Rania felt like she was in and out of a dark water. Her consciousness came and went, leaving her in this dark silence. She tried to move her body, yet there was a numbness, which left her thinking she had none.

She was only a soul, without a body, wandering around between her unconsciousness and the reality.

However, this darkness chipped in her memories one by one. Little by little, until she had nothing left. Not even her name.

And suddenly, there was this heavy voice filled with regret and pain, calling out for her. Calling the name that she almost forgot.

Rania.

Rania.

Rania.

Come back to me.

There was a silver thread that she saw. It was very thin, she wouldn’t be able to see it if her surrounding was not pitch dark. And when Rania touched it, she was yanked back.

There was a sudden force that hurled her, and when she opened her eyes, she still saw the darkness, but it was not the same. She still could figure out the shape of things around her.

She was inside a room; an infirmary room, and someone was holding her tightly. His body was very warm, he was very close, and the tingling feeling that she felt from him was comfortable.

She felt… safe.

“It’s okay, you are, okay now,” he said gently, but his voice was on edge.

Who was this? Rania tried to look at his face, but she couldn’t figure out who was the man, who held her because the pain suddenly burst in her head, and she had a hard time to think.

Yet, her body was very weak, she couldn’t even ask for help.

Had you ever trapped inside a nightmare and couldn’t wake up? That was how Rania felt right now. She couldn’t even tell him how much her head was in pain, as if it was going to explode.

He kept holding her, rocking her back and forth, but he was not aware of the pain she was in.

It hurts…

The pain is too much…

Rania whimpered in her head, but she couldn’t tell him.

In the end, when the pain was unbearable for her, she let the darkness to claim her, taking her to that wandering state once again.

Maximus watched Rania’s pale face. She was sleeping now. Her body had stopped shivering, and a layer of sweat form on her forehead. She breathed deeply.

In the end, he couldn’t bring himself to stay away from her any longer. Let her hate him. Let her try to kill him, he didn’t care more.

He didn’t care about this kingdom anymore. He only wanted her.

This must be the longest period of time he had been away from his mate ever since he found her.

“Rania…” Maximus leaned over and kissed her lips gently, they were cold, but her breath was warm against his cheeks. “Hate me all you want, but let me be selfish for one last time. Let me stay with you.”

Maximus nibbled on her lip, and hugged her a little bit tighter, so he could feel her heart beating, knowing she was alive.
