-Laila

I’m lost.

There’s no doubt about it.

The storm has literally grown into a blizzard, I can barely see a few inches ahead of me and I’m pretty sure this is the second time I’m walking by this tree.

There’s still no clearing and no exit signs leading out of the forest.

I can’t even sense my way out, the snow makes it impossible to smell anything or listen for the sounds of the highway.

“Laila!”

A voice cuts through the howling winds, deep, commanding and all too familiar.

Kael!

I jerk my head up, a little too fast, snow stinging my eyes. And Kael’s right there, black hair dusted white with snow, he emerges out of the blur, appearing out of nowhere as mysteriously as Cameron had disappeared.

He storms through the blur of snow like he owns the damn blizzard, stopping just a few paces away from me.

The relief hits instantly. Hard enough, I think I might cry.

But of course, he doesn’t look relieved. He’s fuming.

“What the hell, Laila?! What are you doing?!” He snaps, his hand clamps down on my arm before I can even respond.

His grip is firm, but not painful. His touch is warm, steady…everything the storm isn’t.

I don’t argue. I couldn’t if I tried.

My lips are numb from being out in the snow, and my teeth won’t stop rattling. Kael yanks me against his chest and suddenly the wind isn’t as overwhelming as it was.

His coat opens just enough to pull me in, his arms wrapping around me, burying me in his heat

The scent of him…wood, smoke and something earthier, invades my senses.

My stupid, traitorous body relaxes immediately, easing into the comfort and safety he offers, even knowing I’ll regret it in no distant time.

But I don’t care. Not now.

Kael’s here. He came for me. He wasn’t even a part of the event and somehow, he came for me.

Stay close His mouth brushes against my ear as he growls the order, and the vibration travels straight down my spine.

Like I have a choice.

His arm wraps around me, as tight as steel, forcing me to match his swift and unrelenting pace.

We stumble through the storm, his broad frame shields me from most of the wind.

Each step feels like an eternity. My boots sink deeper, my legs are heavy, but Kael doesn’t slow down, barely fazed by the storm.

He keeps pushing ahead, dragging my weight along with ease, even when I stumble.

We’re almost there, he mutters. His breath feels hot against my temple.

He’s too hot, and he’s too close. But it’s either this or face the winds myself.

After what feels like forever, the outline of a cabin appears through the white blur. It’s old and run down, barely visible beneath the snow,

But its shelter.

By the time we reach it. I can’t feel my fingers.

Kael shoves the door open with his shoulder, pulling me inside, and then he slams it shut against the storm.

Safe. At least for now.

Silence falls over the cabin. All that’s left is the sound of our ragged breathing.

His being heavier than mine. Not out of exhaustion…no.

Kael’s fighting his anger, I can tell because I’ve seen him angry more times than I’ve seen him smile.

It gets easier to pick up on the cues.

The cabin is small, dark and shadowy. The darkness swallows up everything, except for the faint light seeping through the shutters.

My knees give out, but Kael’s grip tightens around my waist, securing me against him. He doesn’t let me fall.

Instead, he pushes me back against the wall. Not roughly, but he’s not gentle either.

His hands grip my shoulders tightly, his eyes wild and burning with rage as he scans every inch of me like he’s checking for damage.

“You’re shaking. His voice is low, controlled, but I see the storm still brewing in his gaze.

Chapter 63

I’m just cold. I admit, in forced sarcasm, through my chattering teeth. I’m not dying yet?

His jaws tighten. He leans closer, his nose nearly brushing mine and his hot breath fans over my fare. ” could have”

The possibility of that is terrifying, but not as much as the dark, deathly rage burning in Vary’s eyes

I’m caged in. There’s nowhere to retreat. Hell, I can’t even move my head,

“I’ll kill him.” Kael chuckles, dark enough it reminds me of a horror movie I watched a while back. V p him limb from limb”

Him. I don’t have to ask to know who Kael is referring too

Lalso can’t help but wonder where he disappeared to and why he didn’t come back for me

I can’t help the sinking feeling of disappointment. It hurts…

Especially after the confession he’d munde a few moments before that.

But what exactly did I expect from a man who’d tossed me to the streets with nothing but the clothes on my back?

But even so… it’s as much Kael’s fault as it is Cameron’s. He’s the only reason I’m here in the first place,

I agreed to this because he did. And I hate that allowed his choices govern mine once again.

Look where it led….

“Who’s fault is this? Who sent me out here in the first place?!” I counter sharply. My tone is biting, my eyes glowering with defiance that my shivering body can’t back. “You don’t get to play the hero, Kart?

“You’re my husband! Not him! You should protect me! You should keep me safe! You, Yael! You!” My voice breaks, but 1 fight the tears gathering in my eyes,

Kael’s brows twitch at my accusation. For a second, it’s not the aftermath of the storm weighing down on me,

It’s him. The weight of him.of his gaze. The memory of every time he’s ever looked at me like this….

Like I belong to him.

Not because of a piece of paper or legal clauses, or terms and conditions and individual selfish interests or benefits.

No. None of that.

Not for the first time, he’s looking at me like I truly, absolutely belong to him.

And I hate how fast it makes my heart race.
