"The boundaries which divide Life from Death are at best shadowy and vague. Who shall say where the one ends, and where the other begins?"

Once I was back into my room, making sure to hide my clothes under my mattress, the cloak had turned transparent now. When I'd wear it, it was black because I wanted it to be, when I wouldn't wear it, it would just turn transparent,

But now we had another problem, I am on my periods so I'm weaker to poisons now, and I had a drop in my blood,
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtc3c32PLus
I had slit my wrist to let out the poison from
my body as quick as possible, I had then proceeded to drink the antidote, it should work fine but for the time being I needed to rest for it to work,
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt35ZL0APYT
As quick as I could, I had texted Evander to let him know I'm not going to be able to make it to training for a week as I had came down with a terrible cold which had left my body paralyzed,
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCvOA3dxZqF
In my defense, I was exaggerating but I needed to,
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr8DLG1KQ6I
"Text this number, please"
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfnXpYvBxTL
My head tilted to the side, I instantly clicked on the number and texted it,
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUWzQPy7uVD
"Here, I texted the number"
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFFeGHjX0TQ
My eyebrows furrowed
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpubxk7mflt
"I really don't have time for this Evander"
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Ypw6CWu6w
My eyes widened as I read the next text,
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkYVpo1pnuS
"My love, we are sorry for resorting to tricking you into talking to us, please, talk to us, what have we done? We promise that we will explain and make it up to you, anything you want, your wish is my command, my precious"
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5xnrUXxIgN
I sighed, I felt bad, but there was no way I was going to meet up with him after what just happened, not to mention the periods too,
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjifwWIJtO8
"I'm sorry, Cian. Please give me some time, I need to take time off work as well, I wouldn't want you catching the cold from me, you're a king, give me one week, and I'll come back, I'm counting this on my other sick days, thank you"
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4LBYyLF4l1
As I had sent him the text, I face palmed myself hard as I remembered that werewolves don't even catch colds, I quickly rushed to answer his other texts,
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXoz3IZj6xX
"I wouldn't have the heart to avoid you, so I will tell you that it is not you, it's something about me and I can't talk about it, you've been terrific so far, you haven't done anything wrong :)"
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ89pqPWtvCm
Now that I sent that message, it just looks creepy with the smile, I was horrible at texting others and normally I was socially awkward too unless it came to something that I held close to me, I was quiet all the time.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXqvhNwOJJm
A message from Evander popped up on my phone and it read,
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe9kWae7foN
"King Cian snatched my phone with the meanest glare he ever had after I told him you can't come out for a week"
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo6YxDzHnj5
Oh so that was Cian, I chuckled as I replied,
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4VNzPaMxns
"I'm sorry for his behavior, he is the king you can't say anything ;)"
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwzQER5ojnW
I rolled my eyes at my own teasing towards Evander, he was probably shaken too,
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ36lvBEiomX
I received another message from Cian,
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGVh3qEHuy2
"We are always here for you, my queen, demand it and you will get it in less than seconds at your door, we promise you won't even have to see us till you are ready"
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkKNBmD1ofJ
I smiled at his reply, I didn't know what to say, it was so sweet, and I felt bad for him, but this has to be done if I want to keep my identity a secret and recover at the same time,
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu8gfI33GQI
Now that I had the time, I could finally rest,
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkoMfQNNmdI
After another stretch, I made my way to shower, I let the water run down on me, the warm water relaxing my aching muscles, I had started getting really bad chills and shivers, so I quickly finished with my shower to go back to bed, after I had changed, I had heard a huge bang and a shriek outside of my window,
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTJ3MNfh5jS
A scowl had made its way on my face as I approached my window, opening the curtains again, I had found out there was an owl distressed while the small version of the owl had landed right on my windowsill, panic coursed through my veins, if anyone knew me deep down, they would know an animal is my Achilles heel,
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9q9ydEImq5
As quick as I could, I cupped the baby owl in my palms gently, the mother had shrieked as she charged at me for her baby,
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfc6ixBd7le
I couldn't let either the distressed mother and the baby owl go, so i had to show her that I mean no harm,
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQqmyNNTxlc
She had charged into my room, now I had closed the window to let her calm down and get familiar with the room, she wasn't in the best shape and as I inspected the baby, it was badly hurt.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzdbo8fVN7k
I found some salt and water on my table and I quickly had mixed it, while the mother had watched me very closely as I worked, she looked threatened but the more I had tended to her baby, the more visibly she was relaxing,
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxbkCybOBZ2
The baby owl's chest had been busted with the impact it seems, and I quickly put the solution on it,
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGWzOTz0bTU
The baby hissed in pain as the mother had shrieked loudly at hearing her baby's pained noise,
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh3eXoQAtJI
I scowled as I quickly decided to call Cian,
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz6MBJEB8sS
I needed them to see a vet as soon as possible and I was going to look after them for as long as possible then let them go back into the wild if they wanted to,
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0GxQXoVfXG
From the first ring, Cian had picked up right away,
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRtwO25XSgK
"My love"
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqMidCEGyhz
His voice sounded relieved,
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfBxmgOJ5zY
And I tried my best to not let my voice break,
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO0QxkeQzAz
"C-Cian there is a hurt baby owl and its mother in my room, I know it's not right to be asked this of the king, but I really need a vet as soon as possible, the baby's bleeding, I really need a veterinarian to come into my room and take care of them, I will be keeping them for a while with me as well"
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqQlRVDdIQK
As I finished, out of breath from the panic that had rushed in, Cian had softly whispered,
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP8Y073eJzG
"Expect us, my queen"
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkIQVGZVJIJ
