The next morning, everyone woke up early.
Since they had gone to bed soon after nightfall, rising before the sun came naturally. Even the carriage driver looked refreshed, having enjoyed an uninterrupted night's sleep.
"Were you awake the whole night?" Monica asked, concern filling her voice as she spotted her mate standing beneath a nearby tree.
Luke nodded. "Yeah. But it's fine. I'll sleep in the carriage."
"You shouldn't have sacrificed your sleep, Luke," Roxanne said, unable to hide the worry in her voice. "You could've woken one of us instead."
Luke let out a quiet sigh.
How was he supposed to explain that while in his Lunar Warden form, exhaustion barely existed for him? The fatigue from days of traveling had completely disappeared the moment he transformed.
In fact, he had spent the entire night hunting the beasts that wandered too close to their campsite, simply to keep the restless energy surging through his body under control.
