth, I decided to give up on trying to get Selene’s help. The rustling of the sheets I heard signaled that Griffin was getting up. Soon after I could smell fresh coffee.
“I made you your morning coffee my love, so all you have to do is wake up,” Griffin told me.
Over what had been the last day on earth, I have heard him beg me, try to act casual, make me promise. And now challenging me just to get me to wake up. Only this time I even felt the bed tip under the weight of Griffin sitting back in the bed with me. Desperate I tried to open my eyes so that I could finally see my wonderful mate again.
Harsh light blinded me, forcing my eyes shut immediately. Still, I had managed to, because I soon as I opened my eyes it felt like I fell. Like that feeling, you have when you are about to fall asleep and it feels like you fall.
“Darling are you awake, did I really see you open your eyes” There was an urgency to Griffin’s voice.
“Lights” I mumbled, my throat feeling like it was burning.
It caused a coughing fit, and with every cough, it felt as if my brain had come loose and was now bumping around against my skull. Giving me a terrible headache. Even the scraping of the curtain over the metal rod made me flinch in pain.
“The curtains are closed, Darling can you please look at me?”
Opening my eyes again is a struggle and everything hurts. But I am so happy to be able to see Griffin’s face again.
Where I had no pain and no issues with moving my body when I was in the heavenly valley, now I struggled to lift my hand to stroke Griffin’s cheek. Seeing my struggle and knowing me better than anyone else, he took my hand in his. And he placed it against his cheek before leaning
“I missed you so much my love how are you feeling?” He mumbled into the palm of my hand.
I meant to say that I was feeling bad, but that I was happy to be back with him. But as I listened to myself I only managed to get out

“Bad…. back you” Before getting another coughing fit.
“Take it easy Darling I will get the doctor to come over right away” I sensed he was mindliking someone he was still holding my hand that was now resting on the bed. I closed my eyes careful not to fall back asleep. Scared I wouldn’t be able to get back to him again.
Griffin must share the same fear, as he keeps talking to me stroking my hair. Asking me yes and no questions so I can answer with a single word. Everything he does is keeping me awake and I am sure he is doing it on purpose.
“Are you sure the Princess has woken up Prince Griffin” I recognize this voice it is one of the pack doctors.
“Yes… he…I…” I cough and stutter, unable to tell the doctor he is sure because I am still awake.
“Don’t speak Princess Ayla, the breathing tube has damaged your throat. I am so happy you’re back with us. Can I check up on you” She asks.
Following her advice. I just nod, and I close my eyes again because keeping them open still takes too much out of me.
