Ember, who had gone unconscious for hours, finally woke up. She felt surprised to find herself in bed, her last memory being in the bath.
“Miss, you are awake?” she heard the cheerful voice of Reya who had noticed that Ember had stirred under the sheets.
Ember blinked in confusion at her two servants who came to check on her immediately.
“Miss, are you feeling alright now?” Clio asked as she helped Ember sit up, the other elf moving to hand a glass of water for her to drink.
“Wasn’t I taking a bath?” Ember asked in a low voice after giving the empty glass back to her servants..
“Don’t you remember, Miss? You fainted suddenly in the bath.”
“We were so worried the entire time you were unconscious.”
Hearing their concerned voices, Ember tried to recall what happened, causing her body to tremble.
Pain. She was in so much pain.
At that time, she didn’t have the energy to pay attention to what was happening. All she wanted was to get rid of that pain.
It started when she stepped out of the pool. She felt a sharp stabbing pain in her chest, causing her to lose her balance and fall on the ground. And with each passing second, the pain intensified, making her feel tremendous suffering to the point she was unable to breathe.
It was as if something inside her was being torn to shreds. She felt like she would die any moment.
But then the pain eased for a moment and she was able to find a little comfort when her mate came.
Though she was at the verge of losing her consciousness back then, she remembered Draven covering her with a towel and lifting her in his arms.
Air came back to her lungs. She was able to breathe again as the pain slowly lessened. Though it was not completely gone, she felt comfortable with her mate nearby.
Did he cast magic on her? Was it his power? The mate bond? Whatever the reason was, she wanted him close.
Later, she went unconscious due to exhaustion.
“…Miss?”
“Huh?”
Ember blinked ignorantly, not realizing that her servants were talking to her.
Clio repeated what she missed. “We were asking if you want to dine here in your room.”
