Chapter 34

Lily was growing fond of him.

She couldn’t help the joy she felt each day when she snuck from the palace to report to Damon.

He had gone from a hostile shadow in the night to a smiling beam of sunlight, standing atop that old witch’s knoll. They hadn’t talked about the night together, but Lily suspected all the worried feelings he held inside—much like her own—had vanished after they once again became comfortable with one another’s company.

For the most part, Lily came only to report her findings—that she’d spotted the room he spoke about. That the door was locked. That Leon had said it was out of servers, and that likely meant his mate had been moved somewhere else.
