ASHVINI could see the exact moment her mind went back there, the moment she started thinking again, and I wanted more than anything to pull her out of that state of mind.“How did you sleep?” I asked as I threw the bacon into the pan, the sizzling sound pulling her out of wherever her thoughts had taken her.She shrugged and relaxed further into the chair as she faced me, her eyes roaming over the hard planes of my chest.She couldn’t hide the appreciation adorning those big blue eyes of hers. She didn’t even mind that I was watching her check me out, and somehow, I liked that.“Your bed was so comfy, I didn’t want to get out of it.”She inched closer, looking at the food I had laid out on the breakfast table before inhaling deeply, making me chuckle.“What? I like food, and I like the person making the food for me.” She winked at me, and hell, it was the sexiest wink I’d ever received.I cleared my throat, trying to give the bacon I’d been turning and completely ignoring my attentio

Before we could leave, the guard suddenly spoke again. “Wait.”We all stopped.His chest rose and fell rapidly.“There is something else.”I turned back.“What?”He looked terrified.“The woman wasn’t alone.”My skin prickled.“Who was with her?”“I couldn’t see his face. He stayed in the shadows.”“What did he say?”The guard swallowed.“He told her that if she couldn’t take you, she should make sure you never reached the Moonbright territory.”My blood ran cold.“Why?”“He said there were people waiting for you there.”Ashvin’s expression darkened.“People from Moonbright?”“I don’t know.”I closed my eyes for a second.This was bigger than one traitorous guard.Bigger than the attack on my chambers.They knew about my movements.They knew about the archive.They knew about my bloodline.And now they were talking about Moonbright.“Did you recognize the man?” I asked.“No.”“Did you recognize the woman’s scent?”He hesitated.“I’ve never smelled her before.”I frowned.That didn’t m

Getting back to the room, I could barely close my eyes when I tried to sleep. The events of the day and my argument with Ashvin kept replaying in my head.Every word we had exchanged kept coming back to me, but I could barely understand why he was so angry when it was only a matter of time before we eventually returned to Moonbright pack. Lying on the bed that had been a comfort to me only hours ago, I could barely settle my thoughts.So many things ran through my mind, but the first one was how I could convince Ashvin to let me go.He had done his best for my pack. With all the accusations surrounding us and the killings that had followed, I needed to take my people back to where they belonged.‘He has done enough for us.’ Eira agreed with what I had just said.I took a deep breath and closed my eyes.Maybe if I slept and woke up, I would finally be able to gather my thoughts and know exactly what to do when the time came.I had barely closed my eyes when the door opened, I knew it

Ashvin is gone by the time I finally wake up from sleep. The coldness on his side of the bed tells me it has been a while since he got out of it.Without having any expectations, just like the previous day, breakfast is waiting for me in the kitchen. It makes me happy knowing that despite the way the previous night ended, he still thought it worthwhile to make breakfast for me before leaving the house.“Why are you smiling so much?”It is Aly. I finally see her after it feels like she has run off the face of the earth, even though it has only been a few hours since I last saw her.“Where have you been?” She laughs when she sees the enthusiasm in my voice.“Where else can I be? I have been tired, so I decided to rest my head for the longest time.”She moves to my side and somehow engulfs me in a bear hug.When I sigh and wrap my arms around her, I realize that a hug is exactly what I need.“What are you doing?” she asks, now looking behind me and noticing the food laid out on the table
