"Just hot chocolate for now please," I said when the waitress came to take my order. It had been a while since I had met Bea so I'm kinda excited to see her again. Since I was reciprocating until now, I refrained myself from going out even to school. I'm still using crutches but I am now mostly healed enough to walk on my own but when I need something that requires me to go outside, Rahu helps me out or Dad comes to visit. That's why today, I came out on my own to meet Bea after such a long time since she was also busy and couldn't visit me. Truth be told, Rahu was still worried about my condition especially because I'm pregnant as well. That's also why I purposely didn't tell him I was leaving, knowing that he'd worry too much when he didn't really need to.

I looked around the cafe and I smiled, being happy that I am finally able to breathe outdoor air and it's very refreshing for me who really enjoyed spending time in places like this. Anyway, there is still 20 minutes before the meeting time so I had decided to have some drink for now and enjoy the moment. I'll just listen to Rahu's scolding later when I get home.

"Oh, please give them coffee as well," I added after I remembered I have my bodyguards with me today—three of them to be exact. I understand that Rahu's only concern about my safety at the moment but I just don't understand why he had to have three of them follow me. He had always been very protective of me but he got a lot worse these days. Maybe it's an Alpha thing since I'm his mate and I'm currently with a child.

"What kind of coffee?" The waitress asked, preparing to write the order on her ledger. I thought for a second but I don't really know what my bodyguards would want.

"Hmm. I'm not really sure. Can you ask them what they want instead? I'll pay for their orders, tell them it's okay to order anything they want," I said instead because I'm afraid they wouldn't like what I order so it was better to ask them themselves. Besides, if it's just this then I can definitely afford it since I don't want to rely on Rahu's money when it's not necessary. The waitress nodded to my request and soon excused herself going to the table I was pointing at. I looked from a distance and it looked like the three men didn't want to order as they were shaking their hands and heads as if saying they didn't want anything. The three of them then looked in my direction but I just smiled at them hoping that my expression conveyed that I really want them to order what they like as well. It would also be rude to take up a whole table without ordering anything from the cafe.

Thankfully, it seemed like they understood and I could visibly see them sigh as they gave up. Seeing that they finally ordered, I smiled again and finally shifted my attention to the glass window beside me, overlooking the view of people bustling by the sidewalk as they paced towards their own destinations.

It didn't take long before I got my hot choco and began to sip on it, moaning in satisfaction. I looked at my guards and they seemed to have their orders as well and began to enjoy it as I did and I smiled again. I looked at my watch and saw that 15 minutes had already passed but there was still no sign of Bea.

"I should just text her for now. Maybe she's still on her training and will be a little late," I mumbled to myself. I began to type on my screen however as I was doing so, my eyes started spinning. I blinked a few times thinking maybe I was just feeling tired but that was not it. I could feel my heartbeat picking up a pace and my breathing suddenly became too difficult. At this point, I couldn't help feeling nervous so I looked in the direction of my bodyguards hoping I could ask for help but I was stunned to see that all three of them were knocked down on the table.

As my view began to darken, I saw a familiar figure in a hoodie approach me. He was smiling and whispered something to me as my head fell on my table.
