Chapter 16: The Professor

Liliana’s POV

There is a heaviness. At first, it is everywhere, and my mind keeps telling me to go back to sleep, to lay in the comfort of slumber but I struggle to stir. What if the Black Wolf comes back? What if….wait.

My senses gradually return and I finally manage to crack open my eyes by just a fraction. I frown in confusion, I am in Kaden's bed.

My heart skips a beat.

Why? Because this time, the bed is neither empty nor cold. This time, Kaden is here, seated by my side, and his worried expression does not go unnoticed. This, my eyes catch first as they slowly open wider.

His eyes are closed and his brows are furrowed and his lips downturned with worry. Funny how I never noticed it, but even when he frowns, his face is still very attractive. My gaze trails down to my hand and a tiny smile fleets across my lips.

Kaden is holding my hand!

It is a simple gesture but even this tiny act sends a warm, tingling feeling all over me. Still, his touch sends a ripple of confusion through me
