章 28: Chapter 28 | Naiad

"What are you hiding from me, Xianne?" His voice was low and urgent, sending shivers down my spine.

My hands shook, bloodied fingers clenching into fists to hide the worst of it. "N-nothing."

I felt he wanted to say something more but decided not to say anything. He cupped my face, forcing me to meet his gaze. His touch was both gentle and commanding, grounding me in the moment.

My eyes tried to escape his, but it was hard. He had me on the corner, forcing me to say my secret. And for once, I just want to be toppled over, I want to fall. I'm tired of keeping the dam at bay.

I have never been so lonely in my life. I miss Garret's comforting hugs, his sweet voice, and his teas. I miss him so much, that I want to forget everything that's happening.

And just accept my fate, accept that I'll be losing Circe, and die.

But I hate how I still try to be unemotional. I cannot do that to my wolf. I love her too, I don't want to be selfish.
