Kimberly stretched her arms and sighed deeply, still cocooned in the soft, luxurious bedding.
The morning light streamed through the tall windows, bathing the room in a warm glow.
Despite the comfort of her surroundings, her heart felt heavy.
*Why does it feel like peace is always just out of reach? Where is Theo?* she wondered, scanning the room with her tired eyes.
Just as her thoughts began to spiral, the door creaked open.
Alpha Theo stepped inside, carrying a tray with tea and neatly sliced bread. His presence filled the room with a reassuring calm.
"Good morning," Theo greeted, his smile warm and inviting as he set the tray down on the bedside table.
"How are you feeling today?"
Kimberly blinked, momentarily stunned by the simplicity of his gesture. She had never expected someone as powerful as Theo to bring her breakfast.
"I'm feeling better," she replied softly, offering him a small, grateful smile.
