Chapitre 189: Just Once

Kaden didn't think he'd fall asleep so quickly. As a Pure-Blood, sleep wasn't a necessity. They could go a full week without a blink. Only after that, would they feel mild exhaustion. Thus, he was startled to wake up. He was even more shocked to feel the empty bed beside him. He expected her warmth. Her softness.  And when he felt icy coldness, his eyes snapped open.

Kaden frantically glanced at the spot where she should've been. The blanket was tucked neatly, as if no one had laid there in the first place. When he turned his head, he saw clothes discarded on the floor. Her clothes.

"No."

Fear grappled Kaden. Like hands reaching from the grave, they dug and crawled at his heart. Kaden was suddenly reminded of her disappearance in the forest. He was instantly reminded of how beautiful she looked when she ran from him and how heartbroken he was. 

Kaden was horrified. She wouldn't leave him the same way she did that night, would she? 

Atlantis.
