Betrayed by Blood
Chapter 162~
The room was warm, and Avery stared awake, her eyes fluttering open as she turned her head slightly, watching him from the comfort of the bed. Cain stood by the wardrobe, pulling on a dark shirt, his back to her. The muscles in his shoulders flexed as he adjusted the sleeves.
She let herself watch him for a moment, still caught in the haze of sleep. It had become a habit now to wake up and find him near, to feel his presence even before she opened her eyes.
"Alpha?" Her voice was groggy, laced with sleep.
Cain turned to look at her, a small smile on his lips the moment he laid eyes on her. "Hey," he said, walking towards the bed and leaned down, kissing her softly on the lips. "Slept well?" he asked.
Avery flushed hard, remembering how last night had gone. Again, she spent it in Cain’s room, which wasn’t surprising at this point. Even though she had her own room, she spent the majority of her time in his room.
"I did," she mumbled, her eyes flicking up and down, taking note of his outfit. "Are you going somewhere today?" she asked.
Cain hummed, "We are going somewhere today," he replied.
Avery blinked, his words slowly sinking in. She pushed herself up onto her elbows, her sleep-muddled mind struggling to keep up.
"We?" she repeated.
