The Taste of Seduction

Meredith reminded herself that none of this is real and nothing is actually happening. It was all an illusion.

Rakkon\'s mental torment was making her hallucinate again.

Taking her deep breath, she forced her eyes open and saw that she was at the hospital.

She blinked when she saw a man in a lab coat approach a machine and pressed a button.

The cuff on her arm tightened and she turned her head to the side. The doctor looked at her and she asked,

"Who are you? I\'m I still hallucinating?"

The doctor smiled kindly and replied,

"I\'m doctor Williams and no you\'re not hallucinating."

The cuff was released and the doctor looked at the screen and made some notes.

The doctor\'s face scrunched into a frown, "Well…I have never seen anything like this before."

Meredith raised an eyebrow and asked, "What? Am I dying?"

The doctor seemed surprised by her question and chuckled before responding, "No you\'re not princess. It\'s just I have never seen someone heal as quickly as you have. I\'m surprised."

"Oh…" Meredith looked at the needle in her lower arm and followed the clear tube to a plastic bag on a metal rod.

"You don\'t need that anymore. You\'re severely dehydrated when you came. Fortunately you\'re okay now."

"Okay,"

The door opened and the Fae King entered.

"How are you doing?" He asked once he reached her bed.

"Good. Where am I?" Meredith asked. She knew this wasn\'t the place she has been staying in Aarkans.

"My kingdom. You were still weak and we couldn\'t trust anyone so we didn\'t want to risk anything."

He explained.

Meredith nodded and looked around.

"I\'m sure you\'re looking for your mates. I thought it would be best for them to stay away until you feel well enough to see them."

He points to the doctor and adds, "Dr. Williams will help you move to a room where you can freshen up. When you are ready, you can help yourself to anything in the kitchen. I\'m sure you are hungry for proper food."

"Thank you." Meredith said softly.

The King nodded and left the room, leaving her with the doctor.

A moment later, Dr. William asked, "Are you ready to try standing up?"

Meredith nodded.

The doctor removed the needle from her arm, he helped her out of the hospital bed and lowered one of the guard rails.

He led her down a hallway until they reached a door.

"Here is your bedroom. You can freshen up."

"Thank you doc." William nodded and walked away.

The moment Meredith opened the door she looked for the bathroom not paying heed to the room she was in. Once she found it she locked the door and took off the hospital rob and stepped into the shower.

The warm water felt good on her sore muscles and the pain she had been feeling had subsided while she was asleep.

She tilted her head back and let the water run over her face, but then she gasped and moved forward, pressing her palms against the other wall of the shower.

She tried to catch her breath and calm her racing heart.

"I\'m safe….safe.." Meredith chanted as her wolf assured her that he can\'t hurt her.

Taking a deep breath she carefully washed and conditioned her hair and scrubbed my body with jasmine-scented soap.

After she was done, she wrapped her hair in one towel and dried herself with another.

Someone had brought her dress and it was lying on her bed. Meredith changed into the comfy sweatpants and tank top.

She walked to the mirror and looked at her face. Apart from her sunken eyes, which were slowly fading, she didn\'t see anything out of place.

She removed the towel off her head and put it on the railing. She found a brush and started untangling her silver hair, braiding it tightly over her shoulder before flipping it behind her back. It was damp but not soaked.

A knock sounded on the door and Meredith opened it to find a young girl standing there with a smile on her face. She was so beautiful,Meredith was in a trance.

"Hello Princess. I\'m asked to escort you to the kitchen for breakfast. If you would like to have it in your room too I can arrange that for you."

Meredith didn\'t want to stay alone in the big room so she chose to eat in the kitchen.

As she led her to the kitchen Meredith was struck by the beauty of the place as they walked down the hallway, glancing out the windows and seeing the sun shining brightly.

The warmth on her skin brought a smile to her lips as they navigated through the halls.

As soon as they entered the kitchen, the strong smell of bacon and eggs filled her senses and her stomach began to growl hungrily.

She blushed when the girl looked at her.

"Sit here. I will bring you something to eat."

Meredith nodded and sat down on one of the stools in the room. A few moment later she came back with the food and placed it in front of her.

T-Thank you,"

Meredith said, accepting the food from the friendly girl and finding a seat at a table. The first bite of bacon was so delicious that it made her mouth water, and she closed her eyes to savor the taste of the food. God she missed this.

She finished her breakfast quickly, relishing the feeling of fullness in her stomach as she cleared the dishes off her table.

The girl approached her and took the tray out of her hand.

"Are you full princess?"

"Yes, thank you for the food. It was truly delicious."

The girl nodded, "I will tell my mom. She will be happy that you liked her food."

She said, and she retreated from the kitchen.

Meredith returned to the hallways and made her way to her room but she stopped in her tracks.

She could feel the hairs on her arms standing on end, and she knew that he was here before she even saw him.

"Angel…"
