Rendezvous

Esmere POV

Fortunately, my condition did not worsen after we finished gathering all the weapons inside the castle.

After finishing the task Aamon had given us, Ophelia assisted me to my room and brought some medicine.

Seeing how tired she was, I told her to retire for the night and take some rest.

Initially, Ophelia did not want to leave me and insisted on sleeping in my room, but I told her I wanted to be alone and assured her I wouldn’t leave my room that night.

The wind that night was so cold, and there was a crescent moon above. I could hear the singing of the crickets, and that sound could somehow comfort me.

My room has an expansive terrace that’s directly facing the northern forest.

Aamon used to enter from there whenever he wanted to visit me before, and then we would talk about the future of the northern pack and our future children until sunrise.
