Chapter 37: Powers

I woke slowly in the morning, hearing the crackling of a fire next to me. I opened my eyes and looked around, panicking for a moment at the unfamiliar surroundings. Then the events of yesterday hit me, followed shortly by the events of last night. I pulled the blanket tighter around me as the onslaught of memories ravaged my brain.

Last night was… amazing. No other word for it. Quite possibly the best night of my life. I knew I should be upset. I slept with a vampire. I went back on everything that I had ever been taught. I should be feeling something other than complete contentment. I kept waiting to feel regret, but it never came. All I knew was that I had the best sleep I'd had in years, even if it was curled up next to Ezra on the floor.
