Chapter 152

The sun was shining through the window and I felt the warmth on my skin. The light hurt my eyes, and | slowly

turned my face away from it to shield my eyes.

| was exhausted. Every muscle in my body hurt and every single bone felt like it had cracked. My limbs were

sore, my joints cracking, and my skin felt hot

| was sweating and my throat was parched. | tried to wake myself up, but my eyes did not want to open. They

felt like they weighed a ton.

But when | forced my eyelids to flutter open, | realized that | was not in a familiar place. It was all plain white and

dull.

| could vaguely make out the white curtain blowing in the soft breeze and the pale windows. My eyes slowly

roamed through the space and then | noticed the huge bulky frsitting in front of me,

My eyes tried to focus on the figure, to tell who it was... and then | saw the blue eyes. Eyes that made me

breathless, and nervous. But this tthey were staring intently atcoldly.

For a second, | wished that | had returned to my previous life where everything was simple between us.

“I knew you would always find an escape,” he said, his tone was filled with a hint of mockery.

Trying my best to not let exhaustion wash overagain, | opened my eyes and pushed myself up on my elbows

in a sitting position

“Why is it so easy to rile you up?” He asked and | decided to ignore him. My mouth felt dry and rough.

I looked around for water and he seemed to have sensed it, for he slowly, purposefully got up from the chair.

Eros reached for the jar of water placed on the bedside table and poured into the glass.

He handed it to me, and | grabbed the glass and drank it.

“Take it slow” He cautioned but my throat was burning as were my insides.

“More,” | begged, and he held the water jar above my glass, but with unsteady hands | reached for the jar and

put it straight to my lips. After drinking it all, and almost spilling a good amount on myself, | was done.

He shook his head subtly and took the jar away from my hands as | wiped my mouth with the back of my sleeve.

The water helped a little. Though my head was still hurting, | could look around with better clarity. “Where am 1?”

Eros replied, “At a hospital. | don’t need to tell you why, right?”

| placed my hands on my temples as another wave of pain coursed through my head. Memories cback to

Sand, arena, Shauna shovingto the ground. | had won the trials and passed out due to exhaustion of taking a

man twice my size for the first time.

Eros sat in front of me, lookingdead in the eye “I take it that you thought engagin in the trial was going to be

a glorious adventure, and so you set off on without my permission. | don’t think I have it into keep asking

why you keep doing stuff | don’t want you to. So, instead, | will ask, what do you want?” | blinked.

His tone was mix of being calm and angry, | didn’t want to push my luck so i just said “Shower”

“What?” He asked with a baffled look.

“Shower and food,” | said, and at that exact moment, my stomach rumbled loudly.

| expected Eros to grow angry, but instead a chuckle escaped his lips. The chuckle turned into full blown laughter

as he clutched his stomach with his hands.

“You want food, and to shower!” He said, standing from the chair and raking a hand through his hair. | looked up

at him warily and hesitated to smile, but seeing him laugh madefeel better.

| stared at him stupidly, until he banged a hand on the back of the chair, startling me. In a second, he turned

around and was upon me. His face was inches from mine as he asked,

“Do you have any idea how risky it was for you yesterday?”

“Yesterday?” | looked at him in confusion, and he nodded his head.

“Yes. yesterday. You were passed out for almost twelve hours. And you had not eaten anything before you

decided to be flung yourself in the arena.”

“But | had breakfast. | added meekly.

“You had breakfast? The doctor toldyou had eaten almost nothing for the entire day and yet you trained for

hours, and then fought, and fought with a man

He looked atcuriously and | did not think “Your mate from another life” would satisfy him as an answer.

So | muttered “I am... your pack member.”

“I was in a very important meeting, so | had given specific instructions to my men to keep an eye on you. But

neither seemed to mind that you not just disrespected my word, but worked against it.

“They are not at fault. | asked Arthur about the rules. The trials were held for newly awakened in this land and |

am one.”

Eros rubbed his temple with his forefinger, snapping atagain, “Yes, rules that you found a loophole from to

show just how you don’t respect me.

“Sorry” | meekly replied.

“You don’t get to always wriggle out with a sorry. No, | am done being lenient with you.” My eyes went to the

trophy that was. placed on the bedside table. | was supposed to get a reward from him.

Maybe this was my reward. getting yelled at by him. Eros was so complicated.

He noticed the way my eyes were staring at the trophy, he sighed deeply, rubbing his temples “Well, now you

want your reward Go ahead, ask for it.
