When King Lucien pulled Danika into a hug, blanketing her into his strong arm, everything suddenly felt right in the world when she got over her shock from the gesture.
She allowed her wet eyes to slid close and she wrapped her arms around him. It's been four weeks she'd been in his arms. Four excruciating week of pain and misery.
She closed her eyes and tightened her arms around him. It doesn't matter if this moment is fleeting... If he regains back his senses and pushes her away...

In the meantime, she was shown to her room which was decorated and well equipped specifically for her. She'd spent her afternoon and evening walking around the palace, just looking around.

Danika placed her hand into hers, and she helped her up from the ground. "Thank you so much for your help, Princess Kamara. I appreciate." Danika said sincerely. She never expected this at all. Kamara waved her off. "Oh, stop with the 'Princess Kamara', not from your mouth too. I get sick and tired of hearing it sometimes." "Oh..." She doesn't know what to say to that.

His ribs felt like they've been roasted in a hot blazing fire. His pain, he can always deal with on his own in private...in silence. But now, Declan needs him. Declan needs him now. He bit back a growl as he got up from the ground and walked to the bars of the cage that adjoined his present cage with Declan's cage. "Hey..." He growled out. Declan opened his eyes and stirred. Lucien can see that he wasn't really sleeping, he was just forcing himself. At twenty-one, Declan has developed a very bad case of insomnia. Just like every other slave. Some worst than the others.

It has too. It's making her too tired lately, and she doesn't want Baski to know. She does her best to hide it from her...from everyone. Her sickness. Her pain. Her emotional wreckage. She just has to keep being strong both for herself and these two females she has come to care for. She stared at Remeta and Sally who was sleeping beside her, quite oblivious of the world. She watched their labored breathing. Finally, she got up from the bed when she's sure that sleep has really eluded her. She might as well go outside and get some fresh air. She put on her sleeping robe and walked out of the bedroom. O

To Danika, it felt like ages since the king brought her here before. When he lowered himself to the wooden chair, she sat beside him, putting some distance between them. They stared out of the river. In the middle of the night, the water was almost still. There were so many waves, no tumbling. Just the beautiful sight of water beneath the dark clouds of the night. Then, he wrapped a strong arm around her and pulled her closer to him. He lowered his head on her shoulder and closed his eyes. "Let us be like this... Just for tonight." He groaned.

He'd told her about his late Cousin. He'd sat with her and let her put her hands on him. He'd put his head on her belly...Her hands rose and pressed on her stomach, her face glowing.
