Back Home

Samantha’s POV

Damien and I sat on the porch looking out at the night waiting on any word from Lucien. The night was quiet but my mind was full of voices, voices that were not my own. I couldn’t place them, I couldn’t quiet them down. I was exhausted and it was starting to show.

“The treaty has been signed,” Damien said looking over at me as he pushed the swing back off with his feet.

“No war?”

Damien shook his head, “not with Nikko, dad however is still unclear.”

Frowning I looked up at the mood, “is Lucien really back normal?”

Once again Damien shook his head, “yes. He snapped out of it the moment he sensed you were in danger. I think Nikko might have knocked him down a peg or two by taking you. Lucien has always thought he was untouchable.”
