Chapter 87 – The Distance Between Them
POV: Liora
The strangest part wasn't the whispers.
It wasn't the way wolves stared when they thought I wasn't looking, or how some of them lowered their heads while others avoided meeting my eyes altogether.
It wasn't even the fact that I could feel things now that I had never been able to feel before.
The strangest part was Kael.
Three days ago, I would have said there was no one in Blackmoor easier to understand than him.
Kael was many things. Stubborn. Controlling when he thought someone was in danger. Annoyingly protective. But he was never difficult to read.
If he was angry, I knew.
If he was worried, I knew.
If he was hiding something, I usually knew that too.
Now I wasn't so sure.
I sat near the window of my chamber, watching the training grounds below while absentmindedly tracing my fingers over the edge of a book I hadn't actually read.
The bond had changed after the awakening.
That much was impossible to ignore.
