1032 Words
Loiza's POV:
As I saw Kayden leave through the corner of my eye, I felt the pull of the mate Bond to go to him, but that would have to wait. A cute petit girl with a ponytail of rich auburn curls, fair skin and bright dark blue eyes comes up to us asking for me... "Are you the Lady Loiza as you really a Priestess of the Goddess?" I show her my Mark and she jumps up and down excitedly.
"Uh yeah, hello my name is Loiza and these two are my brothers Aymaco and Urayoán. Nice to meet you." I reply with a yawn. "I'm so sorry please excuse me, I am also really very, very tired."
"It's so good to meet you I am Jolene! I wanted so very much to be a Priestess of the Goddess too but sadly I failed my trials but at least you are here at least! Our pack shall have a Priestess! I will have the honor of serving the Goddess in another way! I am here to take you to your rooms to help you get settled and rest, are you hungry? There is food ready for you we really hope you like it, we hav--"
"JOLENE! Take a breath girl! By the Goddesses's mercy! Can't you see her Ladyship is tired! I am so sorry My Lady, Jo sometimes gets carried away." Nancy scolds her.
"Sorry My Lady." The girl says bowing her head.
"It's very nice to meet you Jolene, I am glad you will help us, but I really need a bath as soon as possible or I will pass out." For real I can't anymore. I need to start the hibernation process now.
"Yes! Come with me! Come, come!" She says enthusiastically. And we follow her.
'Wow! And here I thought Natalia spoke fast!' Ura says chuckling through the link.
I stay silent I NEED a bath PRONTO, I need to submerge in water. "Jolene is there a deep tub in the room I will be staying at?" I ask.
"Yes My Lady! The Alpha has commanded for you to have a suite! So do you want a bath instead of a shower My Lady?" She is too chirpy for my mood right now.
"It's not a question of what I want anymore but what my body needs Jolene." I reply.
"I will help you My Lady, here!" She told my brothers. "This is your room, there are already clothes and toiletries you will need and it's next to your her Ladyship! There is a lunch being prepared for all of you, so whether you wish to eat or sleep after you wash up is up to you, ok?" She opened the door for them.
"Thank you Jolene, we will be fine, please take good care of our sister, ok?" Maco tells the girl. "I will! I will run a bath for The Lady right away!" And she opens the next door. "This is your room My Lady, how would you like your water?" She seems like a really sweet girl but I just cannot take this right now, I feel like somebody is hammering next to my head while I have a migraine!
"Wet! I'll handle the rest. I just need to be submerged." I instantly regretted talking like that to the poor girl who was only trying to help me. It's like asking me to do work without having my coffee first!
"Yes! At once My Lady!" And she scurries into the bathroom to fill the large jacuzzi tub.
'Look guys just check up in half and hour to verify that I have not passed out inside the tub.' I beg my brothers through the link. 'I don't think Jolene has served a Priestess before and the assistance needed after using so much life energy it requires.' And both respond in the affirmative, knowing full well what that entails because it wouldn't be the first time. 'See you guys in a while and verify who else survived, I need a count of every single survivor, got it?'
'Yes ma'am! As you command your Ladyship!' They say in unison. Idiots! I roll my eyes and go into my room.
"Jolene?" I ask while looking at the room. It's very nice, but I already I am starting to feel very dizzy. I let go of the blanket I have been using to keep the growing coldness away.
"In here My Lady!" Jolene shouts from one of the two doors in the room. I enter and my dizziness gets the better of me. I go to the toilet to throw up my empty stomach... Ew.
"My Lady how can I help you?! What do I do?!" Jolene asks looking clearly terrified.
I take a deep breath, "Please help me undress, my energy is spent." I have cold sweats and I feel I am going to pass out any minute.
"Yes at once!" She helps me take of my tank top and shorts. I then grab the edge of the tub and press my head to it trying to find the energy to get in, the cold of the tub feels good to my forehead. I take another deep breath and extend my claws, then I remember I am a guest and ruining a nice tub would be disrespectful to our hosts, s**t. "Ok, Jolene, I am trying to get up to get into the tub, do you think you have the strength to help me in?" She picks me up and actually submerges me gently into the water! I would not have expected that little girl to be that strong. But I am finally in the water and even though Jolene made the water hot, it wasn't hot enough! In that moment I focus my mind to HEAT. My Priestess Mark turns orange and the water is now the correct temperature. Now I focus my mind on HEAL, instantly my mark turns mint green, and then the entire water turns into a murky mint green as well. I finally start breathing with a little bit more steadiness.
"Thank you Jolene..." My voice a mere whisper and everything goes dark.
