Goddess Of The Underworld.
New Surroundings.
Inside the room is a giant bed, definitely custom built. The cream and brown coloured sheetspliment the room, following a theme of warm, earthy tones. Theres a floor to ceiling window behind the bed that shows a beautiful view of the woods with thick, dark green curtains. “There’s a closet over here.” Xavier shows me behind a wall where an overlyrge closet is that leads through to a bathroom, where you guessed it, the general theme of everything is being made for multiple people. The tub I could swim in, the shower I could throw a party in, the vanity lines an entire wall and there’s even a bloody sauna. That I will be tryingter.
“We had Aleisha order you some clothes that should arrive tomorrow.” Noah pipes up as I walk around the
space.
“Because we noticed you don’t have many things. Not even a set of pyjamas.” Levi finishes. They do that a
lot.
“You can wear some of my clothes tonight if you like.” Haiden tries to jump to my rescue.
“No, thank you. In case of an emergency, I don’t want to be defending myself in something that barely
covers my ass.”
Xavier frowns as he steps forward. “You won’t be needing to defend yourself. We’re your mates. We will keep you safe.”
I roll my eyes. “It’s not just about me. It’s about my pack, or…this pack. It’s about the others that can’t defend themselves. Those pups tonight? It’s about them. You won’t take that from me.”
“We just don’t want to see you hurt.”
“And I don’t want to see anyone else hurt.” I cross my arms and raise my chin.
Haiden steps forward with a slight chuckle. “Okay, okay, we’ll shelf that conversation for another time. Can we please check that wound now?” He eyes my shoulder.
“I can do it myself if you can point me to a first aid kit.”
“Please…” He whispers softly. “Talen and I will feel a lot better if you just let one of us make sure you’re okay. Please,”
I huff out a long breath before jumping to sit on the vanity. “Okay. Go on then.”
“Thank you.” Xavier pulls out a medical kit from one of the many cupboards and passes it to Haiden who starts pulling out different creams and dressings.
“Can we leave the dressings off? I’d like to have a shower first.”

He smiles at me warmly. “Of course. Better yet, how about a bath? That way you don’t wash off the cream.”
I shrug my response which pulls at my stiches and I wince slightly, earning four growls.
“Don’t hurt yourself, little mate.” Maddox says.
“Sorry big guy.” I reply with a whole lot less sass than what I would if it was one of the guys saying it. Maddox has already proven himself to be very sweet, attentive and protective. With Maddox still clearly in control, Xavier leans his head forward and without even thinking I run my fingers through his shaggy ck
hair and he lets out a rumbling sound like a purr that makes me giggle.
I stop what I’m doing when I realise Noah and Levi are arguing about what scent of bubbles to put in the bath they’ve decided to run.
“What would you prefer, Luna? We’ve got vani, blueberry, cherry, lime orvender.” Noah asks holding up a handful of bottles.
“That seems excessive. I don’t know,vender?”
“Told you.” Levi mutters out snatching the purple bottle and dumping a heap into the running water.
Haiden finishes applying the cream and once he and Xavier have inspected itpletely, they must deem is okay enough to back up and give me some space.
“You guys aren’ting in with me if that’s what you’re waiting for.” I point to the bath where they’re all hovering.
“Of course not. We’ll give you some space.” Xavier ushers them out the door. Haiden is thest to leave but not before he turns with a yful smirk and takes off his shirt, sitting it on the counter.
“Just in case you want somethingfy to sleep in.” He winks and then leaves closing the door.
After a long, really long soak in the tub I’mpletely rxed. I can’t remember thest time I had a bath. I think I would have been a baby, but dam, that is totally going on my daily to do list, and thevender really helped my muscles and to take the tension and worries away, I dry myself off with a huge white fluffy towel and then look down at my blood-soaked clothes I removed earlier. There’s no way I’m putting those on. I poke my head out of the bathroom and scan the empty shelves, walking back around to the room I realise I literally have no choice but to wear the shirt Haiden left behind.
Cheeky bastard. He knew exactly what he was doing. I give up and go back, trading the towel for the shirt and nothing else. He could have at least left me some underwear. Well, I’m not going anywhere like this, so I hop into the massive bed that feels like a cloud and grab the remote to the TV that’s mounted on the wall. As soon as it turns on there’s a soft knock on the door.
“Yeah?”

New Surroundings.
“It’s me. Uh, Levi.”
“I know it’s you,e in.” I don’t know how I know that, but I just did.
He pokes his head around the door, spotting me in bed and thenes in fully with a tray in his hands.
“You didn’t get to eat tonight. So, I brought you some stuff.” He sits the tray of food on the bed with a bottle of water and takes a step back.
“Thank you.” I say just before my stomach growls from the scent of meat and gravy.
“Of course. If you need anything, I’m just down the hall.”
I nod and watch as he leaves with onest look over his shoulder. He can look sorry all he wants, but I
don’t think that’s going to change how we met.
