Nysas pov
“Nyssa, Nyssa… wake up.”
I heard the deep voice as I slept, soothing, gentle, familiar and I immediately knew it was Darius calling my
name.
I didn’t want to wake, but then again, when had I ever woken early before? This time, though, it felt different, I
swore.
My body ached, exhausted from the intensity of Darius marking me last night. I had nearly lost consciousness, like in my past life, but I hadn’t, thanks to Sheila’s strength.
In that life, I hadn’t truly been wolfless. I had her then too, but she had been locked away, just like before.
Even though I had fainted, it didn’t mean I didn’t feel like I’d been run over by a truck. So when Darius called again in that gentle voice, I didn’t stir, burying my face further into the bed and swatting at him with a frustrated grunt.
Yet he didn’t take the hint.
“Nyssa, you need to wake up and eat. It’s already lunch,” he said, the teasing edge in his voice making me groan, though I was desperate for more sleep.
“Not now, Darius. I need to sleep,” I mumbled, pressing my face deeper into the bed to block out his voice.
But the next second, as he spoke again, my body stiffened, the drowsiness evaporating instantly.
“Are you sure you don’t want to eat, little mate? I made your favorite meal–bacon, sausages, eggs, fried mushrooms, grilled tomatoes, baked beans… and, most of all, your favorite dessert, frozen strawberries dipped in honey,” I heard him murmur, closer now.
I inhaled sharply at the sound and, almost instinctively, leapt onto the bed, jerking my body toward him. Leaning in, a wild smile spread across my face as I asked in excitement.
“Really? Where is it? It’s been so long since I had frozen strawberries. I love the way you make it, did you do it all by yourself? Hm?”
I spoke so hurriedly that my words barely made sense, but the curve of his lips told me he heard me.
“I thought you wanted to sleep, little mate?” He tilted his head slightly in amusement. “Are you hungry now?”
My lips curled into a snarl at his words, and I brought my hands to the sides of his face, leaning closer, parting my lips to say something but before I could, a cough from the side drew my attention.
Turning, I saw Serena and Isabella standing there, wide–eyed and utterly shocked at the scene in front of
them.

But soon, my eyes flickered to the tray Serena and Isabella were holding that had food on them that was
covered.
And almost immediately, I stared at the meal, I swallowed hard, licking my lips, my mouth watering as at the aroma that drifted from the food.
Fuck, it was really Darius who cooked this. I even remembered the smell of his food and I missed it.
I really did.
“You are drooling, you know”
I heard Darius teasing voice as he watched me and I quickly cleaned my mouth, only to realize that I wasn’t actually drooling
This man.
I rolled my eyes and leaned away from him before signalling Serena and Isabella with my hand to step closer and drop the meal on the bed.
Despite their obvious discomfort and surprise, they listened and walked forward, though they trembled slightly as they felt Darius‘ gaze flicker to them for a brief moment but Darius didn’t pay attention to them and as they dropped the meal, I smiled and thanked them before turning to Darius.
“Thank you for the meal, my king. I love you”
I smiled, saying it offhandedly
The moment the words left my lips, Serena and Isabella gasped in shock, as if they couldn’t believe it. Even Darius looked slightly taken aback, clearly not used to hearing it but then he smiled, reaching out to ruffle my hair before replying.
“I love you too, mate,” he said.
But then, my eyes flickered to the tray on the bed, food covered neatly. Almost immediately, my gaze locked onto the meal, and I swallowed hard, licking my lips as the aroma wafted toward me, making my mouth
water.
If my words had made Serena and Isabella gasp, Darius’s reply left their jaws practically on the floor. I laughed softly before turning to the meal. The moment I lifted the plate cover, the sight alone nearly made me drool. Without wasting a second, I licked my lips, picked up the fork and knife, and began digging in. Each bite made my eyes flutter shut, my chest tightening as I savored it, almost crying because it reminded me so much of how Darius used to bring me breakfast in the past, just like this.
“It’s really good, my king,” I murmured, sniffing back a tear as I kept eating. “I love this so much.”
Darius must have noticed the shift in my mood, because he quietly sent Serena and Isabella out of the room. Once they were gone, his hand reached over to rub my head gently, his smile soft.
“Is it that good that you want to cry?” he asked.

I froze, glancing at him just as a single tear slipped down my check. Smiling through it, I wiped it away and whispered, “No, it’s just… I missed this. I missed these little things we used to do. I missed us.
For a moment, Darius’s expression stiffened, but then he chuckled, low and warm, his voice carrying a quiet happiness.
“Me too, my love. But we’re together now. We can do everything we couldn’t before. You and I.”
I nodded, my smile widening as I agreed, “You’re right. We can do everything we couldn’t do then.”
His hand rubbed over my head again, and my eyes lit up as an idea burst out of me.
“I know what we can do first! Let’s go on a date!”
