Throughout the day, Emeriel awoke twice, but only briefly to eat before returning to slumber.
On both occasions, she cried out in pain, prompting Aekeira to be grateful that her sister’s awakenings were short-lived.
Aekeira pleaded with Madam Livia to administer a stronger pain reliever to Emeriel, but the woman insisted that additional doses would only harm her further.
In the afternoon, Lord Vladya visited, but Emeriel was still asleep, leaving only Aekeira in attendance. “He is not awake yet, my Lord,” Aekeira informed him.
Lord Vladya tilted his head to the side, “When he awakes and is well enough, tell him to come to Blackstone. I would like to see him.”
“Yes, my Lord,” Aekeira avoided his gaze, keeping her head lowered. There was just something in this grand lord’s eyes that made her feel apprehensive and nervous.
Something strange had happened to the previous night. Aekeira abruptly shut the door on it, refusing to dwell upon it.
Emeriel finally woke during the night. After Aekeira fed her, Madam Livia had Amie prepare a basin for Emeriel to bathe in the room instead of going out to the river.
Following the bath, Aekeira noticed that Emeriel appeared better than she had been all day.
“How do you feel now?” Aekeira asked, once they had settled Emeriel back onto the bed.
“Better,” Emeriel replied with a soft, sad smile. “For a moment there, I was beginning to think I would not make it.”
Guilt filled Aekeira’s eyes as she said, “I am so sorry about—”
Emeriel’s hands grasped hers, interrupting her. “Do not blame yourself, sister. It was not your fault. Do not punish yourself for something beyond your control.”
Just then, Madam Livia entered once again. Her expression softened as she looked at Emeriel. “You’re awake.”
“Yes, madam. Thank you so much for taking care of me. I do not know what I would have done without you,” Emeriel expressed sincerely.
Madam Livia waved her off. “Do not fret over it. How do you feel now?”
“I feel better, madam. Thank you.”
“I do not understand why that beast is so interested in you, Em,” Aekeira pondered aloud.
When all eyes turned to her, she averted her gaze. “I had my suspicions that first night I was sent to him.
You touched my arm before I went in, and it was particularly fixated there.”
Madam Livia interjected, “Those vicious scratches. I wondered what caused them.”
Emeriel exhaled shakily, “I have no idea, Keira. None of it makes sense to me. Not the heat, not the beast’s actions, and not the siren thing. Nothing at all.”
Aekeira was confused. “What are you talking about?”
