Chapter 37: The Truth

Weeks passed, and Cohen and I only grew closer.

We never spoke about our feelings or the contract, but they were constantly on my mind and sometimes I caught him staring at me with a strange, almost sad expression.

The shifters stayed and Cohen and his teams spent almost every evening in the city hunting down the vampire behind the attacks. Though we didn't speak much about that either, I could tell it was eating him up. I tried to be there for him when he was home and made sure to always have baked goods at the ready.
