Chapitre 63: How To Get Permission

***ALEX'S POV***

I kept turning to look at Jake over my shoulder as Alina and I walked toward the palace. He really did stand there and watch me until I got to the safety of the place that I called home in this story. I don't know if it was to guarantee that I was safe, or if it was so that he could just keep watching me. 

What I did know right now was that his words were still spinning around inside of my head. The ones that made me feel like my entire head was going to explode when he said them.
