บท 46: DUTIES

Once I got into the healer's quarters, the guard who had accompanied me stood at attention and said,. 

"Alpha Xaden has requested that she reside with you from now on." He said. 

Loren looked at me through his glasses. I half expected him to grumble at how I was disturbing his peace, but he said.

"Alright." And then he went back to his work. The guard nodded and turned away, closing the door behind me. 

Loren resumed his mixing of potions and reading his books while I just stood by the door, unsure of what to do. 

Then he looked back up at me. 

"What are you waiting for?" He asked me. "An invitation?"

I jumped up. "Oh no, uhmm no."

"Then come on in." He invited. "Go down that door; you will find a small room with a bed. Take it."

And after that, he returned to the work before him.

"Thank you," I said quietly.
