Chapter 250 250: The beginning - Father's request...

Neriah

He took a slow step forward, closing the distance between us. His scent filled the air…

"You've been thinking about me, haven't you?" he asked, his eyes gleaming with mischief.

My breath caught in my throat. How did he know? How could he see through me so easily? What did he say about me being brave enough to listen?"

"I…"

"You don't have to lie." His voice was smooth, and low, like velvet dragging against my skin. "I could feel it."

A shiver ran down my spine, but I couldn't look away.

"What are you?" I heard myself asking again. I didn't know what to say. I didn't know what to ask him.

He tilted his head, his smile flickering – half amusement, half something darker.

"I'm… many things." He took another step closer, and this time, my feet automatically backed away until my back hit the rough bark of another tree. His fingers brushed along the edge of my hair, feather-light. "But none of that matters right now."

My heart was pounding so hard, I was afraid he could hear it. The air around us felt charged, humming with something dangerous… something forbidden.

"Corvus…" I whispered; his name rolled off my tongue like a secret.

The man leaned in slightly, close enough that I could feel the heat radiating off his body. "Neriah," he whispered. "My honeybee…"

My lips parted. Something about this man, about his name, sent a strange ache through my chest – like I'd known it long before I ever heard it. There was this connection I felt…I couldn't explain it. Couldn't put it in words.

"I shouldn't be here," I whispered, more to myself than to him.

"No, you shouldn't," his eyes gleamed with wicked amusement. "But you came anyway and that's because you feel it too."

His voice was a lure, pulling me deeper into something I didn't fully understand. I ignored the pull and tried to focus on him.

"What are you doing in these woods? What's this history between you and my father? Why were my father's elite warriors chasing you? He only uses them for severe situations – mostly life-threatening. Are you a dangerous man, Corvus?"

His smile faded, just a little.

"I've been waiting for you, Neriah. I wasn't expecting hugs and kisses but you ask too many questions of answers that I cannot give you. Questions you may not want to know the answers to."

I didn't hear the rest of what he said. My mind picked only the first sentence.

"For what?"
