Chương 69: Chapter 69

That night I hardly slept. I couldn't stop thinking about the ring and the letter and how it got to the doorstep.

Leo was right next to me and had promised not to fall asleep until I did. But I felt terrible keeping him up, especially as he was so busy with being Alpha at the moment, so I had closed my eyes and pretended to be asleep until I heard his gentle sleeping breaths.

Lying wide awake in bed was beginning to drive me mad so I got up and wandered down the moonlit hall. It was a clear starry night and I stopped by one of the long windows. The forest was perfectly still and peaceful but I couldn't bring myself to look for long before I shivered and had to shift my eye away. There was something unsettling about the darkness that the branches created.

My throat was dry and I was craving a glass of icy water so I went downstairs.
