Ferrah
I pulled Onyx to his feet and he stumbled slightly. I grabbed his shoulders and steadied him. The sensation in my chest was almost unbearable with him this close. I could feel the thrum of my own magic pulsing beneath his skin. Knowing that I had given so much of myself to heal him filled me with an emotion that I didn’t have a name for.
He was staring at me in a way that made me think he could feel it too. I felt my face heating up.
I couldn’t tear my eyes away from Onyx. I was amazed that he had found me. I expected someone to come after me, but not him, personally. He’s the Alpha King and I broke a deal with him. Surely that meant that I was nothing more to him now than a rogue witch. He should be sending his men out to kill me, shouldn’t he?
I could only imagine the trouble that my escape had caused him. He had vouched for me. He had convinced the elders that I would be an asset to them and that they could trust me.
