The Mighty She-wolf of King novel Chapter 44

She didn't recognize the woman on the other side of the mirror. Her dark hair was full of wavy curls, her eyes were a dark shade of gray, cheeks we're a healthy pink tone and she glowed. Blake was so used to herself looking tired with bags under her eyes from not sleeping well. Her hair was always flat and her cheeks never looked pink but pale, like her life was being sucked out of her. But today she looked alive.

Alive.

That single word pained her heart, leaving an ache that nearly brought tears in her eyes but she couldn't. She had to be strong. The Hunt was just four days away and Blake could already feel her body become weaker. It all started the day she hit Eric that day and 'nearly' killed him. The ache in her shoulder bothered her sometimes but she tried not to show it. There was so much to do and so little time she didn't know if she could do all that she wanted before time ran out.

With a sigh, Blake left the bathroom and returned to her room to still find His Majesty sleeping. She smiled while holding in a laugh. Last night he wouldn't let her go and the moment she wanted to get up he made sure that she stayed in bed. Even when she asked for water he got up to get it to only then start 'lovemaking' again. And when she had to go to the bathroom he would carry her leaving kisses until they reached the bathroom. He even wanted to be in there with her while she peed and that's when she had to put a foot down, so he waited for her outside and then carry her again to the room and continue their 'lovemaking'. She didn't even know if it would ever stop until she woke up just a moment ago. The poor man tired himself out.

Blake moved to her desk, finding her hair tie and glasses. Quickly making taking her hair tie and tying her hair in a messy high bun, she put her glasses and stared at His Majesty. His lower half was covered with her blanket revealing his V line. She honestly wanted to pull the blanket away to see his entire naked body but found herself staring at his ads, his chest, and then his face. He had his hand above his head and the other resting on his chest.

The first thought in her head was 'peace'. From the moment she saw him on her doorstep yesterday and today, he looked like a whole different person and seeing that made her happy. She didn't know why but it made her happy.

A knock at the back door in the kitchen spooked Blake a little until she saw Seth smiling at her through the small window. Rolling her eyes, " What is it, Seth?"

"You were not in the office as usual so I came to check on you but the doors were locked."

"As it should be and I had gone to bed late last night, as you can see I just woke up. Why are you over," Blake was a bit annoyed. She had told Seth once before not to return to her house until he was given an invitation which he did not have one so I meant that something was going on. And frankly, Blake didn't want to deal with it at this moment. She just wanted some coffee and maybe head back to bed before she set her mind on doing something for the day.
