A gentle shake to Melva's shoulder woke her up from her deep slumber. She unwillingly blinked her eyes open and thankfully, her chamber was still dark, so it was easy for her eyes to adjust. Her head was heavy with sleep and she wanted nothing more than going back to bed. The warmth that enveloped her made it even harder for her to stay awake. Snuggling up against the source of the warmth was very much appealing for her to resist.
"Lady Melva, you need to wake up and get ready if you don't want to be late," whispered Elisha urgently, leaning towards Melva's face to let her hear her voice better.
Melva whined sleepily, reluctant to wake up but she knew she had to. Today was the day of the royal hunting party. A special event for Vance that he could not miss. It was an important day for both of them, as she was his companion for the hunt.
