It wasn't until the fire in the stove crackled loudly that Seraphina Caldwell snapped back to reality and pushed him away.
Gideon Larkin quickly whispered, "Did I hurt you? I'm sorry, I didn't mean to..."
Seraphina Caldwell turned her head, stammering, "No, it's nothing. I'm just hungry. What are we eating tonight?"
At this moment, Wyatt Yardley lifted the Beast Skin at the door and walked in.
"Awake? Kaelan Hawthorne is roasting meat outside, it'll be ready soon."
Seraphina Caldwell's eyes lit up when she saw him.
She moved closer to the bed.
"Is everything settled?"
Wyatt Yardley walked to the bedside and gazed at her cheeks.
"Mm, all taken care of."
What happened in the stone cell was not simple, but he chose not to say.
Seraphina Caldwell looked at the gentle light in his eyes, and her heartbeat suddenly slowed a beat.
Her heart softened, and she impulsively grabbed his hand, pressing it against her burning cheeks.
Wyatt Yardley's hand was cool.
