Xaden very slowly regained consciousness and his eyes gently fluttered open.
He felt his entire body ache like hell.
It was as thing he had been stabbed a thousand times and left to be fed to a group of vultures.
He groaned and then suddenly his consciousness hit him and he recollected his surroundings.
Where the hell was he?
Why was he comfortable?
Why didn’t he feel worse than he usually felt.
And then it finally hit him, his environment.
He looked around.
He was in his own bedroom.
How had he gotten here?
His mind was a bit hazy and blurry.
And slowly it started to come to him.
He got flashes of how he had staggered and then finally crashed down unable to move.
And then he had passed out.
So he had actually made it back home.
He took in a deep breath.
He tried to move in his bed and he felt his entire body on fire.
He still hadn’t healed.
He gently sat up and looked at the bandages on his chest.
He was shirtless, but had loose breeches on.
He pushed away the blanket and gently set his feet down to the floor.
He took in a very deep breath.
He actually missed home.
He missed the relief of being back home, he was almost so gone that he had begun to even hallucinate Jasmine.
And then he remembered her.
How he had been so gone that he had even hallucinated seeing her in when he was escaping.
She was here in the pack .
She was definitely here with him.
And she was with his child.
They were safe that was all that mattered.
Once he was done dealing that godforsaken rogue bastard.
He walked to the window and opened it slightly to see what time of the day it was.
It was slightly towards evening.
Gods how long had he been knocked out.
His door was opened and then he felt his heart leap.
"Jasmine?" He called out
He quickly turned around but it was none other than Loren.
"No, just me my lord." Loren said.
Xaden sighed.
Of course it was Loren.
Who would open his door without asking for permission.
"Seems you’re much better. Now that you’re up and awake." Loren said as he walked towards the bed with his bag.
Loren walked up to him and began checking up on him.
"It’s good to see you aren’t dead." Loren said.
"Wha... uh... how did I even get here?" Xaden had to ask.
"You don’t remember?" Loren rose a brow disapprovingly.
"No I don’t." Xaden asked snappingly.
"Hey don’t get smart mouthed with me." Loren warned as he poked Xaden’s forehead. "I’m not the reason why you ended up half dead at the gates of the outskirts of the pack."
"Ow." Xaden scowled.
Loren went on as he checked his bandages.
"They found you outside." Loren said as he pulled open the bandage on his chest. "You were almost dead. But because I’m a magician I brought you back to life. Any hour past the moment we found you, you would have been dead."
Xaden felt his bones tense up.
