The Lost Princess Of The Lycans Chapter 173: Emotional Moment
Sarahs POV
After getting out of the shower and dressed, we left the bathroom and settled in bed. When there was a knock at the door, Ray went to answer it. I heard Brittany's voice. Ray thanked her and then returned to bed. He handed me a pill and a drink of water. I took it, and he climbed into bed. He laid down and then pulled me close to him. I laid my head on his chest. It did not take me very long to fall asleep.
When I woke up several hours later, my whole body hurt. I had a massive headache. I know that was to be expected after my head got banged against the floor several times. Ray was still in bed sleeping. I tried to get up and go to the bathroom. But it hurt so bad that I let out a grasp in pain. He shot out of bed like a cannonball.
" Baby, what's wrong?" he asked.
" I was hurting, and I was trying to go to the bathroom," I stated.
" Let me help you," he stated.
He picked me up and carried me to the bathroom. He sat me down on my legs and then helped me pull my pants down. I was not wearing any underwear, so that was not an issue. I did my business, and he helped me pull my pants up. He then carried me back to bed. It was daylight outside. I looked at the clock, and it said it was one o'clock. We had slept almost all day.
" Babe, we need to go check on the pups," I stated.
" They are fine," he responded.
" I checked on them an hour ago," he stated.
That was a relief. I did not even feel him get up an hour ago. I was sure that I would have felt him move. But I was drugged up on morphine and pain pills. I laid back down for a while and could not go back to sleep. Ray was holding me and rubbing my arm up and down.
" I know you are awake, baby," he stated.
" I can not go back to sleep," I stated.
" Let's shower and see if that helps with the pain," he stated.
I knew Ray was not going to let me do anything today, so it was no use arguing with him. He carried me to the bathroom and sat me down on the toilet. He then started to adjust the water. He helped me get undressed. Then he helped me get into the shower. He did not join me.
" I'm going to go to the kitchen and get you something to eat," he stated.
" Thank you," I responded.
I then got in the shower and let the water run over my back. The water felt so good that I stayed under it long. I then let the water run over my head to help with the headache. I grabbed the body wash and washed my body. I rinsed off, got out of the shower, and grabbed the towel that Rays had sat on the toilet lid. I dried myself off and then went to the bedroom. I was looking in my bag for something baggy when I heard the bedroom door open.
I spun around and was ready to fight. It was just Ray. I was jumpy after last night. He shrugged his shoulders.
" It will be OK," he stated.
" When will it be OK?" I asked him.
I then sat down on the floor of the bedroom and started to cry again. I felt like every time, things were going well. I was getting knocked back down. He walked over to the table and set the food tray on it. He then walked over to where I sat on the floor and pulled me into his lap. I sat on his lap and cried. I was crying for the relief that I felt after being so brave. I was also crying because I made it through another horrific event in my life. I didn't know how much one person could take, but I can take a lot.
We sat on the floor for quite some time. When we finally got off the floor, it started to get dark again outside. I finally got dressed, and the food that he had brought me earlier was cold. He carried me back to bed and said he would get me some dinner. He took the old food with him and returned a few minutes later with a hot dinner. After eating, we went and checked on the pups. I hadn't seen them all day, and I miss them.
The nannies were bathing them. They had just had dinner. I sat in the bedroom with them for a while, rocking them and then putting them back in their playpen. We then returned to our bedroom. Ray went and took a shower and returned to bed wearing just shorts. I was still in a baggy T-shirt with no shorts on or pants.
" Babe. When are we going to have the trials?" I asked.
" Tomorrow morning," he responded.
" I will be in attendance," I stated.
" Are you sure you can handle that, babe?" he asked.
" You have been through so much," he said.
I didn't know if I could handle it or not, but I wanted to see who was going to be executed and who was on trial, to begin with, and I was going to beg Leeann to take her whipping so that way she could live and not be executed. I wanted her to be able to find a mate, settle down, and have children. So I was hoping to talk some sense into her, but the charges against her are pretty severe, and it all depends on whether Caleb will take my suggestion. Ray could order him, too, but I did not want that to happen. I wanted to support Caleb and whatever decision he chose to make.
As queen of the Lycans, I was second to Ray, but the clan alpha was in charge when it came to running the clan. I didn't want anybody's toes to be stepped on, and I certainly did not want to undermine Caleb's authority. If Ray undermined his authority in front of everybody, then the clan would think they could run all over him, and I did not want that, especially for Chrissy's sake. Chrissy was the daughter of the old Alpha, and nobody ever undermined him. I didn't want Caleb to be feared. I wanted him to be respected and well-liked.
If people saw him arguing with the king of Alpha and the king of Alpha undermining him, then that would be really terrible. We were lying in bed, and then Ray got up and went and got a bottle of lotion.
" Baby, roll over in your stomach," he stated.
" I'm going to give you a massage to see if that will help you sleep and help relieve some of your pain," he stated.
I have not taken anything for pain since last night or morning. However, you looked at it. I was hurting, but there again, when you have a lot on your mind, you don't necessarily feel pain. You think of everything that you want except for the pain. You don't hurt as much if you don't focus on the pain. That's what I learned when I was a captive.
