“Shush!” She shushed them all.
Hunter and Mia looked at each other after being chided by her and resigned.
“If there is any problem, I will come back from school!” Mia warned.
“And if I hear that you have gotten up from that bed, then I am also coming back,” Hunter growled.
River let out an exasperated sigh. “Okay… I will take care.”
By the afternoon, River had vomited the lemonade and biscuits also. Faria brought her a boiled egg but that too was tossed out of her stomach. She brought her cheese sandwich, but the smell of cheese repulsed River to the extent that she felt like gagging. Faria was out of her wits. She didn’t know what to give to her. Because River had asked her not to talk about it to Hunter, she was getting all the more nervous. River looked so pale and weak that dread skittered down her spine. I must call the doctor,”
Faria said.
“Why don’t we wait till the evening.” River replied. “I need a hot water bath. I will feel fresh after that.”
Faria looked at her with a crease in her forehead. “Okay, let me prepare you a nice herbal bath.” Faria went to run hot water in the bathtub and ordered the servants to get rosemary, lavender and mint herbs to add to the bath. She added a nice bath gel that bubbled up instantly. Once her bath was prepared, she helped River to come to the bathroom.
As soon as River was immersed in the hot water, she moaned. “This is so good, Faria,” she said and closed her eyes, resting at the edge of the tub. The smell of herbs calmed her down.
“I am glad you like it, milady, Faria replied, still watching her. “Would you like to eat something?”
“Yes, I can have melon and cucumber juice after the bath,” she said in a low, relaxing voice. River was sure that it was her stress over so many days that affected her body. She heard Faria closing the door behind her. River splashed some water over her face and then closed her eyes again to rest behind. Her mind went to her honeymoon. It was such a wonderful break. One thought led to the other and she recalled how she imagined that Rosalie was also there. She chuckled over her imagination.
After a nice long bath, River dried herself dry. Feeling a thousand times better, she wore a ****bathrobe and walked in the bedroom. Faria gave her the juice she requested. River grabbed it in her hand and took a selfie with it with a smile. She sent it to Hunter and the next moment he gave her a video call.
“River!” he said, his lips tugging up in a smile. “How are you, baby?”
She sipped her juice and smiled back. “I am feeling better.” Then she sipped more. She realized that she was so hungry that she sipped half the glass in one go.
Though to Hunter she was still pale, but she looked better. “I am so happy to know that.”
She wiped her ***and said, “You guys were overly worried. This was just stress that-” she retched.
“River?” Hunter’s brows furrowed.
She retched again and the next moment she dropped her phone down and rushed to the toilet with Faria following her. “Riverrr!” Hunter shouted from the phone.
River was shocked. She had vomited the juice the moment it hit her stomach. What was wrong? Was she going to ***? Her breath labored, she washed herself and came out with Faria’s help. Just then the door of the room opened with a bang and Hunter entered, looking panicky as ***with the doctor behind him.
“River, you look so sick,” he said, kneeling in front of her, holding her hands in his, looking like he was about to faint.
River was feeling too weak. Her eyes rounded at the corner when she said, “I don’t know, Hunter. I think I got a bad stomach flu or is it possible that I am dying.”
She had gone through so much abuse in her life that her tolerance to pain was higher than the rest. But after she had married Hunter, she wanted to live and enjoy her life. She wanted to enjoy every minute of her life with him. And this little incident had shaken her up from inside.
“You are not dying!” Hunter cried. He too looked like a puppy in front of her, as if she was his owner.
Faria gritted her teeth at both of them. In a chiding tone she said, “No one is dying! I am sure medical science has advanced more than enough to let people ***from vomiting!”

“If it is okay with you Alpha, may I check Luna?” the doctor said softly from behind with a smile.
“Oh, yes!” Hunter said. “This is Dr. Gerald and he is a renowned doctor of the Dark Moon Pack. He is here to check you.”
Dr. Gerald came forward as Hunter moved aside for him. He sat down beside her and checked her pulse.
Then he took her temperature and rechecked her pulse. He took a deep breath in. He opened his medical bag and gave her two sets of sticks. “Use these sticks after two weeks. As soon as you have used them according to the instructions written on them, please call me, okay.”
River took the sticks with a puzzled expression. She was expecting him to give medicines, but why did he give her two sticks? When she read what was written on the sticks, her eyes widened. She whipped her head to look at the doctor who was simply… grinning.
He wrote a prescription for her and handed it to her. It was calcium and iron tablets. “You must eat light and make sure not to overeat if you are feeling puking. Go out for a stroll whenever you like and don’t think that you are alone. I will come and see you any time you call me, okay?”
She nodded, confusion still all over her face.
Had she been a Lycan just like him and the rest of the Dark Moon pack, the doctor wouldn’t have bothered, but she was a werewolf. That was a little bothersome. She wasn’t as powerful as a Lycan, Two weeks later.
Hunter was standing outside the bathroom. River had taken the sticks for the test. In the past two weeks she had developed a liking for some food while she hated the smell of the rest. She especially hated eggs.
“How long. River?” Hunter said as he thumped his head on the door in frustration. There was no reply from inside. His anxiety was rising rapidly. If she didn’t answer, he was going to break the door. He waited for a few minutes and called her back. “Baby?” Still no answer. “River!” This time his voice was at the edge of panic. He wanted to get inside and check it himself. He was going to break the door.
