Ngusoi picked Oon up and carried him to the master bathroom before gently lowering him to his feet. It was the largest bathroom Oon had ever seen, the floor and bath surround looked like imported calacatta marble, a pale grey veined with gold.

You had to step up to reach a large sunken tub in white with gold coloured fitments and as Oon's eyes scanned around the room he saw a large corner shower with a very tall and lush plant beside it then there was a double sink.

Beside that was a toilet and on the other side of the room was a sofa upholstered with expensive looking cream coloured fabric and scatter cushions in gold damask and a small table stood in front of it.

More smaller plants were placed in strategic places around the room to give it a splash of colour then Oon looked up and saw a large skylight which made up most of the ceiling, the stars clearly visible through the pristine glass.

"sit down and let me help you take your boots off" Ngusoi said.

"I'm not sitting on that sofa in these clothes" Oon replied.

"Oon, don't be silly, it's just a sofa" Ngusoi said.

"yeah, a sofa that would probably cost me a whole year's salary, I'll just sit on the floor" Oon replied.

"Oon for heaven's sake ... ok, fine just sit wherever you feel comfortable" Ngusoi said and watched as Oon limped across to the marble step before carefully lowering himself down onto it.

He couldn't help thinking of his modest room back at the pack house in Thailand, even if he didn't have his little problem down below, this was a perfect example of just how mismatched they were.

The goddess had to have made a mistake, they were chalk and cheese and Oon felt so stupid for looking down on Ngusoi when they had been back at the cave, even Raz didn't live like this and his family were loaded.

Ngusoi knelt before him and began to unfasten the boot laces, just the slight release of pressure made Oon's foot start to throb more.

"I'm sorry baby" Ngusoi said as he slipped the boot of his good foot first and then he moved to the injured foot.

Oon sucked in his breath as Ngusoi slipped off the boot and blood began to rush back into the swollen flesh. 

"ahh fuck" Oon cursed.

The dressings that Ngusoi had applied last night were red with blood and the blood had seeped through Oon's thick socks.

"sit here baby, I'm going to draw you a bath first ... I'm wondering if I should just call a doctor?"

"I'll be fine Ngusoi, I just need a bath and some pain killers then plant me on a bed and I'll be good" Oon said.

"are you sure?" Ngusoi asked.

"positive, I've had worse than this during training" Oon said.

"training? ah of course you must be part of a pack, I forget being alone ... so your boss, is he a wolf too?" Ngusoi asked.

"I shouldn't really discuss other people"

"I understand ... I'm envious Oon, you don't know how lucky you are to have a place where you feel like you belong" Ngusoi said.

'mmm not if they knew the truth about me' Oon thought to himself.

Ngusoi ran the bath and added some antiseptic bath wash to the water before turning bath to Oon and telling him his bath was ready.

"ok, thanks" Oon replied not moving.

"well ... aren't you going to get in, you've been nagging me for the past several hours about getting in the bath"
