Human

Chapter 69

Logan's POV

I'd thought Malakai Rooks's one good eye held too much wisdom for his age—eyes that had seen across many lifetimes and decided the world was rotten at the core.

Now I wonder what he's survived to carry scars like that.

What horrors he's clawed through.

What beasts he's had to become.

He takes his shirt completely off, standing in the garden with only an inner white tank-top. If he feels embarrassed at being half naked in the garden of one of the most important buildings in the country, he doesn't show it. 

But I do feel embarrassed. For staring.
