Chapter 82

• Cielo's days are growing longer, and admittedly lonelier. Between her time interviewing every single soul in this goddess-forsaken palace, dealing with her family, visiting Cain - now in week three of his coma, finding the Lunar Pack orphans new packs, and her hunts for that asinine beast, exhaustion is starting to creep up on her. She can't stand to sleep in her room alone, so she's been sleeping in Cain's hospital room on a bench built into the window bay.
• This annoyed his main doctor to no end. Dr. Holder has been trying to get her to sleep in her room so the attendants can work on Cain at night, without worrying about waking her; that's not going to happen. She told the staff to pretend she was not there during the night, but they just ignored that suggestion. She thinks he's relieved she's willing to leave the room during the day, but that is only because Leroy and Ruben have offered to sit with him while she's working.
• Mia has been visiting her every single day to see if she's okay. She lies and tells her she is. Mia doesn't buy it and then the cycle repeats. All Cielo wants is to rip her hair out and scream at the top of her lungs until she can't anymore. She knows Mia senses this, and she's been trying to keep her distracted with trivial things like remodeling Cain's and her bedroom. Planning for her coronation. Getting through her second heat cycle by keeping ice packs on her at all times, and unmated males out of the same vicinity as her; minus Ruben.
