I drifted awake to find myself in the arms of Lycannar. For a brief moment, I didn’t move. We were in his hallway, and he was fast asleep, as he had been the other day.

I could feel the ache from my thighs and the gentle bruise on my neck that wasn’t healing. The exact spot where he had choked me.

Slowly, I looked up at his face. He looked so much at peace, and he was fast asleep. I sighed and then lowered my gaze. He was always fierce when making love to me. It was as though he feared I’d push him away. My fingers found their way to the bruise, feeling the sting, and I sighed again.

We need to talk about our sex life and how he will deal with his intensity. I looked back at his face, and my eyes fell on the rings in his left eyebrow. Curiously, I reached for it and trailed down his eyebrow to his pointed nose. I was smiling to myself when my eyes caught the sight of sweat beads on his forehead.

A frown creased my face as I placed my palm on his forehead only to get the shock. He was… he was burning up.

“Lycan?” I called softly, but he didn’t respond. His eyes were closed, and he looked so dead if it weren’t for the heaving of his chest.

I sat up, placing my palm on his chest, nudging him as I called again.

“Lycannar?”

Slowly, he fluttered his eyelids open but didn’t move or speak. He only stared at me as though wondering where he was.

“Lycan, you’re burning up,” I said softly, but in response, his eyes moved away from my face and down to my neck. A small frown etched his features when he saw the bruise. Then I felt him move away from the floor.

In silence, he walked into the bath chamber without any words. For a while, I sat alone in the håll, wondering what was wrong with him. Then I followed behind, standing at the entrance to watch him in the pool, his back to me.

I walked toward him and gently entered the water, staying my way far from him to take my bath in silence. My back was also to him as I scrubbed my arm. Then I felt him from behind.

“I’m sorry I hurt you,” he muttered quietly. I ignored him, continuing to take my bath, and then I felt his touch. His hands gently gripped my waist as he turned me toward him. His eyes were filled with apology, and I could tell he was also struggling to be normal.

“I’m sorry I choked you. I just… I just lose myself whenever I make love to you. Whenever I kiss you.”

Silence fell after his words. I didn’t respond right away. Instead, I stared at him, then moved closer, my palm resting on his chest.

“I’m not leaving you, Lycan. Is that not what you are worried about?”

His

eyes stared back at me for a brief moment before he looked away.

“I am a weird man who is forever exiled to this tower. You have many reasons to leave me.”

“So you’d let me?” I asked, earning a sharp stare from him.

“Trust me. Zephyrine…” he muttered lazily as he lowered his gaze. “You will die before I let you another man’s woman.”

My heart plummeted at those words from him. He made it sound so simple, but staring at him, I knew so well he meant every word.

“Thank you,” I muttered softly, and he looked at me in confusion.
