Morning came, and Jayra woke up feeling so sore all over her body. She smiled as she slowly opened her eyes to greet Bartos, but unfortunately, his side of the bed was currently empty.
"You're finally awake!"
Bella's enthusiastic voice made Jayra bolt up from the bed as she quickly covered her naked body with the nearest sheets available to her.
"Where's Bartos?" Jayra inquired with an awkward smile. The embarrassment she was feeling from being seen in that kind of state almost made her want to curl up and hide, but she couldn't really do so at the moment.
Thankfully, Bella probably understood her current expression as she said, "I'm sorry, Sister-in-law, but Brother told us not to disturb you since he said you were exhausted from being up the whole night. If you're looking for him, he's out early to take a peek throughout our territory to ensure that everyone in the pack is ready for the early winter."
"I see," Jayra nodded in understanding.
