When I saw her eyes flutter open and heard that one word come from her mouth I felt like my world, that had been spinning out of control, had finally been set right. Finally, up was up, down was down, and my mate had come back to me.
I had been standing nearby and watching the scene as it unfolded, but when she woke up, I rushed forward. I threw my arms around her and pulled her close. The feeling of her arms snaking around me and squeezing me back was like heaven.
"Thank the Goddess, you're awake."
"I'm sorry for worrying you, Fido." Her voice held a slight edge of laughter.
"So you were not fazed at all." I smiled, hearing her joking words made it feel like everything was back to normal.
"My Queen, it is good to see you awake." Gabriel interjected.
"I'm sorry I couldn't help you more." Griffin sounded like he was depressed by the events.
