Mink’s P.O.V
I stirred in my sleep, vaguely aware of the persistent banging on my door. It took a few moments for the sound to penetrate my slumber-clouded mind and for me to realize that someone was rapping urgently against the wood.
As the noise grew louder and more insistent, I groaned, dragging myself reluctantly from the warm embrace of my blankets while Abhay slept soundly beside me.
"Who could be pounding on my door like a maniac at this ungodly hour?" I muttered to myself, rubbing my eyes sleepily as I stumbled across the room. The predawn darkness enveloped me like a heavy cloak as I fumbled for the doorknob, my fingers clumsy with sleep.
"Ruksaar, is that you?" I called out groggily, my voice thick with exhaustion. The pounding continued, growing even louder and more frantic with each passing moment. With a frustrated sigh, I swung the door open, fully prepared to give Ruksaar a piece of my mind for disturbing my much-needed rest.
