“For now, keep striving for it,” the woman encouraged as I began to drift off. “Soon…Mommy will be able to help, too.”
Mommy…
Oddly enough, I was excited to speak to her one day. Knowing she’d be back intrigued my levels of curiosity, but would she stay?
Would the world let her stay in my life?
I never got an answer, my consciousness fading again as time ticked away.
When my consciousness began to return, I heard the soft hymns of a song. The melody was sad at first, the minor key contributing to the soothing ballad that reminded me of a song one would sing in the heart of the church. The second half began to build into an uplifting melody, a song that encouraged you to watch the first rays of sunshine after an intense rainstorm.
I opened my eyes at the final note, catching the sight of Saint’s wonderful blue eyes as they twinkled calmly while his blond strands hung downward. He peered into my sleepy eyes, and what a smile he gave before closing the distance between us and lightly kissing my lips.
“Good morning, Blossoming Flower,” he greeted softly. “You’ve been asleep for one hundred years.”
I had to pout at the possibility, but then I was grinning like a fool.
“What?” he inquired. “You’re happy you’ve been asleep for so long?”
“Ya,” I croaked and grinned further at his confusion. “That means your dumb ass loves me enough to wait a hundred years.”
He blinked a few times while I just giggled, and he slowly pouted his lips.
“You know…I didn’t fucking think like that at all,” he whined. “Welp. You’re awake now. Let’s go take over the world.”
That had me laughing before he sealed my lips with a solid kiss.
“How are you feeling?” Saint asked as he helped me slowly sit up. “You were asleep when I finished cleaning Roberto up so I went to get you something to eat. You haven’t been asleep for long.”
“Less than one hundred years I hope,” I teased, and there was his silly grin.
“Minus ninety-nine years,” he summed up, “And eight thousand, seven hundred, and fifty-nine hours.”
“Ah,” It only took me a sec to get to the total. “One hour of sleep. Not bad.”
“Mathematician,” he commented.
“I like money,” I reasoned. “When you like money, you at least wanna make sure you can count it and not get scammed.”
“Good point,” he agreed. “But first, food. The others suck at getting food in you.”
I gasped in horror. “Neo, Onyx, and Milo would hate you for such a declaration. Well, and Dimitris because he’d say he’s Alpha and that would be the end of it.”
Saint chuckled. “Of course. When you’re Alpha, you surely have to care about your pack members.” I caught onto the sarcasm in his voice, and I was sure we both knew that if you had an Alpha that cared about you, the pack was a blessing on earth.
Saint kissed my temple and lifted me up with ease as he rose up and turned around to lower me back onto the sofa in a sitting position.
“After you eat, you can go back to sleep if you like,” Saint reasoned as he brought over a tray on wheels that held the large tray of food. “Jayce is nearby so if you want to ditch and go to Neo’s place, we can.”
“Viktor’s still sleeping?” I inquired.
“Yup. I think he’s going to be out for the night. You two are supposed to lay off the magic, remember?”
“Tell that to my enemies hitting me left and right.” I sighed. “I feel a bit wired.”
“Why?” Saint inquired as he slipped around the tray so he could sit next to me and begin setting up the table. “Did you have a nightmare?”
“No,” I admitted. “It didn’t feel like a nightmare. To be honest, it felt real,” I began, then needed a moment to think about it. “I could have been dreaming, but my mom was here. I think it was her.”
