Chapter 99 Trying Hard Not To Think Of The Future

• I wasn't convinced about the reading of minds. Deep down, I felt he was lying, but looking at him, I realized he might not. If he knew about my plans with Ryth, he wouldn't have been close to me. He would have told the others and circled the village, laying to waste everything and anything before we could do all we planned. Then after that, they will get rid of me last, for betraying them and toying with their emotions.
• Drake cast glances at me as we resumed our journey. I knew he couldn't read my memories because I wasn't that loud, but I couldn't help but imagine a situation where he had lied about that so I could keep my guard down and let him into my thoughts.
• “Are you certain you're okay?” He asked for the tenth time, his gaze wrapping around me like a gentle blanket, soft and reassuring. I couldn't even recall why I had hated him at first. A look from him and I was almost ready to drop my shorts.
