Chapter 96

  Niya’s heart is thundering when she received the message that her father is awake, or step father technically. She doesn’t want to be brooding and miserable now that she has taken such a big step of allowing Chase to imprint on her. She has to be responsible no matter what and the first step of responsibility is to accept the facts as they are instead of living in denial. The delusions will not help her but moving on forward from the scars of reality will. Hands clasped in Chase’s she enters the royal cottage where a matron leads them to the room where her father is resting.

  Vivian is sitting on the bed by her father and surprisingly Remy is standing behind her with her hands bandaged. Niya knows there are other bandages in his body hidden under his t-shirt.

  “Remy? How are you feeling now?” Chase asks sparing Niya of what she wanted to ask herself but cannot.

  “I am good, thanks.” He answers coldly sweeping his eyes once on Niya.
