Denied by Destiny: Trapped in the Shadows of the Mate Bond

Chapter 0221

Kaia POV

Daylight was fading and the soft rays of remaining sunlight shone in on the hospital room with the artistic mixed colours of the sunset. The sun wasn't as hot now, the rays were providing an orange glow, rather than the strength of it's day time yellow. I had remained with Rosa all afternoon, she had slept the entire time.

I was panicking slightly that I might have done some wrong, that I took too much energy off her. My wolf kept reassuring me, telling me it had worked perfectly, yet I wouldn't leave her alone, just in case.

Her breathing was steady and I asked a doctor to check her repeatedly, who assured me that she really was just asleep.

Rosa's Father rushes through the door head hung low and his shoulders sagged, clearly he hadn't been told until a few moments ago who exactly was with Rosa while his mate slept.

"Sorry Luna." His eyes were bloodshot and looked sore to open, they had been through a lot.

"It's fine, she's been asleep the entire time.."

"She has?"

"Yes. I can stay if you want to get more rest." He clearly needed it, had he even managed to sleep.

"No, thank you Luna, I will sit with her. How did you get her to sleep?"

"I...I hummed to her." I miss out the part where I have an ability to take and give another's energy...I am in the mental health ward after all...they may well want to keep me in here. "You hummed to her?" He moves towards her, stroking the top of her hair.

"Can you get word to me when she's awake?"

""Yes Luna."

As I open the door I find the two guards outside that Hector had sent to watch me. They stand as I exit, my eyes rolling at them. I didn't need to be chaperoned.

I turn back to her father, who is now sitting in the chair.
