Chapter 121 Taunting

• Alissia POV
• I wake up alone, the sheets cool beside me where Demitri should be. Rubbing my eyes, I climb out of bed, feeling the quiet emptiness of the room around me. I make my way to his closet, grabbing one of his shirts and slipping it on. The soft fabric falls over me, warm with his scent, and it gives me a small sense of comfort as I pad out into the hall.
• I follow the faint murmur of voices to the kitchen, where I find Demitri and Blake standing side by side, cooking and talking in low tones. They have this way of keeping their voices just low enough that I can’t make out the words, and it drives me a little crazy, like they’re in on a secret I’ll never know.
