Chapter 372

DANE

I walked down the corridor as I held the empty jug of water in my hand, I woke up thirsty and there was no water in my room. I didn’t want to disturb Aurora by calling the servants, so I just took the jug out to refill.

I got in the kitchen and I met Joclyn. From the sizzling sounds. that greeted me, I knew she was preparing a dish. “Joclyn… so you haven’t let go of this habit?” I asked with a smile as I reached her.

She turned back to me with a silly frown. “I was hungry, what else could I do?”

“Hungry, huh? But you already had dinner, didn’t you?” I asked while moving to the sink to refill the jug. After placing it back in the fridge, I grabbed another identical jug of cold water that had been chilling inside..

“Of course I had dinner, but that was for the evening, and this is for the night.”

I chuckled as I turned to see her standing there, defensive with her arms across her chest.

Joclyn wore an overflowing night dress, her hair up in a bun and her eyes narrowed at me. “Do you have the gift of youth and

vitality?”

She raised a brow at me, I dropped the jug on the centre table and walked down to grab a glass… I took two glasses.

“What do you mean?” she asked.

The sound of the cold water pouring into the glass followed as I kept mute, I handed her one of the filled glasses and I took the other as I sat on a chair in the corner.

“I mean, you never seem to age. You’ve looked and acted the same all these years.”

She smiled. “All these years huh?” she asked as she went to check what she ws frying. “How long has it been already?”

I shrugged, “A decade?”

“Two…” she corrected. “Two decades of living this life, Dane.”

I sighed as I took a deep breath. I recalled when Joclyn was first brought to the pack house. She was in her twenties then and I was just a teenage boy. We started off as friends before our duties and busy lives tore us apart. We were almost as close as siblings.

“Back then when I knew you would be in the kitchen every night and I would come just to taste what you were cooking.”
