THE WARRIOR QUEEN

CHAPTER 25: POISON 2

It did not take long for Luca to be back with the doctor and my supposed family came right after, but I just had my eyes closed, not wanting to talk to anyone. But it seems Queen Nuria didn't get the point as I could feel her approach me, she sat beside me on my bed making me crack my eyes opened.

"Hi" she said quietly.

"Hi"

"How are you feeling?" she asked.

"Tired" I said smiling, trying to be nice and she nodded.

"I have a new dress in the rest room for you to change into, it was too chaotic when you were brought in here" she said, her hand hovering over mine but she put it back on her laps and I nodded before moving my eyes to Luca who stood brooding by the side. His eyes were on mine, and he seem to have a calculating look on his face which bothered me.

I need to do something about this vile, it is making me scared and jumpy.

Luca asked them to leave and give me space and that was when I noticed that the man who helped me the other day standing by the door quietly, I don't even know his name yet, well our stay has been chaotic, there was really no time to mingle.

Thinking about it again, the moment Luca came into my life, drama followed. My peaceful and boring life which was filled with work and spending time with Mary turned into getting almost killed various times, and this is when people haven't even realized I am his mate, I wonder how long I'll last if people found out.

No wonder Luca kept me hidden, but I'm still mad at him, he could have told me, and we would have kept it a secret together.

The room was now cleared and Luca just stood by the wall and still kept looking at me brooding, I just rolled my eyes at him and tried to stand up to change but I was so weak, and I'm scared not to open my stitches. I was thinking Luca would try to help me, but he just stood there watching with unreadable eyes.

I sighed.

"Can you please help me to the restroom?" I asked looking at him like I should throw something on his head.

He nodded and strolled casually to me and helped me carefully stand without saying a word to me. He walked me to the restroom and help me unbutton all the button holding my clothes and I discreetly adjusted the vile well into my bra pad.

"Can you wear the dress yourself?" he asked, his voice hoarse.

"Yes, thank you" I said and he sighed before walking out. I wonder what is wrong with him.

I heard the sound of something landing on the roof, and I'm sure that was Orion, ready for our departure. I took time wearing my dress so I don't hurt myself and when I was done, I folded the dirty dress and placed it by the tub.

I walked out back to the room and Luca was already waiting by the door.

"Luca" I called.

"Hmm" he hummed.

"I didn't mean to walk out, I didn't even realize I've gone out of my safety zone" I explained in a quiet tone.

"I'm not mad at you because of that" he said.

"So you are mad at me" I said raising my brows and he scoffed before shaking his head, opening his hands wide, inviting me in.

I gulped before moving close to him and hugging him back, he rested his head on mine.

"You know I am a king right?" he asked and I hummed at his rhetorical question, enjoying the smell of me. The hug was soft and I didn't even know I needed it.
