Chapter 210: _Someone Powerful.
Dinner ended soon after and everyone said their goodbyes. Sir Alan and the others returned to their various homes while the rest of the family retired to their rooms.
I escorted Phoebe gently to my suite. She was visibly relaxed and I could tell that she was happy.
When we entered, I wasted no time to pull off my clothes for a shower. As the water ran through my body, I thought of everything we had gone through.
The guilt, the betrayal, the sacrifice, the rumors from the men in the pack lands, Phoebe’s breakdown and of course the impending unknown.
I lost track of time of how long I stayed under the water. Desperately wishing the water could wash away my pain and worries as it ran through my body.
After what felt like an eternity, I finally got out of the shower, stepping into the room. I caught sight of Phoebe sprawled in bed, sleeping already.
I smiled as I saw her gentle features, her face as delicate as a flower. Her face showed how peaceful her sleep must be.
She must have been so tired that she couldn’t wait to have her bath before sleeping or maybe I just stayed so long that she couldn’t wait anymore.
At that moment, I silently vowed to give whatever it would take, anything at all, to give her the peace that she truly deserved.
I got in bed and tucked her in next to me, placing her head on my chest. She snuggled closer to me, placing her leg over mine.
We hadn’t slept like that since we came back from the ancient ones’ realm.
