Chapter 6 Six

• Liam sat in silence as the car drove further and further to his mate his. His wolf was beyond delighted that they were finally going to be reunited again and was on edge, but Liam was able to keep his wolf in check and stay relaxed. He had this feeling also. Fear? was that it? Fear of seeing her again? Fear that he was going to hurt her like he did before? He would never forget the way she had looked at him the day she had left the Palace. There was pain in her eyes and he could also see it...how much he cared for him, but he was too big of a fool to stop her ans instead had to let her go only to leave in regret for the past few months. He had not been himself since she left and felt like it was the shell of his real self. He had not been himself for centuries, but with her, it was far worse. Spending just a few months away from her was far more torturous than the last centuries he has spent. He had tried his best to convince himself that it was just the mate bond between them, but he knew better.
• He sighed deeply, and Devon, who was sitting close, glanced at him. "Is everything all right, Liam?" Devon couldn't stop himself from asking any longer... He knew Liam wasn't the kind to talk about his feelings, but he was worried. It was like he was far off somewhere else, and only his body was here. "I'm fine," Liam answered simply, his eyes on the road. He had a deep frown on his face, Devon noticed. "No, you are not," Devon muttered, but Liam heard him and finally turned to look at his younger brother. "What are you trying to say?" Liam asked, and Devon scoffed. "You don't look fine. I had a talk with Lilac last night. she is worried about you. everyone is worried about you. You..." Devon trailed off and sighed.
• "If you knew this would take such a toll on you. why did you let her go?" Devon asked. He was trying hard to understand Liam, but sometimes it was hard. He had purposely decided on riding with Liam after A talk with Lilac the previous night. He didn't want to interfere, but now he couldn't stop himself. Someone needed to talk some sense into the king!
