Liora stared at him as though she could scarcely believe what she had just heard.
"You've completely lost your mind."
A faint trace of amusement touched his tired expression.
"Probably."
He closed his eyes.
"I haven't slept well in so many days."
There was no exaggeration in his voice.
Only simple truth.
Within moments, the steady rhythm of his breathing began to deepen, he needed more rest for his body.
Liora continued staring at him for several seconds before slowly turning her attention toward the closed chamber doors.
Liora turned and looked at the Alpha lying beside her once more before releasing a long, exasperated sigh that sounded remarkably familiar.
It was the same sigh she used to make months ago whenever Thessian managed to frustrate her beyond words, and hearing it again seemed strangely out of place after everything they had endured.
