Chapter 69

• *What Are You Going to Do With Me?*
• The first rays of sunlight filtered through the bedroom blinds, casting faint stripes over the bed where Selene lay, bound to Elias. She had slept peacefully throughout the night, and Elias was grateful for that, but now she had woken up. She yanked her wrist against the cuff with frustration, the sounds of metal clanking rhythmically.
• Seeing nothing was working, she frustratingly turned to him with a daggered glare as Elias lay beside her, nonchalant and calm as ever, with an arm lazily tucked behind his head, staring at the ceiling as he hummed a small song—a stark contrast to Selene’s simmering anger.
