“You need to eat,” she said. You’ll need your strength.” My stomach growled as soon as the aroma hit my nose. “Thank you,” I said, lifting the cover. It was a bowl of steaming beef stew, and a hot buttered roll. I immediately took it to the bed and started eating. The meat was tender, like biting into soft butter. “Will it be alright if Thomas and Dom come to see you?” she asked. “They’ve been very worried.” I nodded. “Sure. How’s Alex doing?” “He’s stable. We will have to wait another day or two to be sure he’s out of danger, but he’s holding on. Luckily, Lucian missed his heart, but the immortal blade did a lot of damage.” I nodded sadly. “I’ll let the others know they can come up in a bit. You finish your dinner.” She gave me a small smile and closed the door on her way out.
