A Trusted Person

She thought it was a long dream after getting her foot caught in a thorn. She felt her skull throbbing. She moved a little in her sleep.

Scarlett opened her eyes. Her vision was blurry. She growled briefly. Vague memories that felt not long ago rose to the surface.

The word she uttered was, "Shit."

She coughed because of a dry throat. She smelled the environment. There was something different than just the smell of burning wood.

Gideon looked down, looking at her without blinking. The little wolf no longer had a fever. He was relieved to be able to look into her eyes.

Scarlett blinked rapidly. Her mouth opened as she found a handsome face above her. Elestria must see, she thought before falling unconscious again.

His smile was lost in the snowy wind.

Scarlett recovered from a fever while the wound on her leg must have hurt. She has more time to heal.

Gideon could only wait.
