Serene's pov
A gasp escaped my lips as I jerked up from the soft bed I was in.
My eyes roamed around the room trying to adjust to the environment.
A doctor was beside me in seconds.
“Relax, you've lost a lot of blood.”
“Blood” I repeated, trying to make sense of what he had just said.
He pushed me gently back into bed. I groaned deeply
“You were lucky to be brought here in time, the knife missed your vital organs.” The doctor continued.
I closed my eyes briefly as my near-death experience flashed across my mind.
“How did I get here?”. I asked slowly.
“Don't bother about it, just focus on healing.” The doctor replied.
The last thing I remembered was me passing out while Hunter stabbed me multiple times.
What could have happened to Hunter? Who could have brought me here? I would at least like to thank the person for saving my life.
The doctor left me and a group of men in well-tailored suits entered.
My eyes widened as they surrounded the bed, giving me some distance,
“What do you want? Who are you people?” I asked.
They kept mute, with straight faces.
If this was a ploy for Hunter to finish what he started, then I had better get out of here.
The door opened, and another man walked in. The other men straightened in respect for him.
The room suddenly became chill, there was this air of superiority about him.
He locked eyes with him, and I could have fallen off the sides of the bed, his dusty grey orbs were so mesmerizing.
I have never been so drawn to someone's appearance before.
“You're awake, finally” his deep baritone voice cut through the air.
His strides were powerful, his shoulders raised high, he was filled with authority and power, he spoke like one who could make things happen at the snap of his fingers.
I swallowed and nodded in response, I could not even say a word.. I feel like I'm in the presence of a god, a charming, alluring yet dangerously attractive god.
He ignored me, then faced one of the tailored suit men. They must be his guards.
Then he must definitely be strong and of high ranking, no doubt about it.
Only someone like this could have saved me from the cold clutches of death.
“What's her condition now?” He asked the man on his right.
“She's stable and ready to leave.”
“Good, take her to the house, and prepare her for the ceremony.”
“Wait, what?” I snapped out of my ogling trance I was in.
“What ceremony?”
He turned his back to me and left.
My eyes nearly came out of my sockets as two of the me held me by the hand.
“Don't fight it, we are only taking you to his house.” One managed to explain.
I didn't want that, I didn't want to be taken into some sexy god's house just to perform a ceremony.
“No.” I struggled.
The door opened, there would be people outside, I would scream, and they'd come to my rescue, since this was a hospital.
I saw the doctor that attended to me earlier. I shouted at the top of my lungs.
“Help, doctor, you have to help me, these men are taking me for some damn ceremony.”
The doctor moved on like nothing was happening, even the nurses and other patients pretended like nothing was happening.
Could it be that the man who was their boss paid them to act this way?
My chest and stomach hurt, it was wrapped thickly in a bandage, I couldn't try to run or put up a fight without endangering my body.
I decided to follow them peacefully and see what this ceremony was all about.
We were outside the hospital, the sexy god was nowhere to be seen, he probably went ahead to prepare for the said ceremony.
I entered the car quietly and made sure to observe where I was being taken to.
We arrived at a very big mansion, filled with a variety of expensive cars.
The mansion was screaming wealth in my face. The sexy god must be a billionaire.
“You have to go in now.” The man who spoke softly to me earlier said close to my ears.
He seemed the kindest of them all, although he didn't wear a smile.
I really wanted to ask where the sexy god was.
“The king will join you shortly.” He said as he read my thoughts.
“King?”
Things weren't adding up.
An elderly woman came out to welcome them.
“Katherine, take her with you, and get her ready.”
The woman bowed slightly, took me by the hand, led me inside.
There was no time to admire the exquisiteness of the inside.
Katherine dragged me to a very big room, and stripped me of the hospital wear I still had on.
“Goodness me, where did the king find you?” She gasped in horror as she took in my bruised body that was only beginning to heal.
I was lost for words as I had no clue how I ended up in the hospital myself.
“Nevermind, I'll take care of you and make you look good.”
I felt the cold water hit my body as she scrubbed me clean and shampooed my hair.
By the time she was done, she called other ladies who came in with them and busied themselves working on my hair.
“For the final part,” Katherine announced, bringing out a white dress from a bag.
“Is that mine?” I asked, surprised, yet awed by its beauty.
I could not ask any questions as she helped me wear it. It felt good against my skin.
“Are you ready for the ceremony dear?”
“What ceremony is that?” I finally asked, still admiring the dress.
“You'll find out soon.”
She led me outside towards a passageway.
There are two large doors at the end.
It opened from behind on its own. I heard a loud voice from inside.
“It is time for the wedding ceremony of our Lycan King Caden.”
