Chapter 10
Elkirah’s POV
I woke up with a tremendous headache and aching body. It felt like a truck has hit me and went back to make sure that I was surely dead before it ran me over again for the 2nd time.
I can see the outlines of the room as it was dark?
I wonder why it’s dark already.
“Zeus?” I called out.
I waited for an answer and to no avail, I sat up reluctantly.
Shaking myself awake from this soreness that I’m feeling is a harder task than it sounds as I seemed to be all sweaty and stuff.
“What the hell?” I muttered under my breath as I trudged towards the enticing bathroom.
Turning the lights on, I have stumbled to look upon the big mirror situated on the wall.
No bruises or anything of that matter is on my skin and apparently, I can’t hear my wolf talking to me at all now as I tried to wake her up in my head.
Making my way to the shower room I proceeded to take off my clothes and put them in the dirty hamper.
Taking my long sweet time showering with the heat on at its maximum peak that my skin can handle I took my shower.
The water ran down my sore body and made me relax in a way that made me feel relieved that I got to sink into my own thoughts wondering what happened and how in the world did I fall asleep on the bed when I remember reading books while Zeus was working in his desk.
Speaking of Zeus, I wonder where he went…
I decided that I’ll figure it out later and start focusing on my shower now.
After I was done and happy with the smell and the cleanliness I felt, I stepped out and reached for the towel when all of a sudden the bathroom door burst open.
“ELKIRAH!” Zeus called out all panicky and stuff.
“Yes?” I replied while continuing to dry myself all naked in front of him.
He took in a moment to look at me and finally registered what he was seeing.
A flash of worry is seen from his face before it turned into something more dark and passionate that made my knees weak.
Coughing up the air so that we will both be snapped out of our desires I asked him again.
“What’s the matter, Love?”
He replied, “Are you feeling okay?”
“Other than feeling like a truck has hit me 2x, I seem to be fine after taking my shower. Why do you ask? Did something happen? How did I even get here?” I pondered on.
“ I carried you, Do you remember what happened before you passed out?” He asked again worry flashing over his handsome face.
“Well, I know that I was reading a book, I wonder when I dozed off…” Trailing off to that thought.
He suddenly crossed the distance between us and hugged me. Staying there for at least close to 30 seconds, we separated because our skin was burning up in a way that was not nice.
“What time is it?” I asked like nothing happened at all.
“You mean what day is it right? You have been asleep for 3 days straight and you just woke up now.” He confessed.
“What?!” I asked him, shocked about the idea that I have slept for so long and have missed the scheduled activities in the pack house. They might be wondering why their Luna is MIA for many days now since she arrived.
I think Zeus saw the panic in my face and reached for my waist which was covered in a towel by the way and reassured me that I don’t need to think about anything and I only need to rest as the journey seemed to take a toll on my body.
He asked if I was hungry and I said Yes.
He then proceeded to ask me if I would come down and accompany him to cook for the both of us as it was quite late in the evening already. Looking at the clock it was pretty close to midnight.
Going down the massive stairs into the kitchen where all the goodies are I followed him and sat on the barstool as he went on his way to prepare the ingredients that he will use.
“What will we be having today Dear Sir?” I asked him in a teasing tone.
“Some truffle pasta with Greek salad and your choice of dessert” He replied in a tone that spoke in the accent of an Italian.
“I’m still really surprised about the fact that you know how to cook as the boys in my pack do not,” I said to him bewildered by the fact.
“Yes, I can and I only do this to serve my very beautiful mate who needs to get her strength back so that I can take you out on a date.” He looked up at me and took a slight pause from his slicing. Smiling, he went back to finish slicing.
“Well then please tell me the deets about this date of ours,” I said.
“No, you just need to sit back and relax and let me worry about what we’ll be doing. I already have a plan for us both and I sure wish that you would love it.” He replied with a smile on his face still.
“I like you,” I said and continued on to say,
“I love it when you smile and I’m the reason why,” I said smiling at him.
“Well, I happen to want to know you in order to be able to love you at your fullest self,” He said looking all proud and soft at this moment that I wanted to just squeeze and give him a kiss.
Seeing as I can’t do that, I blew out a kiss in his way and said that I was thankful that he is not the type of guy to take advantage of me as his mate and do what he wants without knowing his mate deeply.
This fact made me respect him more and it made me happy that he treated me this way.
“So, are you the type to watch movies and stuff like that?” I asked as he was boiling away the pasta.
“No, but if you wanted to I will sit down and watch with you.” He replied.
“And if I want to watch Korean dramas, would you watch that with me?” I giddily asked.
He was a bit reluctant to answer but finally, he said, “I guess I’ll try to give it a chance but if I don’t like it then I’ll probably let you have your space to watch what you like so that you can relax and be worry-free as the time passes.”
“Awe, what a cutie!” I exclaimed happily.
After that, we waited for the pasta to cook and he served it to us both. I will tell you that it is super tasty and milky in my mouth. The pasta is cooked al dente and the sauce, It tasted like a mix of mushroom soup with something I can’t explain. It was almost heavenly! I continued to eat happily and soon enough I finished 3 portions of pasta.
Don’t blame me! It was just that good. I wish he’d always cook for me.
