Selena sat by the bed and watched him sleep. His chest rose and fell with his breathing. For the first time in a long while, there seemed to be no grimace of pain on his face, just serenity and peace. She still couldn't believe she'd decided to do this. To save a werewolf, her original enemy, to bring him to her castle, to go out and heal him. But the moment Selena saw him bleeding to death in the clearing outside her home, something inside her shook. She couldn't just walk past him and let him die. He was here now, safe, under her protection, but other thoughts never left her mind. I wonder what he'll think when he wakes up and realises who saved him? Would he be grateful or would he try to attack at once? Selene was scared, but somehow she was sure she had done the right thing.

The girl touched his hand lightly with her fingertips. The skin was warm, even hot. An unusual sensation for her, whose body had always been as cold as ice. Selena smiled involuntarily, who would have thought that one day a vampire and a werewolf would be under the same roof, and under such circumstances. Well, the only thing to do was to wait and see what would happen next. The most important thing now was for him to get better, and then they'd work it out, she was sure of that.
