CHAPTER 131

Zade patted its neck gently, murmuring something inaudible to the black horse. I was speechless as his attention drifted to me, the glint in his eyes betraying his amusement.

He knows, doesn't he?

The corner of his mouth twitched.

"Do you trust me?" He extended his hand.

My gaze flickered between his eyes and the offered hand. It was a simple question, but the answer carried a weight far beyond its words.

"I trust you."

The white horse walked over to me and I had to admit, my heart sped faster than it ever did in my entire life.

Taking his hand, he helped me onto the horse and I was taken aback. I hadn't ridden a horse before in my life but this... felt natural.

But Zade seemed unfazed, his calm demeanour putting me at ease. "Just follow my lead," he said as he mounted his own horse.
