The following day, Aila's eyes stung from the morning light shining through the windows. She groaned and tried reaching out for a pillow. Instead, she accidentally elbowed Damon in the face. Damon groaned and pulled his arms away from her. Her mind finally caught up with her body, realising her mate had been spooning her.

"Sorry!" Aila immediately mind-linked. But from mind-linking, she felt a sharp pain in her head. Ow. It was a headache. And now she felt it; it didn't stop throbbing. 

Moaning to herself, she hid under the covers and rolled over, and watched, bleary-eyed as Damon's naked body came towards her before he too came under the covers. They stared at each other for a moment; he looked wide awake while Aila still had sleep in her eyes.

"Good morning, beautiful. How are you feeling?" He whispered with a smirk. His voice wasn't loud, yet she still winced from the sound.

"That bad, huh?" He said as amusement flickered across his eyes.
