His Generosity

At Ryder Manor, Midnight Pack Territory

Panting and gasping for breath, Clara took one look out the window and realize that she had woken up a bit late than usual. She had experienced a few nightmares... ones that entailed Deni haunting her and her parents in her sleep. 

Closing her eyes, she recalled how Gilas stayed by her side, comforting her in his arms while telling her that it would all soon pass and that it was all nothing more but a bad dream.

He had stayed with her till she fell asleep... Was he still there with her? Trying to clear her head, she took a deep breath before she opened her eyes again. Unfortunately, she saw that her room was empty. 

It was then that the door swung open.

Clara quickly turned to the woman that just entered her room. "Did Gilas leave already?" she asked her chamberlain, who was quick to arrive and assist her together with the rest of her attendants as soon as she woke up.
