Chapter Forty-nine

[Malia’s POV]

Slowly, my eyes opened and I woke up to see the Alpha King staring at me with wide eyes, and I spotted his lips grow into a smile the moment he saw I was awake.

I forced a smile at him, shifting uneasily in the bed I could tell wasn’t mine, and as my eyes darted all over, it was clear that I was in the infirmary and that was when I remembered suddenly being overcome by extreme dizziness and I could recall collapsing as a result of it.

“You’re awake, my Luna,” the Alpha said, squeezing my hands warmly.

Although weak, I managed to sit up and he helped me out, then tucked away a strand of shiny auburn hair from my face.

“I’m sorry to have caused you so much worry, Tee. Tell me, how long was I out?” I asked.

“Just a few hours, but it’s all good. The worry you caused me only lasted for a few minutes and it has been replaced with great news,” he said, with more excitement than he had possessed in the last couple of years.

“What do you mean?” I inquired, filled with curiosity.
