Bab 78: ~Hellbound~

The first rays of morning sunlight filtered through the curtains, casting a warm and gentle glow across the room. As the world outside began to stir awake, Elena remained nestled in Derek's arms, her slumber undisturbed. It was a peaceful night's sleep that she had long deserved.

Elena's presence in his arms was a precious gift that he hadn't anticipated. It was evident that she had slept well; her restful expression was a testament to the tranquility she had found in his embrace.

Elena had been through so much, and it was clear from her sound sleep that she hadn't experienced such peace in a long time. The trials and tribulations of her life had taken a toll on her.

As Derek opened his eyes and found Elena cradled in his arms, a gentle smile graced his lips. It was a sight he had never imagined—a vision of serenity that had eluded them for far too long.
