Rania breathed in relief when Maximus regained his consciousness again, he didn’t remember about the previous event. He was still a little bit off, but he needed to attend the meeting with the elders again, as they started out of control, and elder Gayle was so stressed out about it.

“How do you know?” Maximus looked at her suspiciously. “Is it Gayle who told you?”

Rania didn’t know how to answer that, but she was not going to lie to him, so she nodded.

Seeing that, Maximus looked annoyed. He clicked his tongue, and then thanked her for the medicine. Rania gave her the pain killer that she had concocted.

“I am going to have a talk with Karin, tell her to be here in the evening.” Maximus was annoyed.

There was a reason why Maximus didn’t brief Karin about his condition. It was because he didn’t trust her yet. She just filled the role of the palace healer for a few months by now. It was not easy for Maximus to show his weakness to a random people.

However, Rania tugged at his sleeve, she mouthed a word; why?

She looked worry, understandably so, because the look on Maximus’s expression was rather scary. He might as well have a plan to murder the healer.

“She knew about this. I have to have a thorough explanation.” Maximus shook the vial in his hand. “I don’t know how much Gayle had explained it to her.”

For a moment, Rania was trying to grasp the meaning of it, and then she realized the misunderstanding. She pointed herself, indicating that she was the one, who had concocted the painkiller.

“You did?” Maximus furrowed his brows, and watched Rania nodded vigorously and then she went away to get a paper and pen to write down what she wanted to say.

[Elder Gayle explained to me, and I asked Karin to teach me how to make it, but I didn’t say anything about your condition.]

Maximus knew that Rania started to learn about medicine from the healer. He had no opinion about that, especially when she seemed enjoying the activity.

But, to think that it could come in handy, it was rather strange for him.

[You don’t need to talk with her.] Rania wrote it down again. She was worried that Maximus would do something to harm the healer because he misunderstood that Karin had known something that she should. Rania didn’t want that.

Maximus stared at her for a long moment before he agreed. “Fine with me. I don’t mind you know about it. I think I will rely more on you in the future.”

In Rania’s eyes, Maximus looked fine. She wondered if elder Gayle only exaggerated the situation, because it was obvious that Maximus was not in any pain.

She didn’t think he would need the pain killer, but when Maximus touched her cheek, she could feel how cold his fingers were. He was holding back the pain.

How he could do that? There was no trace of his true feeling at all.

There was a saying of; fake it until you make it. And Rania thought this was the case with Maximus. He faked his nonchalant, until he didn’t care about the pain anymore. How scary it could be.

But then, Rania remembered about herself. She was no different from him.

In a way, they were very similar with each other.

“I want to introduce you to the elders. Be ready, someone will come to get you to the dinning hall this afternoon.” Maximus leaned over and kissed her forehead. “Thank you for staying with me.”

Rania blinked her eyes, she didn’t hate the kiss. Lately, he had been kissing her forehead, instead of her lips, which made Rania feel respected.

But then, Maximus leaned further to whisper to her ear.

“I will make up what I did this morning only if you want it.”

His voice was deep, and his warm breath caressed her skin, which made Rania forgot to react. Her mind worked very slow, as she discerned what Maximus meant with that.

When she did. Her eyes widened in shock. He remembered!

Thankfully, Maximus had left the room, or he would witness how attractive his mate was when she was embarrassed. Her face turned very red.

Rania thought he didn’t remember any of that!

More so, that was his fault to arouse her and then left her hanging!

***

Around noon, a warrior came to escort Rania to the dining hall, where all the elders and the alphas from the supporting packs gathered together there.

At the very least, there were a hundred people. All sides of the long table were filled with Maximus was sitting on the head of the table.

Rania staggered. She didn’t have any idea that the alphas had been summoned too. Actually, they had been here, since two days ago.

Maximus only mentioned the elders, he forgot to say anything about the alphas.
