Theodore A faint rustle wakes me up, my eyes burning as I force them open. “That’s too bright,” I rasp out, my words turning into a coughing fit. A nurse hurries to stand next to my bed, filling a glass with water. I take it with shaky hands, fearing I will spill everything. “Slowly, don’t worry about spilling a bit.” She helps me drink by supporting the glass just enough to make me feel like I’m doing it on my own. “Aah,” I breathe out, my throat feeling as if I had been eating sand. “Thank you.” She puts down the glass, passing her palms over her scrubs, and I clear my throat. “Are you an angel? Am I dead?” 

Theodore“It’s a royal mark.” My heart beats into my throat as I turn around to face Helades standing in the door frame. “They are larger than the usual mark you might have read about. Sorry, I wasn’t able to warn you about that.” I stare at him agape until my brain starts functioning again, making me blink. “Sorry, I must have hallucinated for a second. What?” “A royal mark,” he explains, lifting his finger to point at it. “It is usually bigger than the normal mate marks. Gilda told me about you scrolling through those forums for research. You could have asked me if you wanted to know something about my world or the other realms.” My breath hitches in my throat, and I look at him agape, crossing my hands behind my neck. “What?” I whisper, watching him take a step closer. “I know that I have been an asshole. But I would have wanted to be the one to teach you all those things. I’m really sorry, Theodore. I have been an idiot. I was so scared about the crown, and I spent so long run

Theodore“Please stop it,” I laugh, but Gilda continues to pull at my pillow, tucking me in. “They are just keeping me here because it is due diligence, not because there is something wrong with me.” The words fail her while she still scurries around me, sniffing as she keeps suppressing her sobs. “I’m an immortal now,” I state, finally getting her to stop and look at me. She tears up when I point towards my mark peaking from under my collar. “I have a mark now. You don’t have to worry about me.” I grin at her proudly, and she shakes her head, raising her gaze to the ceiling. “I was so scared.” “I appreciate your worrying about me, but you don’t have to be scared anymore. It’s alright now. I’m doing great.” “You will be an old man soon, too,” she wails theatrically, making me crack up. “Just like you guys. This is going to be fun.” I snuggle deeper in my hospital bed, smiling at her. She sniffs a few more times, letting herself fall into the armchair next to my bed. “Who knows

Dear Lovelies Thank you for reading and for your patience while waiting for updates. As you know, I have encountered some health issues that I had to tackle down first. I am slowly getting better, but it takes time. Unfortunately, the stress coming with the exams around the corner led to a bit of a setback, and I had to go to the doctor's to change my medication. With new medication, there comes fear and, more importantly, fatigue, which I am trying hard to cope with. At the same time, I had to lower my dosage of Ritalin intake, which doesn't help at all, but is important for my heart. I hope to adjust to it soon, but even my doctors said not to force it, because it will take a few weeks before it will happen naturally. Two years ago, I lost my uncle because of a heart attack; he was just in his early forties. This broke our hearts and ignited a new fear in our family, but maybe it was also what saved my father's and my life. So that's why I am being extra cautious when it comes t
