Third Person POV
Rayna
The next day, Rayna realizes why the doctor said to take it easy.
She made the journey the Alpha Wing living room after being treated to breakfast in bed by Harley and getting ready for the day, and it leaves her muscles exhausted. She collapsed onto the couch.
She mind-links Harley, who is now working in his office, to have Jamie and Hazel brought to her. He complies.
Soon, the couple walks into the living room.
"Hey, guys," Rayna greets, waving to them over the couch, which faces away from the entrance. "Come sit down."
"Hey," Hazel greets back.
"Hey, Rayna," Jamie greets.
They walk around the couch and sit down on the loveseat next to the couch.
"It's nice to see you guys again," Rayna begins. "How has your time in the castle been so far?"
They look at each other for a moment, nodding. "It's been great," Hazel replies. "It's really nice here."
"Yeah," Jamie agrees.
Rayna nods. "That's good. If anyone ever gives you any trouble, I'll deal with them."
"You sure have changed a lot," Jamie comments.
Rayna chuckles. "I guess, yeah. I mean, I'm treated pretty good here so I've gained a lot of confidence."
"I'm really happy for you," Hazel tells her with a smile. Rayna smiles back.
"I hope the king has been treating you good," Jamie says.
Rayna chuckles. "He's amazing."
She sits up.
"Anyways, I called you two here for a reason. I'd love to catch up right now, but I'm really worn out, so we'll have to wait for another time. Jamie and I already talked about this, but you two have nothing to worry about. You guys aren't gonna have any punishment. You'll just stay here until I decide what to do with the pack, so settle in."
The two nod.
"Well, I guess I'll see you guys another day," Rayna says, waving them off
They stand up, say goodbye, and head out, presumably back to their rooms.
She lets out a long breath and lays back down on the couch. She gives herself a few minutes to recover before she mind-links Harley again and requests that Jayce and Danny are escorted to her.
'Are you sure?' he asks.
'Yeah.'
'Maybe I should come down there with you,' he suggests.
'No,' she rejects. 'I got this.'
'Okay . . .'
There's a pause.
'They'll be there in a few minutes. Mind-link me if you need anything.'
'Okay, babe. Thank you. I love you.'
'I love you, too, baby.'
A few minutes later, Jayce and Danny hesitantly enter the living room.
Rayna was already sitting up on the couch, doing her best to look presented and confident. They see her instantly, and she can tell that they're both anxious and feel bad. She hides a smile at the sight of the fresh marks on their necks and intertwined hands. They're finally able to be together.
