Things would be easier if I could tell her.
Uncle Rob was right, and being with Laylah in any way, especially like we were, is a dangerous game. I wasn’t going to have s*x with her in the middle of the grove, but I don’t know that I could have held Valerian back from marking her if he decided it was time.
I spent hours in the training ring after she left me. I got so worried that I’d sweat her scent off my shorts that I took them off, too. If anyone came to find me, they were too scared to say anything. No one bothered me, which I’m thankful for.
Laylah’s face after I kissed her the last time destroyed me. She thinks she shouldn’t love me. She wants to leave. She doesn’t want me near her. It wasn’t the last time, though. It’s only a few months, I remind myself, though
