CHAPTER 61

The following morning when I woke up felt Jackson's body still flush against mine.I moved around a little bit so he flipped me over so that my head was on his chest and he started rubbing my back.

"What made you come back last night?" Jackson asked.

"I couldn't sleep.And I could see that you couldn't either.Without getting pissed drunk, of course." I say.

"Have you been talking to Wyatt?" He asked, looking down at me.

"I could feel it, remember. You were making me sick too." I say looking up at him.

And he had a guilty look on his face.

"I'm sorry. I didn't think about that." He says.

And I put my head back down to his chest.

"Does this mean I'm forgiven?" He asked.

" Not quite. But you're on your way." I say.

"Good.Glad to hear that...Why hasn't your eye gone down? It's still really swollen."

He says moving my hair out of the way, "I think it's the wolfsbane.It might not knock me out but I think it still stays in my system and doesn't allow me to heal quickly." I say.

"When the hunters were attacking.You took several darts." He says.

And I nodded my head.I knew what he was thinking about that attack and he didn't feel guilty.

He was getting angry, not upset.He wanted to go after those hunters.

Because they were actually hurting me.

More than we realized that they were.

When we got up we went to the kitchen to get breakfast and whoever was in the packhouse seemed happy that I was here this morning.

They had to have known that I would be back eventually.

So the cook made up a good breakfast and we sat in the dining room.

Afterwards we could hear the warriors outside training but Jackson didn't want to go out there and observe today.

He's done enough of that for a lifetime.So we headed to his office but we were interrupted when the doorbell went off.So Jackson walked over and opened the door and stood there like a statue for a moment.
