Killian's

POV

I woke up like someone's pounding at my skull, like a hammer driving through my temples. The dim light in the room didn't help; it made everything blur together, and I could barely make out my surroundings. With a groan, I pushed myself up from the bed, my muscles stiff, my body protesting with every movement.

Pain shot through my head, making me wince. I gritted my teeth, trying to shake off the haze.

Before I could gather myself together, I heard the soft patter of footsteps rushing towards.

"Alpha, you're awake!" Anya's voice cut through the fog, she looked so relieved upon seeing my eyes open.

However, worry washed over her when she aw the pain I was in. Her hand hovered near me, hesitant, as if she was debating whether or not to help me sit up.

I waved her off, even though my head felt like it was going to split in two. "I'm fine," I muttered, though it was obvious I wasn't.

The throbbing intensified and I couldn't help but bring a hand to my forehead, pressing against the pain as if that could stop it.

Anya frowned, worry etched deep into her face. "You've been unconscious for hours, Alpha. You should rest."

"What exactly happened to me?" I asked her as I tried to remember what happened last night, but nothing came to my mind. All I could remember was leaving Giselle after our date.

After that, everything was hazy.
