The next morning, I woke up next to Gaian with his strong arms wrapped around me. I slowly blinked my eyes open and stared up at the ceiling, somehow feeling even more power than yesterday swell through my body.
Morning sunlight flooded in through the windows. I inhaled deeply and frowned when I didn’t smell the sweet, fluffy waffles that Darius usually made in the morning.
“Darius,” the monster inside me whispered.
“Darius,” I furrowed my brows slightly and wondered where he had gone off to yesterday. After Gaian had marked me, he had seemed to have completely disappeared from the pack house. I searched everywhere for him because it was our time to spend together without the other two.
But he had left without so much as a good-bye or I’ll be back.
