Liora’s POV“Liora. Liora!”“Mm… I don’t want pancakes… Maybe waffles…”“Liora!”I jolted awake at the sound of Mia’s hissing voice, her hands shaking my shoulder violently. Images of rogues filled my mind, and jerking upright, I gasped, “What? What is it?”The room was quiet. It was past midnight,

Liora’s POV“Well, well. What do we have here?” One of the rogues, a male in human form, stepped forward. The moonlight caught the jagged scar that cut across his cheek, making the smoothed-over flesh almost seem to gleam a silvery hue. Cold eyes flicked over us before landing on one of the girls in

Liora’s POVCallum and I froze. The guards’ flashlights blinded me, making the ache behind my eyes even worse. I blinked, trying to take a step back, but Callum’s arm remained firm around my waist, refusing to let me move.“Must I repeat myself?” one of the guards asked, stepping forward.

The last thing I recalled was Callum patching up my hand, and then I had tried to stand up… The rest was a blur. I must have fainted from the blood loss.Heat crept up my neck as I slowly sat up, looking around.Suddenly, I heard a sound below me. Looking over the edge of the bed, I spotted Callum sleeping on the floor. His back was turned to me, dark hair mussed. My face warmed even further.Had I really slept in Callum’s bed all night?
