My eyes focused around a room. Not the room I was usually in, a different on. My eyes were slightly dry and I rubbed them trying to see clearly again. My muscles were sore, my lungs hurt, like they weren't being used.

I looked around at the room. Bowls and cups littered to one desk, and clothes were dropped around by the closet, yet to have a maid pick them up. I frowned in confusion. All maids cleaned every room.

Unless they weren't aloud in the room.

I looked down to see I was in pajamas and finally it all hit.

Father. He was dead.

Where was E?

"Daniel?" Mother cried out.

"Mother?" I said, my voice raspy and dry.

"Oh god, thank god you're awake Daniel. I can't believe you're finally awake."

"Where is E?"

"She's-"

"Don't I'll surprise her."

"Daniel no-"

"It's okay," I said slowly getting out of bed. " I want to surprise her."

"Daniel. Something happened." mother said slowly.

I froze. "Is she hurt?"

"No, no...It's Sam." she sighed and her hands began to shake. "He's been arrested for the murder for your father. She is very very upset. That's all I know. She came in early, and just left to her room crying. Word passed quickly." she whispered.

"Does Rachel?"

"No...I've been keeping her busy. All of the maids. The driver told me. It's on the down low until I can talk to her."

"I need to go see her." I said, heading to the door.

My mother didn't say anything, just nodded with a small smile on her face.

I hurried down to the room that Euphoria and I shared. I opened the door to see our room a little cleaner. Clothes were hung randomly, and shoes were kicked around. The bed was messy, when I realized she was laying in it sleeping.

Her pillow was stained with tears and some make up. Her eyes were puffy and she looked awfully pale. She looked thinner as well, her cheeks falling in and dark circles under her eyes.

My heart squeezed at her face as I scanned her.

"Daniel..." she whispered in her sleep, turning the other way. WHile she turned her hair moved, and I saw the nasty scar that went down her neck to her shoulder and instantly felt sick to my stomach. Me. I did that to her.

"Oh I...love I am so sorry." I whispered, tears pricking my eyes.

How long had it been? A week, a month?....A year? I prayed it wasn't a year. I wouldn't live with myself if it was.

I sat there watching her sleep for awhile. I touched her hand, and my body instantly responded, remember how much she held it when we were subconscious.

I shifted when she did, her skin glowing and the bright scar screaming at me.

My wolf was frenzied, he saw red, and Euphoria's wolf had gotten in the way. he didn't even recognize her. Now, she may not trust him like she had before.

"You need to be here for her now. When she needs you the most." I told myself.

I got up and got dressed, putting on some slacks and a dress shirt. I went out to the garden with a pair of scissors and maids and footmen looked at me in shock.
