"Ave," Ryker said when he saw me reading some book inside the library. I still have at least two hours before leaving for Atters with him.
"Hmmm? " I asked him without looking at him.
"The elder vampires have settled down. I organized teams to patrol the perimeters. Is there anything you want to add?" he said.
After reading the book's page, I remembered the forbidden book that Onyx had given to Stacey.
"That's good, Ryker," I praised him. You're more fit to be king than your bastard brother," I told him.
Ryker smiled at me.
"Nah, I never wanted a throne," Ryker said. "I only wanted to be with you."
My cheeks automatically blush when I hear what he said.
"Anyways, Uhm, do you know Stacey? Or any forbidden books that have been hidden here?" I asked him to change the topic. I felt like Ryker had the power to make me blush whenever he said he wanted to be with me.
