She was dealing better with this recent tragedy than her first. Perhaps it was because this was not the first time it had happened. She didn’t have a name or a face to blame for her unwanted child and the belated tremors of aftershock. She believed she had managed to forgive her blood eyed father, and if not, then at least she had done her best to put her traumas behind her. She knew first-hand how it was to bathe daily in flashes of those gruesome memories. No, was it not better to attempt to look ahead into soft coated ice? She could not forget what had been done to her, but time allowed her to amend her perspective on life. Right now Silas was all she could see.

His words meant the world to her—it took a ridiculous amount of self-control for her to keep her cherry gaze fixated upon his face. Her cheeks really burned now, but it was a lovely, mind-numbing burn that allowed her to insist that her life held so much more meaning than it actually did. A feeling bloomed within her chest; something remotely similar to the salt, wet wash of hurt, but it was so different from that bad feeling that she knew so well. It was a quiet yearning for the male beside her. Her lips did not respond and mirror the male’s increasing smile. Ruby orbs fell slightly to adore the gentle, curving line that somehow managed to make the male’s face glow.

Did he really mean the things he said? Her heart’s increased pace drummed against its ribcage prison, she wanted to set it free and watch it soar. He continued to speak words that marinated her heart with loveliness. The slender Lykoi woman did not know what love really was, but she knew that she had never before been this close to loving another person. Her gaze was no longer as guarded as it had been earlier. She didn’t like exposing any part of her emotional self, but she couldn’t veil the adoration she held for him. ”Really?..” She felt out of breath. Silas decided to tell her more of his story, but she feared she turning into a poor listener. She was sincerely sad to hear that he blamed himself for his family’s departure!

She quickly repositioned herself, drawing her feet under her body and turning slightly so that she could face the male without having to turn her face. Her hand fell away from its comfortable position against his back and her palm felt cold now. Both of her hands settled on top of her knees as she continued to look at him. ”It’s not your fault,” she said, voice hushed by a growing lump in her throat. He was definitely way too good for Halo, but she was, as earlier stated, a very greedy person. Silas was very vulnerable right now. He had a lot on his mind. Russia was worlds away and he was all alone here. She was glad he had made these choices, for it had brought him into her life.

The things he had said.. With blood rushing through her head, she finally gave up; leaning closer to him so that she could intentionally drown in his lovely scent. Halo had been such a little tease in her younger days. Where had that part of her personality gone? She had loved her little games and the tension she could force on another male. Was it because she had found someone that she genuinely wanted? The woman’s heart pounded forcefully through her veins now and she couldn’t protest. ”I’m so happy you’re still here,” her voice murmured as hands quickly settled against his chest. He hadn’t moved much back when she had let that lonely hand rest on his muscular back, but it didn’t seem to have taken her impulsive courage away. Her slim muzzle sought the area on the neck just beneath a coal coloured ear. Perhaps she was temporarily insane, but even so she didn’t dare to pounce into an attempt to seal a kiss. It wasn’t far from it though, and she wondered what the hell she was doing; forcing herself on him so suddenly when what he needed was someone to listen to and comfort him.
