Draeko heard the scream of his wife inside the shower room. He frantically ran towards its door and was able to relax upon finding it unlocked. He opened it drastically and there he saw Grazziena lying on the wet floor of the shower, with blood gushing through her head. He cursed loudly as he saw her.
“Sweety,” he called her name while scooping her in his arms. He laid her body on the bed and checked her bleeding head.
“God, Sweety, hold on, I will call Lumaro,” he was frantic as he saw the big cut on Grazziena’s forehead, which probably bumped on the floor when she fell down.
He ran out of their room and when he saw a guard, he requested to find their Alpha and Luna and tell them to come to the guest room urgently because of an emergency situation.
“Ayie, Sir, I will. Please stay calm, whatever it is. I will run now and find them,” the guard said as he sprinted to find Lumaro and Leslie.
Draeko returned to the guest room and saw Grazziena’s head still bleeding but to his surprise, her big cut got smaller already and her lips started to be getting red again.
“Sweety, are you alright?” he asked hoping she could hear him. He held her hands gently and kissed them lovingly.
Draeko looked at Grazziena’s face again and her bleeding head. The cut was still there and the blood too but the cut was getting smaller and smaller to Draeko’s complete astonishment.
Alpha Lumaro and Luna Leslie arrived at the guest room, rushing.
“Draeko, what happened?” Leslie asked as she immediately walked towards the bed and checked Grazziena.
“I was surprised when she screamed then I found her lying on the floor with a big cut on her head and bleeding. But now, the cut is just like a line,” Draeko answered still astonished.
Lumaro smiled. “Draeko, you have to remember always, your wife is not an ordinary human; she is a werewolf with an Alpha blood. Her healing ability is twice faster than an ordinary wolf.”
Draeko looked at Lumaro, dumbfounded. Why did he forget that Grazziena is a she-wolf and not a pure human? Goodness, her Sweety could not that be hurt so easily, she may be hurt but she would heal so easily. After surmising what Lumaro had said, Draeko started to smile then laughed.
“Goodness, I did not know that she has that ability and you were right Lumaro, I forgot that my wife is not pure human.”
“Now, you know Draeko, so don’t you worry. She is just resting and her body is recuperating. When she wakes up, it is as if nothing happened,” Lumaro said grinning at Draeko.
“We need to stay here however to watch over her. We did not know the real reason yet why she suddenly fainted.” It was Leslie who already sat on the bed beside Grazziena’s head.

So, they stayed there to watch over Grazziena. After around thirty minutes of waiting while they were chatting, Grazziena slowly opened her eyes and immediately asked for water.
“Let me do it, Draeko,” Leslie offered as she opened the fridge inside the guest room and got bottled water therefrom.
“Sweety, what happened? I was so worried of you,” he said cuddling her but Grazziena just patted his right cheeks and smiled.
“I need water first, Sweety,” she murmured.
Both Lumaro and Leslie laughed out loud with Draeko overreacted again.
Laughing too, Draeko got the bottled water from Leslie, opened it, and gave it to Grazziena, who drank everything in it as if she had never tasted water for a year in her life.
“You seemed so thirsty, Sweety.”
Lumaro interrupted. “That is normal Draeko because her body exerted much energy in trying to heal its damaged part.”
“I am fine now. So don’t worry everyone and you Draeko, cool down, you are not getting any younger, you might get high blood pressure,” she said teasing now that made everyone burst in laughter again.
“Really, I’m old? Hmm, let me see tonight, I would prove how young am I still, Sweety, grrr,” Draeko said joking while hugging his wife tightly.
“By the way, Grazziena, what happened inside the shower room,” Leslie asked remembering the real reason why they rushed to the guest room.
Grazziena looked at them as she remembered what happened before she fainted.
“Lumaro, can you bring me to Thutaara?” she asked, instead of telling me what happened.
Lumaro furrowed. “Grazziena, would you want to kill yourself? We cannot just appear in front of her and if she will know that you are the daughter of Alpha Gregor and Luna Cressia, I do not know what she will do with you. No one here can defeat yet the power of that witch.”
“Listen, I cannot hide from her, I can sense it. She already visited me a while ago. That was the reason why I suddenly screamed and fainted,” Grazziena said without anymore divulging everything that she saw.
Lumaro fell silent. He and his father already talked about it a while ago as they themselves have hints that Thuthaara already felt Grazziena’s presence in Mt. Reveree.
“What are we going to do now, Lumaro?” Draeko asked with worries evidently shown on his handsome face.
“There is one thing that we can do, Grazziena. Father and I thought about it just a while ago,” Lumaro said but his voice did not sound so confident.
“What it is Lumaro?” It was Grazziena, who asked with eagerness to find a solution.
“Draeko, it is only Draeko who could help you.”
“What do you mean, Lumaro? How can I defeat that witch? I am human, I don’t even have any power,” Draeko said confused.
Grazziena’s mind suddenly lighted up, upon hearing Lumaro’s statement. She looked at Draeko smilingly and with glitters in her eyes.
