Chapter 123: We Just Got Back Together

Knock. Knock. Knock.

“What...." I groaned, rolling over and colliding with Jared's chest.

Knock. Knock. Knock.

“Jared, Eliza?" Miriam's voice called from the hallway.

Jared sighed heavily and sat up. I pulled the covers over my head again. Once we got up, the magic from the night before would be gone for good and we'd have to face the world.

“What is it, Miriam?" Jared asked. He grabbed the sheet and pulled it down from my face.

“Hey," I whined quietly. I grabbed at the sheet again.

Jared pulled it away from me and shook his head. He winked at me and tickled my sides.

“Stop it!" I gasped, trying to stay quiet so Miriam didn't hear us goofing off.

“Jared, there's been an influx of refugees from the capital. Your messenger has returned and has a report you'll want to hear," Miriam said.

Jared immediately stopped tickling me.

“Sorry, love, it is time to get to work."

“I know." I sighed and stretched.

“We'll be right there, Miriam."

We dressed quickly and met Miriam in the hall. She gave us a look, like she didn't approve of something. Knowing Miriam, she probably thought we shouldn't be together since the mate bond was severed.

“Come with me."

I glanced at Jared with a sheepish grin and shrugged. He took my hand and we followed Miriam to the kitchen.

The messenger was at a table, scarfing down soup, sandwiches, and crackers like he hadn't eaten in days.

“Get this man some more food. He's starving," Jared said, motioning to one of the cooks.

“Right away!"

I sat down across from him. He was pretty dirty, too, his clothes ragged. He'd come straight to the kitchen to eat, it seemed, without cleaning up first.

“Are all of these refugees coming in from the capital?" I asked, opening the conversation.

The messenger swallowed a soggy lump of bread and nodded.

“The capital is a mess. Residents are leaving like crazy. They all want to get far away." he reported.

“Can you tell us what happened?" Jared asked. He sat beside me.

The messenger pulled something out of his pocket and handed it to Jared. It was my engagement ring....

“I couldn't deliver the message. I couldn't even get close to the palace." He hung his head somberly.

“That's not important right now. What did you see?" Jared encouraged.
