Eryx POVI watched her, Rachael, the heat burning across her cheeks, the flush deepening until her skin glowed. A smirk crept over my face despite the tension coiling in my chest. For a moment, I forgot my own awkwardness. She had that effect on me, the power to make me want to drop every wall I’d built around myself.“I’d like to lay down now… I feel worn out,” she murmured, her voice soft tinged with exhaustion and something I couldn’t name.I nodded, silently agreeing. She slid herself onto the bed with deliberate care, her movements slow, almost tentative and I let her. I sat silently, careful not to crowd her and when she tugged the blanket over herself, I mirrored the motion, covering her from the chill lingering in the air. My eyes stayed on her, tracing every detail, the way her chest rose and fell, the subtle twitch of her fingers as she adjusted beneath the covers.She caught my gaze a few times, her own eyes curious, hesitant and it was almost… intimate.

Lincoln POVI moved through the forest with Eryx’s men, every step measured and deliberate. The trees were dense here, their trunks like silent sentinels, and the scent of pine and damp earth filled my senses. I sniffed the air repeatedly, trying to catch even the faintest hint of movement. The forest was alive with subtle sounds, the snap of a twig underfoot, leaves rustling in the wind, the distant call of a bird. Every sound felt amplified, every shadow seemed to twitch with hidden life.“You head to the northwest,” I ordered, pointing to a narrow path barely visible among the thick trees. Four of the guards nodded sharply. “Yes, Gamma,” they chorused, and they disappeared down the trail, their movements quick and efficient.“You, southwest,” I said to another group, and they went off without question. Their footsteps faded into the distance as they scouted the other side of the forest.The rest of us pressed forward, deeper into the woods. I kept my senses alert, sniffing the air,
