THORNE'S POV
I walked away without another word. It wasn't something I was supposed to fuss about. I knew Lyra was trying to protect herself and even more Ryan but that kiss we had in the car had proved something to me and I wasn't going to let it slip away. The moon goddess had given us a chance, we just had to take it.
I felt that sacred bond awake within me the moment I touched her, I still felt tingles in my belly because of it too. I don't know if Lyra had felt it too and didn't recognize what it was or if she was just ignoring it. The bond was strong enough, anyone would have felt but whatever her reason was for pushing me away, I just had to accept it.
I made my way to Ryan's room to check on him and found him lying in bed. I turned on the lights and found Tank half asleep on the sofa.
"Wake up!" I patted his shoulder. "What are you still doing here?"
Tank stretched and squinted his eyes at me, I returned the favor and hit him hard on the cheek contin
