Chapter 9
Aleera POV
My head throbbed, and the back of my eyes ached but not nearly as much as my jaw does. I groaned, forcing my eyes open when I realized I wasn‘t on the hard concrete floor of the dungeon. No, I felt warmer and comfortable. I blink, trying to clear the blurriness of my vision to find a man sitting next to m e, and I am in a bedroom on a bed.
The man stared like he was looking through me as I jerked upright and pulled away from him. He had blonde hair that looked like he had just run his fingers through it only moments before. His blue eyes were the lightest shade I had ever seen, almost so pale they were almost white. If it weren‘t for my enhanced eyesight, I would have assumed they were until he blinked. The color returned to them. I wondered where his mind went as the color returned, and his eyes were now a startling cerulean blue.
“Drink, please,” he says, reaching beside me for the tall glass o f water. He hands it to me, and I clutch it in shaky hands.” Please,” He repeated, and for some unknown reason, I didn‘t like the idea of upsetting him, so I quickly obeyed, bringing the glass to my lips. The icy liquid pours into my mouth, which is so dry I gulp it down before nearly choking on it.
“Slow. Not so fast,” he murmurs, gripping the glass. My fingers tingle where his bumped mine. He slowly tips the cup up, allowing me to drink what is left in it.
He goes to open his mouth to say something else when the door opens suddenly, and he turns his head to look at who entered, and so do I. Tobias leans on the doorframe. I quickly look away from him, back to the man sitting beside me, and I know who he is.
“You are Kalen?” I whisper, and his face turns back to me. He studied me for a second before shifting closer to me, his hand outstretched, and I wondered if he was going to hit me, but he didn‘t seem like he was going to. I didn‘t have time to find out when Tobias spoke from the doorway.
