Tabitha was unsure how to react to Silas's behavior, but she found it enjoyable, and it positively impacted her mental state.Everything that had happened to her wasn’t something she could take lightly. It affected her significantly, but Silas’s presence, just like that night, made her feel a bit better.“I have a few questions for you,” Tabitha stated. She decided to engage in the conversation with Silas, considering he was the only one present and had initiated it.It wasn't that she fully trusted Silas to open up to him; rather, she pondered what more harm could come after everything she had already experienced. It wasn't about letting him in completely. Tabitha simply desired a moment of freedom from it all, and Silas appeared to be the only person there for her.“Go ahead,” Silas stated. He placed his elbows on the table and stared at Tabitha. His tone and gesture showed he had a big interest in what she had to say.Tabitha felt wanted but she didn't let it get to her. She brush

After her meal, Tabitha did the dishes and then went to her new room, puzzled by the sudden weakness and drowsiness she was experiencing.Upon reaching her room, she immediately lay in bed and began staring into space. Memories of what had happened throughout the day flashed through her mind.The 12th of June marked a significant turning point in her life.Tabitha had no idea if she was truly safe in the place she currently was, but the bed was, at least, very comfortable. So comfortable that she continued to think of its texture as she lay on it before gradually falling asleep.After freshening up, Silas returned to the dining area, half expecting to find Tabitha sleeping at the dining table, but she wasn't there.He could sense how relaxed she was, and it made Silas happy that Tabitha felt comfortable in his house.Silas left the kitchen and made his way to Tabitha's room. He wanted to check on her, but upon reaching her room door, he found it locked.“Oh, Tabitha!” Silas groaned in

Gradually, as Sarafina comforted her, Tabitha decided to let go and accept her fate. What has happened has happened. Speaking and reminiscing about them had only caused her heart to ache once more, making her shed tears for people who didn’t deserve it."Are you okay now?" Sarafina asked when she noticed that it seemed like Tabitha's wailing had subsided."I just want happiness, Sarafina," Tabitha replied, slowly withdrawing from the hug."You can find happiness if you consider Silas. He seems like a very good man. From what I heard, he's not fond of women. People speculate he's interested in men or, perhaps, he's... you know, unable. But suddenly, he came into a wedding party and carried a lady who turned out to be you. Why would he do that?" Sarafina paused, giving Tabitha a chance to respond."Exactly my point. Why would he do that?" Tabitha felt relieved that someone understood her perspective.However, Tabitha was quick to assume that Sarafina saw things the way she did."Perhaps

Tabitha's eyes remained closed even as Silas moved his hand to touch her lips with his finger. He stayed in that position, gazing at Tabitha's face with undisguised desire. The soft sensation in his finger fueled an overwhelming temptation as he continued to caress her lips.Silas longed to have all of Tabitha to himself again, just like that night.“Why aren't you kissing her?” Kevin inquired, puzzled by Silas's prolonged stare.“She said she didn't want me to kiss her. I don't want to anger her or make it seem like I'm forcing her,” Silas replied to his wolf.“She wants it, Silas. Can't you see? Her eyes are closed, and her face is pointing directly at you,” Kevin tried to explain, attempting to persuade Silas, but Silas stood his ground.It wasn't that Silas didn't want to take Tabitha's lips right there and then, but he didn't want it to come at the cost of something he wouldn't want, like Tabitha getting angry with him or feeling forced to kiss.Tabitha had a countdown. With her

“Master Silas seems to be on cloud nine at the moment,” Andrew playfully teased Silas, observing as Silas leaned close to his food on the table.“You can't imagine how thrilled I am to know that she thinks I'm better than her ex,” Silas mind-linked Andrew in response. His gaze drifted toward Tabitha, and it felt as if he were falling in love with her all over again. Seeing her, a sense of peace enveloped him.“He's an excellent kisser, and he... I don't want to discuss it. I still find him suspicious. He claimed he waited for me for 12 years. How is that possible?” Tabitha whispered to Sarafina, believing neither Silas nor his assistant, Andrew, could hear them.“Maybe he had been in love with you since high school, but you didn't know him back then,” Sarafina suggested, finding her theory plausible. “That could be the case.” She then nodded at her theory.“True,” Tabitha responded with a slightly perplexed tone, glancing at Silas. “Then it's sweet that he waited, but it's even more s
