Chapter 410

The emotional shock had been too much-Mila was utterly spent.

She drifted in and out of sleep, barely awake before exhaustion pulled her under again. The next time she came to, she found herself tangled in Lysander's arms.

Remembering all the suffering she'd endured because of him, resentment welled up in her chest. Without thinking, she sank her teeth into his hand, which rested heavily near her collarbone.
