Aliana POV

I woke up with a terrible headache. The window was dark, and I knew it was nighttime. The memory of what happened came to me, and I was afraid. I wondered what must have made Nikolas rush into his mother’s room like he did. I had told him I would have to force-feed her unless she was sedated. When I saw she wasn’t sedated as expected, I believed Nikolas wanted to make it difficult for me, so I devised other means to carry on. The woman had bit me in the process.

I felt for my arm where she had bitten and saw it had already healed.

I became apprehensive.

I did not know if I should go and check on her or look for Nikolas. I decided to remain in my room.

I got off the bed and decided to sit under a cold shower to help with my headache. I also felt a slight fever, but I kept it to myself. It was best Nikolas believed I was still asleep.

The fever reduced after I had left the shower. I returned to my room, n*ake*d, and found Nikolas sitting on the bed.

I screamed from shock and ran back to the bathroom to wear the bathrobe. I returned feeling embarrassed. I was also afraid that something terrible had happened.

“Come here,” he said calmly, and I walked close to him quietly.

“She wasn’t sedated, I just wanted to get food into her. I swear, I had no malicious intent,” I said quickly, pleading my case before the opportunity to do so was taken from me. He nodded and waited for me to reach him before he spoke.

“Next time you find her in that state, you should link me,” he said, and I nodded quickly.

Then he looked at me with a tinge of concern in his eyes.

“How are you feeling?” he asked, and I opted to lie.

“I am all right,” I said. Nikolas assessed me and then nodded and stood up.

“The doctor will bring you some medicine. Try and get some rest. You can take tomorrow off,” He said, and I refused to take the day off. If I were idle, I would sink into depression. I needed to occupy my mind

“I would prefer to continue my work, alpha,” I said, and he sighed.

“Suit yourself,” he said and walked out.
