Under the Veil I Rule

Chapter 341

Amara had just finished her shower in the guest room, and as she glanced at the clock, she realized it was nearly eleven. She decided it was time to hit the sack.

She had a cup of coffee earlier in the evening, so she wasn't feeling particularly sleepy. After tossing and turning for a bit, she picked up her phone and started reading a novel to pass the time.

About an hour later, sleep finally began to creep in. She put her phone down, stifled a yawn, and was just drifting off when she heard a soft click. Though faint, the sound was unmistakable.

She forced her eyes open, trying to figure out what was happening. Before she could fully register, the comforter was lifted, and someone slipped into bed beside her.
