Gabriella’s POV
“That can’t be true at all, how can I be asleep for good five days? That’s not possible at all, you must be mistaken.” I said trying so hard to process everything.
“It’s okay my love, you need to calm down okay, I know it’s hard to believe but I cannot be lying to you, what will I gain from lying in matters relating to you, do you know how worried I was at the beginning? Your breathing gave me hope that you are fine.” He said and I know my love can’t lie to me but there is no way I will sleep for five days when I am not in a coma. There is no way at all.
“If you are feeling so weak I will say you should take a little rest.” He said to me and I refused, what about if I tried to rest this time around and I ended up sleeping so deeply again and find myself in a world granting all my heart’s desire, no way, I am not taking such chances every again.
“I am okay.”
“Yeah, you should be because you finally got enough sleep and I am happy to see you looking healthy this morning.” He said with his cute smile and I was not in the mood for his romantic behavior, I just find out I could transform like other pack members, the other Nick told me I have the blood of an alpha flowing in my veins, meaning I am very strong but only one way to confirm it, I need to check my eyes with the aid of a mirror and then shift into a huge wolf, I just hope it works right now.
I got off the bed and rushed to the mirror, I closed my eyes and took a deep breath, “Please work.” I counted to ten and when I opened my eyes, there were the same, nothing supernatural happened to me I guess maybe I did it the wrong way so I decided to try again and it wasn’t working at all. Damn it, why will you work in my dream world and fail to work in reality? I hate you. I used my fist to destroy the mirror before me out of rage and Nick held me so close to himself, “Get a hold of yourself, love, you are hurting yourself and I really do not like it at all.” He said, looking so sad.
“Let me go, please, I am completely useless right now. Just let me be.”
“How can I let you be when you just woke up and ended up in such a state of hurting yourself? I love you and I will do everything in my best to make you feel better, you are bleeding already, please stop.” He held me closer and tears left my eyes, “It hurts.” I cried out. I used to think I will never let the omega issue weigh me down ever again, for the past few years I learned to be strong and I can also do spells so I am not completely useless but here I am crying over it. A fish will always know how to swim, it’s in their nature, a bird must always learn how to fly so high, an alpha daughter like me should have the blood flowing in my veins and I should be able to shift into one at ease, but I am living the opposite.
“I will tend to your wounds.” He said to me after I calmed down a little and I obeyed him but I remained quiet.
“I’ll go and get the first aid kit, but please promise me you won’t hurt yourself, my love. Promise me,” he said, his caring gaze fixed on me.
“I promise, I won’t hurt myself,” I assured him.
“Thank you. I’ll be back in less than five minutes.” He kissed my cheek before leaving, and as he departed, a tear rolled down my face. I had overcome so much, and yet here I was allowing myself to grow weak again. It was a step backward, and I couldn’t let it happen. I had learned so much from Margaret, and I couldn’t let that knowledge fade away so easily.
Wait a minute, did Margaret tamper with the herb tonic she gave me? Could she have created an illusion to make me rest? Why would she do such a thing without consulting me first? This crossed the boundaries we had set, and I didn’t appreciate it. After Nick finished tending to my wounds, I decided I would speak to Margaret about this as soon as I got the chance.
Nick returned with the first aid kit and sat beside me, taking my hands gently. I winced as he applied the ointment-it stung. “Ouch.”
“I’m sorry, it’ll sting a little, but it’ll help you heal,” he reassured me, and I nodded in understanding. He finished dressing my wounds, and I stopped him, saying, “I’m sorry for causing you worry just now. I wasn’t myself for a moment there.”
“You don’t have to apologize to me, honey. You’re awake and smiling at me now. Seeing you okay makes me feel better.”
“I love you so much, Nicklaus. I can never stop loving you,” I confessed, my sincerity evident. He pulled me into a kiss, and our affection escalated into unexpected lovemaking.
After the intense encounter, we stepped into the bathroom together, turning on the shower. He embraced me from behind, showering me with kisses and caresses. The sensation was heightened with the water cascading over us. His touch on my clitoris drew soft moans from my lips, and he continued his sensual exploration.
“Don’t tell me we’re doing this again in here.”
“If you’re up for it, I really don’t mind. Besides, I could never tire of being with you all day,” I responded with a giggle, sharing the same playful mood.
“Thank you, Nick.”
“No, it’s me who should be thanking you. Okay, let me take care of you now. Today, I’m pampering you,” he said with a loving smile.
