Chapter 189: The Little Stubborn Girl.

Renn traced his fingers along her face, still unable to believe what had just happened between them. It felt unreal, like a dream so beautiful he never wanted to wake from. His heart knew the peace of it, but his mind reminded him that his brothers would soon come, angry and disappointed, maybe even ready to break his door down. He had already prepared himself for that.

It wasn’t his fault, he told himself. Fate had only chosen him to be the first, and he couldn’t stop himself from feeling lucky. He leaned down to kiss her forehead, watching her sleep, her lashes resting softly against her cheeks. She had been asleep for hours, her body worn out, and he had not dared to wake her because she needed that rest.

When her eyes fluttered open at last, Renn’s chest tightened. He cupped her face gently, his voice soft with affection. "The queen is awake."

Her gaze on him brought a rush of surprise, and for a moment he feared she might not remember what had happened, or worse, that she might regret it. The thought alone made his heart ache.

"How long have I been sleeping?" Angela asked, her voice quiet as she tried to focus her eyes. She caught the faint shadow in his expression, and it made her wonder if he thought she didn’t want to be there with him.

"Three, maybe four hours. It’s evening now," he replied.

"I overslept," she murmured, moving closer to him until she was nestled in his arms. She tilted her face up at him, and his lips curved into a smile as he held her tighter, making sure there was no space between them.

"No, my love. You needed it." He pressed a tender kiss to her forehead, his words filled with warmth. "I’m the reason you’re tired."

Angela smiled, her voice barely above a whisper. "It was worth it."
