Bab 64: Predatory desire

VALENCIA'S POV

I opened my eyes, ready to see some concerned faces and people asking me if I needed to cause and find trouble all the time.

However, nothing like this happened.

I groaned and looked around when I noticed I was probably in the back room of the same cafe I had arrived at to buy some cold coffee for me.

What the hell? I nearly took the heavy blow for Shadow, and he couldn't afford to take me to the hospital.

I mean, it's not that I am excited to get admitted into one, hating the smell of the disinfectant, but still...

I moved, ready to get down from the couch, when the door of the room opened and Shadow walked in.

As soon as he saw I was awake, his gaze darkened, almost like a predator, and he closed the door.

"Hey," I said, feeling conscious of our surroundings and the fact that we were alone in this room as I saw him bolting the door, making me gulp.
