Chapter 30 A Hot Mess

• Liana POV
• When I woke up next, the soft glow of morning light peeked through the cave's entrance, nudging me gently. I opened my eyes and realized I was actually wrapped in Darius's arms. His warmth surrounded me, and I could feel his steady heartbeat against my back. Embarrassment coated my insides. How did we end up in this position? Was the dream that I had actually a reality? I had slept so peacefully, without a care in the world, after ages. But was it because of Alpha Darius?
• I tried to move, slowly sliding out from his hold. But his arms tightened around me, pulling me closer. "Where do you think you're going?" he murmured, his deep voice rough from sleep.
