Chapter 243
Chapter 243:
His expression gave nothing away, but I knew the words had sunk in. I turned around and left.
Despite my threat to Caden, I was still restless. I knew the bastard. He was just like me and wouldn’t back down easily. I’d have to find a way to handle him like I did the last time.
During the two-hour drive back to Darkspire, I was completely restless and needed something to calm me down. In all of this, there was only one person I could think of who could help.
It had only been a few hours, yet I already missed her like she held the oxygen for my lungs. I wanted to see her face, despite how bruised it was at the moment.
It didn’t mean a thing to me.
Had she been okay since I was away? Had the doctors checked on her again? Taking out my phone, I called the Pack doctor and was relieved when she told me they had just checked on her for the second time today.

I turned and went a different way. In a minute, I was in front of her door. I knocked, and my suspicions were confirmed when her faint voice came from inside. I was right. She’d left me. But why did she leave my room? Wasn’t she comfortable? Was there a problem she didn’t want to talk about?
I opened the door and found her lying in bed, her face still pale. She looked exhausted. Was she still in pain?
“Hey,” she smiled faintly. “You’re back p>
Seeing her like this made me wish I’d done more than just kill Caden’s men. I should’ve bruised the bastard as well.
“How are you feeling?” I kept my voice calm despite the rage in my head.
“Better than I was this morning,” she chuckled—and winced right after.
Damn it; she was still in pain.
“You moved. You missed your room, huh p>
