I was surrounded by Radek’s warmth and his spicy scent. I took a deep breath to see who else was in the room before I opened my eyes. Val was nearby, his scent familiar, and Jenna was close to him. She smelled like fur and roses.

I could smell the emotions that were left over in the air. The sourness of fear and the acrid scent of worry were the most prevalent. Dante’s ash and musty smell was coming from the direction of the other bed. I could hear him starting to stir. Radek’s breathing was even in his slumber, his breath hot against the back of my neck. His head was buried in my hair and neck from behind. His arm’s heavy weight was across my waist. I laid still as I listened to Dante and Val speaking.

“Good. You’re awake,” Val said.

I could hear him stand up. His clothes rubbed against the wall. He must have been sitting against it.

“Yes. I’m awake. It worked.” Dante’s hoarse voice floated through the air.

“Is she okay?”

“She will be. Some of it was a bit of a shock to her. I’m sure she’ll be okay. Natalya is stronger than even she believes,” Dante said.

I could hear the admiration in his voice. From his mind, I was picking up that he knew I was awake and was giving me a minute. I could also pick up that he was thinking that Val was hiding something from him. This was way too bizarre.

“I’m glad. How are you doing?” Val asked.

“Not too bad. Just a killer headache, but that’s all. That was a complete head rush.”

I could hear the smile in his voice. I could see through his thoughts as he got up from the bed and met Radek’s anxious eyes.

Oops, I forgot to pay attention to Radek. He was awake and probably knew I was as well. This had been hard on him.

Dante gave me a mental kick in the pants. Come on Nat, put him out of his misery please. I can’t bear to see him like this.

I opened my eyes and met Dante’s intense glare, then growled at him in my head, which brought a smile to his lips.

“Yes, she’s going to be just fine. Aren’t you, Nat?”

“I’ll live,” I grumbled. My throat was sore from screaming and my voice came out gravelly. “But I think my head is gonna explode.”

Radek’s body relaxed against mine. He let me sit up.

Spots appeared in my vision and the pain made me gasp. I put my head in my hands. “If this headache doesn’t go away though, I think I’ll die.”

Radek’s relieved laugh vibrated through my pounding head. “I’m sure you’ll survive,” he said.

“We can all talk after I get a shower.” Even my teeth hurt. A shower sounded really good. I was hoping that it would help clear my head because pain medications had no effect on me.

“Would you like something to eat?” Jenna asked. Her voice was light and airy, soothing my strung out nerves.

I tensed up again as I thought about her question.
