My heartbeat kicked up a notch as I grabbed my cloak and hurried out. The wind slapped my face the moment I stepped outside, but I didn’t care. I needed him.
Fifteen minutes later, I found him training with some younger warriors near the eastern clearing. He caught my scent before I got close and turned.
His eyes locked on mine, and he instantly knew.
He jogged over, wiping sweat off his brow.
“Luna? What happened?”
I looked around at the crowd and swallowed hard.
“Can we talk? Privately?”
Concern etched his face. He nodded and led me toward a small stone bench near the sparring caves, far enough from curious ears.
The second we sat down, the tears started again.
“I....I need to tell you something, but you have to promise me, Beta Luca. You can’t say a word. Not even to Aiden.”
