“Roy?!” Kimberly gasped as she stared in shock at her mate. Her mind was playing tricks on her, she concluded, shutting her eyes once again.

'This is another hallucination, Kim. Don’t get your hopes up' she internally said to herself, getting herself prepared for another round of disappointment.

She opened her eyes once more, and to her greatest surprise, Roy was still there, just inches away from her.

“Kimberly” he called, oh so gently, bringing tears to her eyes.

‘Could this be real?’ she wondered, slowly stretching out her arm, in attempt to touch him.

She flinched away when her fingers lightly touched his arm, not wanting to believe that this is real.

It took her a few seconds to actually believe that it was indeed real, and the minute she accepted it, she engulfed him in a tight hug, with uncontrollable tears rolling down her face. Roy winced from the impact of the hug, getting her worried. She immediately pulled away from the hug and nervously asked

“Are you okay? Did I hurt you?”

“It’s not you” he replied in that mesmerizing voice of his.

“What happened?” she cupped his face in her hands, staring into those captivating grey orbs.

“I was attacked by some hunters last night while searching for you”

“Oh my God!” she panicked, wondering why he hasn’t completely healed like he used to.

“Wait here. I’ll go get a first aid kit” she worriedly said, stepping away from him to get the first aid kit, but she didn’t go far, as his strong hand held her wrist, stopping her.

“That’s not why I'm here” he calmly said

“First, let me attend to your wound, then you can tell me whatever you want to” she countered, her eyes pleading with him to let her take care of him for once.

“I'll be fine. You know that”

“Okay” she said in defeat, knowing that he was right.

“I-I t-thought you d-died. I s-saw you fall off the cliff” Kimberly stuttered, finally realizing that it was indeed Roy, in flesh and blood.

“I didn’t. I was in a coma for a month, due to the severe injuries I sustained” he explained, finally clearing the air.

“And Hugh?” she nervously whispered, but got a deep growl from Roy which frightened her.

“I’m sorry” she wasted no time in apologizing, not wanting to face his wrath for enquiring after another man.

“He didn’t make it” Roy eventually replied after some minutes of awkward silence.

Kimberly couldn’t prevent the stray tears from rolling down her cheeks. Roy sighed at her reaction, ignoring the anger he was feeling from his mate crying over another werewolf.
