"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,
45Please respect copyright.PENANAEIZboigvbA
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,
45Please respect copyright.PENANASQSBaKuxTO
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,
45Please respect copyright.PENANAEBg3QwJygL
In my defense, I was exaggerating but I needed to,
45Please respect copyright.PENANAN2Efs5sKta
"Text this number, please"
45Please respect copyright.PENANA0kZR8LbrYq
My head tilted to the side, I instantly clicked on the number and texted it,
45Please respect copyright.PENANA0zxjGooxNC
"Here, I texted the number"
45Please respect copyright.PENANAY7OywBDWfv
My eyebrows furrowed
45Please respect copyright.PENANAzJxevvcQCe
"I really don't have time for this Evander"
45Please respect copyright.PENANAFIWBFYuT7N
My eyes widened as I read the next text,
45Please respect copyright.PENANAl5s5HypWqd
"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"
45Please respect copyright.PENANAp885zV8FxO
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,
45Please respect copyright.PENANAwKratzD9aP
"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"
45Please respect copyright.PENANARjeoRuftIz
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,
45Please respect copyright.PENANAkpsC0nVjJW
"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 :)"
45Please respect copyright.PENANAGHEwRxDRh1
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.
45Please respect copyright.PENANA7Dy5ojtQL5
A message from Evander popped up on my phone and it read,
45Please respect copyright.PENANAsrDbrIsXy4
"King Cian snatched my phone with the meanest glare he ever had after I told him you can't come out for a week"
45Please respect copyright.PENANAnO1oQSiq7F
Oh so that was Cian, I chuckled as I replied,
45Please respect copyright.PENANAugkJxkG7QV
"I'm sorry for his behavior, he is the king you can't say anything ;)"
45Please respect copyright.PENANAdnYHCvSHCw
I rolled my eyes at my own teasing towards Evander, he was probably shaken too,
45Please respect copyright.PENANAK31WeXqXXH
I received another message from Cian,
45Please respect copyright.PENANACfcRqwumLe
"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"
45Please respect copyright.PENANAZana0vOjpC
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,
45Please respect copyright.PENANAIvWOgbNmnL
Now that I had the time, I could finally rest,
45Please respect copyright.PENANAADlkEivExi
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,
45Please respect copyright.PENANAI60T5qDHZq
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,
45Please respect copyright.PENANAtyLbs61M6y
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,
45Please respect copyright.PENANATrT4QH1dbI
I couldn't let either the distressed mother and the baby owl go, so i had to show her that I mean no harm,
45Please respect copyright.PENANADcuxNmCDWl
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.
45Please respect copyright.PENANAazA2T8G3XT
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,
45Please respect copyright.PENANAw6TudLqpJA
The baby owl's chest had been busted with the impact it seems, and I quickly put the solution on it,
45Please respect copyright.PENANAxPcQoHK59r
The baby hissed in pain as the mother had shrieked loudly at hearing her baby's pained noise,
45Please respect copyright.PENANAVBZSWLhLpd
I scowled as I quickly decided to call Cian,
45Please respect copyright.PENANA8MFb0vOBzd
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,
45Please respect copyright.PENANAaBwUvAFq4O
From the first ring, Cian had picked up right away,
45Please respect copyright.PENANAoiK1srL1gT
"My love"
45Please respect copyright.PENANAbFRBTEbHli
His voice sounded relieved,
45Please respect copyright.PENANArlUD8a5HL6
And I tried my best to not let my voice break,
45Please respect copyright.PENANAb1ImvWb6yw
"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"
45Please respect copyright.PENANAk8juQhRsT3
As I finished, out of breath from the panic that had rushed in, Cian had softly whispered,
45Please respect copyright.PENANALE5BHGb0YE
"Expect us, my queen"
