I left her inside and walked out of the mansion to find Jay smoking. As soon as he saw me, he dropped the cigarette
and coughed while pretending not to smoke.
“I am sorry,” he excused.
“I am just stressed,” he said with a weak smile on his lips.
“Do you love Shiloh a lot?” I stopped beside him, feeling bad for trying to get information out of him. But I also
wanted to stay beside him and be an ear for him that he was unable to find.

“Trust me, it seems like I am the only one who loves her, but that’s not the case. She loved me equally. In fact, she
used to love me so much—she was all about me. She would call me her mate even when we never felt a mate
bond. As was kind and sweet to me, but then she changed,” he awkwardly looked away while trying to hide his
tears.
“What happened?” I questioned, and he shrugged.
“It feels so wrong to say this, but I think after she found out she is mates with a powerful creature like Akin, she just
lost her interest in me, and honestly speaking, it hurts me so much,” the honesty in his tone and the genuine fear of
losing her were visible in his tone.
I didn’t like what I was hearing. Because it also meant she would not rest until she got her hands on Akin. But then
again, how can someone forget their love just because they found out they are mates with someone who can give

“I will now rest—,” he then secretly cleaned his tears and forced a smile across his lips. Not wanting to put him
under any more pressure, I gave him a head nod, and soon he had walked back into the guesthouse.
I was confused by this conversation.
If she was so sweet and in love with him, there was no way she would fall out of love with him so easily.
“What is that look?” Colt was standing outside the mansion, waiting for my arrival.
“This girl is weird,” I commented, pointing my f*inger at the guesthouse from afar.
“What did she do this time?’ he asked, shoving his hands in his pockets.
“She—,” I said, trying to focus on the conversation.
“She–oh s*hit! Wait!” I held my f*inger up when trying to get some time to remember what we talked about, but
everything had been wiped clean from my memory, it seemed.
“Are you okay?” Colt frowned when he watched me struggle. I have never had such a weird feeling before, where I
don’t even remember what I did in the last few minutes.
“I went over there to have a talk with her, and I did—but now I don’t remember what we talked about,” I shook my
head, hissing at myself and hitting my head.
“Hey, you are tired. Don’t put yourself under so much stress. You haven’t had a good sleep and you were worried
the whole day, so maybe you just need a good sleep,” Colt wrapped his arm around my back and made me rest my
head on his shoulder to calm my agitated nerves down.
He then walked me into the mansion and left me at the door to my room, which I shared with Akin.
“Good night, and don’t worry about it,” he murmured, walking away to his room. I just stood outside the room,
staring at the door, and wondering what was happening to me.
My eyes remained in one spot. I gently pushed the door open and realized Akin was not even inside. A big frown
covered my forehead because I thought about him, and Helel said goodbye minutes ago. Something inside me told
me to look around for him.
I knew it was not normal for me to freak out so quickly, but tonight was different. I was feeling a weird energy
around me.
Just when I wanted to walk around and look for him, I found him coming out of the bathroom and staring my way
with a smile on his lips.
“Hey,” he said, stopping mid-track when he saw me zone out.
“Are you okay?” he asked with a little awkward laughter.
“I think I am just sleepy. What shocked me was the fact that I began to get worried so quickly when I did not find
him in bed. Something was definitely wrong. My mind was wandering around with weird, crazy thoughts that I had
to constantly shake off in order to not make me awkward but act up.
“It was a tiring day. But now–,” he mumbled, walking behind me and wrapping his arms around my body, making
me smile uncontrollably.
The instant his skin came into contact with mine, I began to feel normal and better. The haze brushed off, and I was
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmable to see and understand things clearly now. “I wanted to sleep with my fiancé,” Akin whispered in my ear,
k*issing my cheek and then suddenly carrying me in his arms.
I giggled when he dropped me on the bed and hugged me tightly, hiding me in his chest.
“I have to take a shower and change into my nightdress,” I complained when he didn’t free me from the cage of his
soothing arms.
“Shower in, my love,” he joked, but I could tell he didn’t want me to get up from the bed until he had fallen asleep.
Falling asleep while I was in his lap seemed to be his favorite hobby, and I didn’t want to take that away from him,
so I remained stagnant. Hearing his heartbeat helped me relax my muscles. After a few minutes of him breathing
calmly, I noticed he had fallen fast asleep.
Breaking free from his arms, I got out of bed and turned around to look at him. He looked peacefully asleep.
Smiling at his cute face, I left for the bathroom to take a shower.
While in the shower, I began to question my memory once again. For some reason, I couldn’t remember what I
talked with Shiloh about.
Letting out a sigh, I got out of the bathroom, but only to stare into space once again.
‘I need to go,’ I said to my dragon, wanting to shift and run around for a while. She remained silent, so I took it as
confirmation that she, too, wanted to do that.
Not thinking too much about why I had a sudden urge to fly around, I just left the room to be in the mountains and
transition into my full dragon form.
I don’t know what I did the whole night, as my memory was once again hazy, but when I woke up, it was something
straight from a horror movie. Especially when I woke up by Zane’s side.
