ASHLEYI couldn't remember the last words he said again at that moment but I was aware that it left a sinking feeling in my soul for so many reasons I couldn't comprehend.In a way, I listened to the sound of his footsteps down the hall as he left. It took a moment for his words to process and to realize that In fact I was still there standing still in the place where he had left me. Try all I could, it was hard finding my words as it felt all scattered at the back of mind. I turned to the window and could see my heavy, unreadable gaze that reflected on my skin as I stared at myself.I dropped my hands to either side of the table to support myself."What have you done?" I asked myself. I had my answers quickly fleeting through my mind…“I don't want to see you have any of this guilt trap.” I thought aloud to myself at first. To be sincere, I cared less about what might happen if he asked the Sage . After he left,..I had that feeling that i might've died something really bad , i
ASHLEYIt had been twenty minutes since she left and still I couldn't bring myself to think of everything that she had said, it felt like trash and was hard to process.It was hard to process, it was hard to trust anyone 's words after everything that had happened, much alone what did Kael call her again,a sage?She had been precise , still her words had many in-depth meanings -All of these thoughts were in my mind when I heard the door open, he walked in slowly and stood closer to where I was while looking at me cautiously.“What did she say?" His voice was soothing.“Just rubbish didn't pay attention." I muttered.“You should've." “What?" I looked at him puzzled. “You should've, I was worried about you, that is more reason that I invited her." " Really?” Well he had been a sweet man to me all these while , and something about the way he said the word ,the way he sounded so sweet sank to the back of my mind, I could feel the truth in his words from somewhere deep in my heart,
ASHLEY The sun was still up when I woke up. In a way I tried to think of what had just happened but couldn't as my mind was still rattled.At this time the Morning light was making its way through the windows as I stirred, still feeling that buzz of anxiety. At first it felt like any normal day in the past. Then my eyes flew open.I looked around the room trying to remember the details of how things ended the previous day, my gaze fell around to an empty room that was void of his heat..Clutching the duvet closer to my torso , my heart pounded in my chest as I fought in vain to get the memories of yesterday as it swirled around my mind in fragments. For a minute my fingers were rather rattled, I ran my fingers through the fabric of the blanket as I looked around the stillness enveloping me..“Where was he?" I thought to myself.Slowly the images kept coming back to the back of my mind, I had a sharp headache as the vision of the wolf came again.“What is happening?” I thou
ASHLEY’S POVThe first thing I felt was the pounding in my heart as soon as I woke up the next morning. At first it all started with a dull ache that pulsed behind my eyes and made the room spin all the whole while I stayed right there on the bed. I groaned softly and turned my head into the pillow, shutting my eyes tighter as I took in a deep breath. Was I sick?My thoughts were scattered, The feelings of last night and what I had seen felt like a dream I couldn’t string together. I remembered standing at the window. Kael’s voice calling me. .. And then nothing, it was all like a blur, I couldn't make out anything as my chest tightened. I didn’t want to think too far into it…When I finally pushed myself up, the headache only worsened. I pressed my fingers against my temples and sat very still, trying to calm my racing heartAs the bed dipped beside me, I didn’t need to turn to know it was him as I could feel his warmth.“Are you alright?” His voice was low and cautious.I kept
KAELThe first thing I noticed when I woke up was the empty space beside me where she should have been, it was still warm enough to tell me that she hadn't left for too long.My hand slid across the bed, touching nothing but cold linen when I had tried to reach her after the weird dream that I just had.“Ashley?” I called out after feeling a quiet thud in my chest.Where could she be ? With the thought still heavy in my heart I sat up, my eyes adjusting to the dim light spilling through the half-drawn curtains. The room was still,so quiet that I could hear my heart racing from within-She wouldn’t just leave, I knew that …Not in the middle of the night. I swung my legs over the edge of the bed and grabbed the first shirt I could find. I didn’t bother putting on my shoes while I walked out , cautiously. Ever since the thought of the talk of the rogue king showing up I had been that way , been rather too careful if I must say. The corridor outside was silent except for the creak
ASHLEYMy fingers were still curled around the handle , I knew who had called me but I was too scared to turn, how else was I supposed to face him , what should I say … “Luna Ashley?”This time his voice was barely a whisper . He was standing close to me ,far yet I could feel the heat of his skin radiating from wherever he was. Every muscle in my body stiffened. Slowly, I turned, my breath still trapped in my throat. Kael stood a few feet away, he was leaning casually against the wall as if he’d been watching me the whole time and something in the way he looked at me felt like he was enjoying this. His face was calm, but his eyes held something deep, was it Curiosity? Was it Suspicion?For a moment, I couldn’t speak. My lips parted, but no sound came out as I stood right where I was.“Didn't…didn't see you.” I stuttered.He took a slow step forward, his boots barely making a sound against the floor. “What are you doing here?”“I—” My throat felt dry. I forced a nervous smile an
