Chapter 217 Fears

• Rook POV
• Kade still clings to me, his head resting against mine, our bodies pressed together like he’s anchoring himself. My grip on him tightens for a moment, grounding both of us in this moment, in what just happened.
• There was never a doubt in my mind about how I felt about him, but if I’m being honest with myself, really honest. A small part of me had always wondered if he was here because he truly loved me or if it was just comfort, something familiar he had grown used to.
