Chapter 138: Who Are You?

Warren immediately jumped up and grabbed a water glass from the table next to the bed. He put the glass to her lips and she drank.

I wanted to sit beside her and hold her hand but I wasn’t sure I should touch her, even with gloves on. Would she blame me for what happened?

Ciana grunted and turned away from the water. Warren set it aside again.

She blinked several times and then opened her big, beautiful eyes. She sat up and her eyes immediately landed on me.

Forgetting my worries, I grabbed her in a fierce hug and kissed her passionately on the lips. Seeing her awake and alive was so overwhelming.

"Wh-" Ciana squirmed away from me and wiped her mouth with the back of her hand. "What the hell are you doing!?”

"Ciana!"

"Who are you?" she snarled at me. "Why are you kissing me!?"

"I..."

I glanced at Warren. He was as confused as me.

Was she playing some kind of joke? It was definitely not the right time for that.

When I looked back at Ciana, her eyes were wide with fear and genuine confusion. She clutched the bedsheets to her chest. She looked at all of us like she'd never seen us before and held one arm out like she was trying to keep us away.

I noticed how heavily she was breathing and I took a step back, holding my hands up. I didn't want her to freak out and have a panic attack.

"It’s okay," I stepped back and lowered my voice to say to Brook, who was standing near the far side of the room. "Brook, maybe you should take this..."

She looked surprised as well.

Brook had helped care for Ciana when she was unconscious and I was really glad she’ d decided to come back to the palace with Ciana after her short visit home.

Brook nodded and slowly approached the bed with a gentle smile. "Ciana, my name is

Brook. Do you remember me? We are really good friends."

Ciana's eyes followed Brook. She still looked confused but she relaxed when the rest of us backed up and Brook sat on the edge of her bed.

"Who are all of you?" Ciana asked more calmly. She looked at each of us with wide eyes, lingering on me the longest with a slight scowl.

"I'm Brook Ellsworth," Brook repeated. "That's Prince Warren and Beta Jake. You know us all very well."

"I do?" Ciana asked, looking at Brook.

"Yes, very much so," Brook assured gently.

Ciana didn't look entirely convinced, but she relaxed into the pillows. Every now and then, she shot me a quick, dirty look. That didn't bode well.

She didn't look at anyone else like that. Probably because I’d kissed her and she... she didn't know who we were.
