Complicated (Ch.169)

Zariah breathed a quiet sigh as she dried herself and pulled on a robe, stepping out of the washroom and back into her bedroom.

Askel had been gone for a half hour now and Zariah had allowed herself doze off in the bath tub and now her skin and fingers were chilling cold to touch from being in the water too long.

"It seems being a half blooded mer does not make me anymore attuned to water." Zariah murmured with a shake off her head.

It would not be long now before any of the crimson wolves would come check on Zariah and Zariah knew she would be getting an earful if she was found up and about.

However, Zariah had been in the confines of this room for a month and a half already, it was long enough, all she wanted at this point was to feel the sun on her face, maybe then she would finally feel like she was truly alive.
