Chapter 152


    The sun was shining through the window and I felt the warmth on my skin. The light hurt my eyes, and I slowly turned my face away from it to shield my eyes.


    I was exhausted. Every muscle in my body hurt and every single bone felt like it had cracked. My limbs were sore, my joints cracking, and my skin felt hot


    I was sweating and my throat was parched. I tried to wake myself up, but my eyes did not want to open. They felt like they weighed a ton.


    But when I forced my eyelids to flutter open, I realized that I was not in a familiar ce. It was all in white and dull.


    <b>I </b>could vaguely make out the white curtain blowing in the soft breeze and the pale windows. My <b>eyes </b>slowly roamed through the space <b>and </b>then I noticed the huge bulky frame sitting in front of me,


    My eyes tried to focus on the figure, to tell who it was… and then I <b>saw </b>the <b>blue </b>eyes. Eyes that made me breathless, and nervous. But this time they were staring intently at me coldly.


    For a second<b>, </b>I wished <b>that </b>I had returned to my previous life where everything was simple between us.


    “I knew you would always find an escape,” he said, his tone <b>was </b>filled with a hint of mockery.


    Trying my best to not let exhaustion wash over me <b>again</b>, I opened my eyes <b>and </b>pushed <b>myself </b>up on my elbows in a sitting position


    “Why is it so easy to rile you up?” He asked <b>and </b>I decided to ignore him. My mouth felt dry and rough.


    I looked around for water and he seemed to have sensed it, for he slowly, purposefully got up from the chair. Eros reached <b>for </b>the jar of water ced on the bedside table and poured into the ss.


    He handed it <b>to </b>me, and I grabbed the ss and drank it.


    “Take <b>it </b>slow” He cautioned but my throat was burning as were my insides.


    “More,” I begged, and he held the water jar above my ss, but with unsteady hands I reached for the jar and put it straight to my lips. After drinking it all, and almost spilling a good amount on myself, I was done.


    He shook his head subtly and <b>took </b>the jar away from my hands as I wiped my mouth with the back of my sleeve.


    The water helped a little. Though my head was still hurting, I could look around with better rity. “Where am I?”


    Eros replied, “At a hospital. I don’t need to tell you why, right?”


    I ced my hands on my temples as another wave of pain coursed through my head. Memories came back to me in bits and pieces.


    Sand, arena, Shauna shoving me to the ground. I had won the trials and passed out due to exhaustion of taking a man twice my size for the first time.


    Eros sat in front of me, looking me dead in the eye “I take it that you thought engagin in the trial was going to be a glorious adventure, and so you set off on without my permission. I don’t think I have it in me to keep asking why you keep doing stuff I <b>don’t </b>want you to. So, instead, I will ask, what do you want?” I blinked.


    His tone was mix of being <b>calm </b>and angry, I didn’t want to push my luck <b>so </b><b>i </b>just said “Shower”


    “What?” He asked with a baffled look.


    “Shower and food,” I said, and at that exact moment, my stomach rumbled loudly.


    I expected Eros to <b>grow </b>angry, but instead a chuckle escaped his lips. The chuckle turned into full blownughter as he clutched his stomach with his hands.


    “You want <b>food</b>, and to shower!” He <b>said</b><b>, </b><b>standing </b>from the chair and raking a hand through <b>his </b>hair. I looked up at him warily and hesitated to smile, but seeing himugh made me feel better. Exclusive content from N?velDrama.Org.

    Chapter 12


    I stared at him stupidly, until he banged a hand on the back of the chair, startling me. In a second, he turned around and was upon me. His face was inches from mine as he asked,


    “Do you have any idea how risky it was for you yesterday?”


    “Yesterday?” I looked at him in confusion, and he nodded his head.


    “Yes. yesterday. You were passed out for almost twelve hours. And you had not eaten anything before you decided to be flung yourself in the arena.”


    “But I had breakfast. I added meekly.


    “You had breakfast? The doctor told me you had eaten almost nothing for the entire day and yet you trained for hours, and then fought, and fought with <b>a </b>man


    He looked at me curiously and I did not think “Your mate from another life” would satisfy him as an answer.


    So I muttered “I am… your pack member.”


    “I was in a very important meeting, so I had given specific instructions to my men to keep an eye on you. But neither seemed to mind that you not just disrespected my word, but worked against it.


    “They are <b>not </b>at fault. I asked <b>Arthur </b>about the rules. The trials were held for newly awakened in thisnd and I am one.”


    Eros rubbed his temple with his forefinger, snapping at me again, “Yes, rules that you found a loophole from to show just how you don’t respect me.


    “Sorry” I meekly replied.


    “You don’t get to always wriggle out with a <b>sorry</b>. No, I am done being lenient with you.” My eyes went to the trophy that was. ced on the bedside table. I was supposed to get a reward from him.


    Maybe this was my reward. getting yelled at by him. Eros was soplicated.


    He noticed the way my eyes were staring at the trophy, he sighed deeply, rubbing his temples “Well, now you want your reward Go ahead, ask for it.
