Chapter 149: 149. Too Early

A soft knock resounded in the dark room but Jael did not stir even though his eyes were wide open as he lay in the darkness. "Sire," the voice tried again but Jael did not answer. After a couple of seconds, the servant gave up and left.

Jael turned so he had his back to the bed and ran his hands through his hair. He had barely gotten any sleep. His head ached and his eyes felt very heavy. The top it all up there was a nasty taste in his mouth and he knew it was probably because he did not eat before going to bed.

He threw his legs over the bed as he sat upright. He had stayed in bed hoping he would fall asleep at some point but he did not. He had to stop himself several times from going to see Mauve because he knew he would not be able to handle the situation she was in.

There was still a while before Damon would get here, he hoped they would make it back in time. He placed his head in his palm as he groaned loudly. He hated how helpless he was, how all he could do in the situation was wait and hope.

Another knock but it sounded different this time. Jael knew why, Kieran was behind the door. He didn't say a word. He just waited, hoping Kieran would leave. He knew he wasn't in any state to see anyone.

The sound of the door caused Jael to look at the door. "What do you want?" He yelled.

"It's time for the first meal and since you didn't eat before sunrise, I'd advise you join…"

"How is she?" He asked.
