Bonus Chapter – Aria & Sebastian (5)

“Rivers know this. There is no hurry. We shall get there someday.” A.A. Milne

After downing the cup of tea Sebastian had given her, Aria drifted off to sleep again. It was if her body was trying to make up for lost time. The mattress in the guest room was probably the most comfortable bed she’d ever slept on. It was

much cozier than her childhood bed, and it was about ten steps up from the bunk bed she’d had at Alpha Liam’s pack.

At least she’d gotten a bunk bed. The women had slept ten or fifteen to a room, and only the favorites got bunk beds.

The rest had been relegated to thick mats and blankets on the floor.

Still, it wasn’t a very restful sleep — she had nightmares of Alpha Liam.

the night sky. She must’ve slept through the rest of the day.

“Hey, are you okay?”

Aria gasped again when she heard another voice, but she almost immediately relaxed when she recognized her mate’s

voice.

She turned to look at him, and her eyebrows furrowed when she saw he was sprawled out on a recliner next to the bed, a

light blanket in his lap. From the way his dark hair stuck up and he rubbed his eyes, she could guess that her nightmare

had woken him up too. He wore a tight tank-top that strained against his broad chest, and she tried not to think about

how beautiful he looked half-asleep.
