“No.” I said instantly. I did not want him touching me right now. Joaquin and Noah looked at me with suspicion.
“I will do it.” Vincent offered, silently lifting me into a bridal-like hold, cradling me in his arms and resting my head against his chest. “Shall I call someone to help her change when she is back in her room?” Vincent asked.
“I will call someone.” Noah answered firmly, taking out his phone.
Vincent walked quickly. Off the platform, across the clearing, and through the trees. Before I knew it, we were already entering the house. I was surprised that I had not fallen asleep yet, my body just felt so very weak, but I guess I wasn’t actually tired.
Vincent walked quickly through the house and to my room. He shifted me quickly in his arms to hold me one handed so he could open the door. As soon as he was inside, he quickly shut the door, basically slamming it in Leslie’s face.
“Hey!” I heard Leslie shout from the other side.
Vincent carried me to the bed and laid me gently in the middle of it.
“Rest here and wait for whoever is coming to assist you. I will stand guard at your door.”
“But I am not under house arrest anymore.” I reminded him.
“This is not to keep you in, Luna, but to keep other people out.” His voice was strained as he was glaring at the door. I looked at it as well, thinking of Leslie standing on the other side.
“Thank you, Vincent.” I said, putting all my emotions into the few words.
“No thanks necessary, Luna.” He insisted, dropping to one knee and bowing his head just like the crowd in the forest had.
“You’re the best guard I could ask for.” I told him honestly.
“Thank you, Luna.” He smiled, flipping that gratitude around on me.
Vincent stood up then and left the room. I could just barely make out the conversation from the other side of the door. That alone told me that Vincent and Leslie were both speaking with slightly raised voices.
“You can go now.” Vincent barked.
“No, I’m her guard the same as you.” Leslie whined.
“She only needs one to guard the door.”
“Then you leave.” Leslie demanded.
“Why? What makes you so special?” Leslie questioned him.
“Because you make her uncomfortable.” Vincent told him flatly.
“That’s ridiculous.” Leslie scoffed.
“No, you overstepped your bounds. You need to back off or you will reap the consequences of your actions. I will not tell you again, Leslie, go home.” Vincent commanded him.
“Fine, but this isn’t the end.” Leslie declared.
“Then make sure you change your attitude and behavior.” Vincent told him.
“Yeah, yeah.” Leslie grumbled.
The hallway became silent after that. After a few moments, the door opened yet again. Peter, the elderly butler-like man that usually brought me my food entered with my Aunt, Nikki and Vincent, he was also carrying a tray.
“Good evening Luna. I have brought you some juice and a plate of cookies. The sugar will help you to get some quick, temporary energy back.”
“Thank you, Peter.” I said as he placed the tray on my table. He then inclined his head in a quick bow before leaving the room.
“Are you alright?” Aunt Eve asked me.
“The marking has taken a great deal of energy out of her. I’m sure you ladies remember the fire that rages in the body from the marking. Well I would gather that the fire might be more intense when marked by the Alpha.” Vincent answered for me.
“Yes, the fire was so painful.” Nikki agreed, nodding her head.
“What do you need?” Aunt Eve asked, looking at Vincent.
“We called you back here to ask if you ladies would be willing to help the Luna prepare for bed. She is not capable of changing on her own tonight.”
“Oh! Yes, of course.” Aunt Eve answered with a hint of shock.
“Thank you, ladies.” Vincent bowed his head before leaving the room.
Aunt Eve and Nikki got right to work. They each went to untie one of the gladiator-style sandals. Then they worked together to unbutton and slide the dress from my body. Nikki hurried to the bathroom to fetch a washcloth while Aunt Eve took the hair combs from my hair.
“Should I take the braid out as well? I know you used to leave them in quite often.”
“You can leave it. It keeps the hair out of my face.” I said with a slight giggle in my voice. Nikki came back then and started gently washing the make-up from my face while Aunt Eve went to my dresser to find something for me to sleep in.
I truly hated being doted on like this. But I knew I had no other choice. I could barely move on my own.
