Chapter 107

RYKER’S PO.V

The girl was awake.

She was seated up on the bed with a bowl of oats in her hands when we walked into the quarters. She looked a thousand times better than she did when she was brought in. As soon as our presence was noticed, both of them bowed and the physician rushed up to us. He looked excited. I could practically see him floating in mid air.

“I can’t believe it worked, your majesty,” he whispered more to himself than any of us. I glanced over at Camilla to see how she felt about everything but she was staring pointedly at the woman. “I can only imagine the things your blood can do. If it is powerful enough to heal the vampire bite then-”

“There is company in the room, physician. The walls have ears. You should try keeping your excitement down to a minimum,” I said in the most bored tone I could muster.

“I understand your majesty but this is the discovery of a lifetime. I have never heard or seen anything like this before. It is absolutely-”

“This topic can be addressed another day, physician,” I cut in and he looked a little sheepish as he bowed and walked away. I dropped my voice to a whisper once he went back to the patient. “Are you alright?”

“Yes, I am just shocked, that’s all. Let’s go talk to her.”

She slipped her hand out of my grip and made her way over to the edge of the bed. The girl realized we wanted to speak to her and placed her half eaten bowl on the bedside table. Now that she looked a little healthier, I was almost certain that she was slightly older than Camilla. She had a mature air around her.

“Thank you, your majesties, I thought I was going to die. I don’t know how I will ever repay you,” her voice was deep and husky. Up close, I could see the color of her eyes and there were a deep green color, similar to the color of dark leaves.

“You don’t have to thank us, we were doing our job,” Camilla assured her with a soft hand on her shoulder. “What’s your name and what happened to you?”

She swallowed deeply and turned to face the window. There was a tension in her shoulders that I knew came from having to remember such a traumatic experience. If I could, I would have told her not to bother but it was important that we knew if Alastair was the one causing this and what happened before she was bitten.

“My name is Alara. I was born here but I left for a while to live with my uncle. I returned a year ago after my mother died. I was out collecting herbs in the evening

when it happened. I assumed that because it wasn’t completely dark yet then I was safe. I had ventured too far into the woods. The trees were so tall ad thick that it was a struggle to get through. I heard him before I saw him.”

She shut her eyes and a shudder went through her. Camilla instantly wrapped an arm around her shoulders and gave her soft words of encouragement. Alara’s eyes were wet with unshed tears. Camilla glanced over at me as if silently asking if we could just let her be but I shook my head. It was important that we knew everything so we could know how to properly handle the situation.
