Chapter 143

    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 me.


    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 Grillin 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 thest 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 Grillin’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. hade 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 ced it against his check before. leaning in.


    “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 toe 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… h o……” I cough and stutter, unable to tell the doctor he is sure because I am still awake.


    “Don’t speak Princess A, 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 Lelose my eyes again because keeping them open still takes


    too much out of me


    “I think I know the answer to this Princess A but if you want Prince Grillin to leave you can just


    tap my hand” The doctor tells me as she ces her hand on the bed next to me.


    She is right, she knows the anaver because, of course, he can stay. There is nothing she can tell


    me he cannot know of Not even if I would have been pregnant with David’s pup


    “Well your body is very slowly recovering, we flushed out the medicine that stopped you from


    shulling Meaning that as soon as your body is strong enough again you are able to shift. There is no


    permanent physical damage, recovering and healing will take a long time though. You just need to


    get a lot of rest and good food. Don’t be scared you can sleep as much as you want. You will not


    slip back into aa again” Nothing is too surprising to me, I can manage a long. painful recovery,


    As long as I still have Willow, and if I have Griffin I will be okay in the end. And I could sleep, it feels


    weird saying this since I just woke up from aa. But it feels like it’s been so long since I’ve got a


    good sleep. The doctor advised me to eat something first. And the moment the doctor left Griffin


    gently pulled me against his chest.


    “You will be okay Darling, I love you so much, since your throat hurts so much can I make you some


    porridge?” He breathes into my hair.

    And the weight of everything that has happened suddenly bes too. much to bear. Burying my


    face in his chest inhaling the scent of cin namon, cedar wood, and citrus. I let it all out, tears


    streaming down- my face as I kept sobbing. I felt Griffin’s shirt getting soaked but I could not stop


    myself. I clung to him like I was afraid he would just disappear again. There was so much I wanted


    to tell him, to make him understand that he was the only reason I managed to pull through.


    “Come on I will run you a bath, we can bathe together and then I help you get dressed, so you can


    have the porridge I’ll make you.” Griffin told me as he peeled himself away from me.


    He walked off and soon I heard the tap running. If someone would have told me a year ago, that I


    would be this helpless. Having a mate take so much care of me I would haveughed at them. Now


    it felt oddlyforting to hear Griffin rummage about. Acting like nothing was wrong like I did not


    just have a meltdown on his chest.

    Two hourster I was lying down in our bed again. Drifting off listening to the sound of Griffin typing


    away on hisptop. Griffin had taken such good care of me. Everything he had done wasced with


    the love this amazing man felt for me. It had soothed me, the bath had left mo Têxt belongs to N?velDrama.Org.


    feeling clean, and it warmed my aching mussels. Being surrounded by my mate was already


    healing. And all of his gentle touches had sped up the healing process. Not to mention how the


    porridge had made me feel full and sleepy. Just eating a healthy filling meal made me happy. Now


    Griffin had chosen to work in the bedroom with me so that I could rest knowing her was near.


    The door mmed open, I struggled to open my eyes again now that I was startled awake.


    “Fire Crac ker, you’re still awake, I came to tell Griffin I have an update about David, do you want to


    hear it too?”
