Chapter 36

Kara

Things in the Crimson moon pack were strange. My surroundings shifted, and I blinked in surprise as I realised I was no longer on the omega floor, but back in my old room once again. Not only had I never been sleeping better, but I also woke up feeling refreshed and rejuvenated. A comforting warmth enveloped me, providing a sense of security and cosiness. Things I had never felt before when sleeping. My nightmares were becoming less frequent, too.

Despite the fiery caramel smell I would wake up to. I hadn’t seen Elio in days. Either he was watching me sleep or I do not know what he was doing. But at some point in the night, he would creep into my room because his scent was gradually seeping everywhere. My pillows, duvet, clothes, hair reeked of it.

I caught Marquis giving me curious glances when he would walk with me around the castle. Every time I would almost trip or fall, he would hastily rush to catch me then immediately take several paces back as if nothing had happened.
