When Li Ming finally came out of the dark abyss and her consciousness returned, she found herself laying on a soft mattress.
The room was dimly lit with dozens of candles and with just one look around the bed-chamber, she could tell that she was in the Moon Manor.
She slowly sat up and immediately a sharp pain shot through her body, making her hiss but then her eyes landed on her right hand.
Everything that happened before she lost her consciousness, started appearing in front of her eyes. The pain, the loss, the heartache, the helplessness, everything was once again clearly jammed into her mind.
She felt her body shivering as the dark memories returned but what stopped her from immediately fleeing from the room to find her mate, was the condition of her soul mark.
The skin around the soul mark was red and bruised. However, all five tendrils were safe. The connection between her and Hei Long had not disappeared yet.
"How?"
