Chapter 24: The Eternal Garden {4}
¤●¤
Cedric’s eyes never left Sylvia as she walks to the Heathcliff tent, he didn’t know what came over him, the thought of her being married off to another man struck something within him that he didn’t like, she should know better she was married to him and belonged to him.
His grip on the table clenched more, snapping the wood, he turned to it, luckily the table was supported by other woods, or else it would have been a disaster.
What’s becoming of him? And more this time it was hunger he felt, something he hadn’t felt in a long time and it made his insides turn.
His gaze drifts back to Sylvia now in the Heathcliff tent with Danette. Since the moment he laid eyes on her at their wedding, there was this pull he couldn’t explain, the kiss itself he couldn’t explain, he turned a blind eye to it, but then his powers were stirring and now hunger.
His green eyes beamed for a moment... there was something about this silver-haired that caught his attention and got him curious, she didn’t seem like the rest of the silver-haired, could it be because she was brought outside the walls of the Empire? Or something more.

"Why are your cheeks flushed?" Danette asked giggling like she knew something was up.
I cleared my throat.
"Nothing," I said, not meeting gaze with her. I was still flushed by what happened earlier, the kiss... at the mere thought of it, my body gave a feeling at my sides, I bit my bottom lip.
"If you say so," she said in a sing-tone voice, giggling again.
