It makes me nervous how tired Kas is the next day. She's still pale and her eyes don't have their usual sparkle. She insists on getting out of bed but she falls asleep at the kitchenette table before | can finish toasting a bagel for her. | carry her over to the sofa and bring her some pillows and her gray and green blanket. | wrap her up in a little cocoon and turn on the cooking channel she likes. Before | can even turn around, she is already asleep on the couch.

 

| call James and request Delilah come check on her to make sure what she is going through is normal. Once Delilah arrives, she looks Kas over. She agrees that what Kas did to heal me should be well within her power, but since she isn't anywhere close to her full power with her injuries, it just gassed her. She just needs rest. Delilah lets me know she will brew up something for Kas to drink that will help but it will take a few hours for it to kick in. -

 

“| will stay here with her. I'm sorry, Alpha Bronx, but you need to leave for a while. Give her some peace and quiet. | will stay here and make sure she's okay,” Delilah says. She writes a list of ingredients on a piece of paper and hands it to me, "The kitchen should have all these herbs. | need these to make the tea to help Luna lok- uh Luna Kas.” “Sorry, Alpha, but you heard the boss,"

 

James shrugs as Delilah closes the apartment door behind us, "| am going to see if | can sneak a snack from the kitchen. | can take that list to Mrs. Miller.”

 

| hand him the list and watch him lightly jog down the stairs to the kitchen. | could go workout in the weight room. It's down in the basement. | don't want to be that far away in case something happens to Kas. | head down the hall to my office to catch up on work instead. Milo enters the office and practically jumps out of his skin, in a split second his claws and fangs extend, taking a defensive stance, until he realizes it's just m e.

 

“Bronx, you scared the shit out of me. What are you doing here? Shouldn't you be lying on your belly or something?" he grabs his chest and looks at me with concern.

 

“Kas healed me last night. Now she is tired, so Delilah kicked me out of my own apartment, "| lean back in my chair with a frown.

 

“Kas healed you? What? | thought she needed to get her energy back before she could do things like that," he looks confused, "Wait, Delilah kicked you out of your apartment? How tired is Kas that she needs Delilah there?”

 

“Well, let's just say Kas was able to get her energy back last night through our connection and | may never be able to get in my bathtub without getting a boner again," my mind wanders thinking about last night, “ but when she healed me, it wiped out every ounce of energy she had built up."
