A completely wet feeling overcame my whole body, just like something had been poured on me. I instantly woke up to see that Zephyr had poured water on me.
I tried to wipe off as much water as I could from my face so that my vision would clear up, and when it did, I saw that Zephyr was fully dressed and had a grave look on his face.
He threw me some clothes. "Go get ready quickly," he ordered, and I wasted no time in obeying him. I took the clothes and tried to get up from the bed, despite the fact that I was still naked, but I found that I couldn't even stand properly.
My leg muscles betrayed me, and I fell back down on the bed on my butt. "What are you waiting for? I said, get in the bathroom," he barked. I wanted to tell him that I couldn't walk because I was still so sore underneath, so I was experiencing terrible cramps, but of course, I couldn't.
He sighed and ran a hand through his hair before moving to where I sat on the bed. I thought he was going to drag me to the bathroom, but he didn't. I felt him lift me up and carry me towards the bathroom in his arms, bridal style.
'But how did he know what I wanted to say?' I asked Tara. "He's not drunk anymore, so I was able to communicate with Kieran, his wolf, and I told him our problem. Kieran in turn told Zephyr," she told me, and I sighed.
We were almost at the bathroom when I realized that I was completely naked in his arms, so I blushed and tried to cover myself, but he stopped me. "Don't try to hide from me, stop pretending like I haven't already seen everything," he said coldly, and I stopped.
He kicked the bathroom door open and gently placed me in the bathtub, and this left me more puzzled than relieved. Why was he suddenly being so nice to me? Had he finally started acknowledging me as his mate? No, I shouldn't get my hopes up. He's the same man who was so terrible to me last night. He not only beat me up badly, but he also raped me mercilessly as well, not even caring about my feelings. And if he really had managed to change overnight, which was still in doubt, why didn't he wake me up like a normal person would? Why did he have to pour water on me and order me around so rudely? One nice act surely can't cancel out a thousand bad deeds.
