Chapter 178 Prince Knox Oberon

• [KNOX]
• When I come back to myself, my hand is still tangled with hers, our fingers threaded together tightly. I’m bent over the side of the bed, over her sleeping figure. Maybe I thought if I stayed close enough, nothing inside that nightmare could reach her again.
• A slow breath leaves my mouth as I look at her. She’s peaceful like this, eyes closed and breathing even. Beside her, Vera lies curled into the mattress like a piece of living darkness. The wolf’s eyes are shut, but I know better than to mistake that for sleep. She’s alert. Especially now.
