The Southern Queen,

Chapter 15

CLEO'S MEMORY

Both the man in front of me and my wolf utter that word and soon all the people around us began to bow their heads while on their knees and they shouted.

"HAIL TO THE QUEEN!"

I can't take this anymore. I feel dizzy and then I saw darkness.

When I woke up, I struggle to try and open my eyes, but my eye lids seem to be so heavy. I stop trying when I heard someone who seems to be in deep argument.

"What is wrong with her? Why isn't she waking up?"

The voice asked. Shiver runs down through my spine just hearing his voice and I don't know why. At least I don't remember why.

"There is nothing wrong with her your highness. She is completely healthy."

Another voice said whom I presume to be the doctor. 

"Then Why isn't she waking up? It's been a month since she loses consciousness."

The voice said. Frustration can be heard in his voice and just by hearing him get frustrated my wolf wanted to go and comfort him. Which is impossible by now because I can't even open my eyes.

"I assume it is more on a mental and emotional aspect your highness. Part of her, don't want to wake up anymore and that part of her has a strong will. I suggest you stay by her side and convince her wolf to stay with you and wake up."

The doctor said. I heard the man take a deep breath and then I heard footsteps coming towards me. My heartbeat increases and I smelled a very intoxicating smell. The man just stood beside me and then I felt his hand touch my cheek. Electricity curse through me.

" Wake up, My Queen your king is waiting for you."

My wolf hops up and down inside of me.

"Yeah, come on Cleo wake up. Our mate is waiting for us."

Arah, my wolf said to me. I tried to open my eyes again and slowly I succeeded. As I open my eyes, I saw the most beautiful golden eyes I ever saw. He looked at me like as if I wasn't real. He tried to blink several times before a big smile crept to his lips. His smile took my breath away. It's like I can live just by seeing him smile.

" Your awake."

 I tried to sit on the bed. He helped. My body is too heavy. I was sleeping but it seems like I don't have energy at all.

"Careful."

He said. I felt like I walked in the dessert for month. My throat is so dry. He stood up and get some water in the glass. Like as if he can read my mind. I gladly accepted it and drink its content. I don't need to ask how long I passed out because I already know it was a month.

" How are you feeling?"

He asked. I looked at him and then, I remembered everything. Pain surge to my heart. My tears are threatening to fall once again but I fought those tears. I don't want my mate to see me in mess.

"Where's my family?

His happiness faded and I can smell doubt in him. He's doubted if it's fine to tell me.

"I know they are dead. What I want to know is what happened to their remains."

My statement seems to do the work.
