Chapter 277: _What Happened In That Throne Room
My eyes fluttered open as I groggily sat up, looking around me. But when I tried sitting up, I realised I was back on my bed.
Or, more accurately, Kaelos’ bed...
But how?
The last thing I remember doing was staring... Staring at that pond in the garden.
A cold shiver ran down my spine when I remembered that voice before everything went black. Ryker. It was definitely Ryker.
"Well, good morning, sunshine." Kaelos’ deep voice cut my thoughts short, forcing me to swerve my head to the walk-in closet at the other side of the room.
He had a bright smile on his face and wore a stylish crimson red suit with golden embroidery lacing the collars and a silver snarling wolf head crest etched on his chest pocket.
I blinked, glancing down and realising I was dressed in a white night gown. No matter how hard I tried to remember last night and how I ended up here... Nothing came through.
"Your maid, Caroline. She came to me and told me you were in the gardens." Kaelos continued speaking just then, walking up to the large mirror in the room and adjusting his suit there. "I tried reaching you through the mate bond but... Well, you were asleep. Lying on the ground like you were trying to reconnect with nature."
I sighed, rubbing my right hand down my face, my face heating up with embarrassment.
Suddenly, I heard him walking toward me and stiffened a bit when his warm hand touched my shoulder.
"Odessa..." His voice was soft as he sat beside me. "I know you’re stressing out."
