Chapter 20: Night Falls

— Viktor Morgenstar —

My eyes open to darkness, but unlike every other day I’ve had in this world, I am buzzing with something else inside of me. Something that was almost like… excitement.

I haven’t felt this in a very long time. In mere seconds, I am up from my bed and out of this tomb, straight to the bathroom to wash up.

I pass by the dark black curtains, making sure to slide them open to let the brightness of the moon light seep into my cave.

Once I turn the shower on, the hot water instantly relaxes every muscle in my body and I find myself unable to think of anything else, but… her.

Last night, after I had let Leia go to get some rest (much to my diswant), I tried to focus on my other duties for the night, but even when I was going around the Pack grounds for surveillance and other things, my mind still kept going back to her.

It still did not seem possible to me that she was real and she was right in front of me. Hell, she had been around me this whole time and I had no idea.
