It was now night when Adina stepped into her room. Thorne had left her to attend to some things, so she found herself back in her room instead of his, as he wanted.
She let out a breath, her eyes flicking over the room. She hadn't been there in days, which felt strange. The room still carried her scent, but now mixed with a hint of Thorne's scent.
Adina smiled, resting her back against the door. She bit her lip shyly as she remembered the way he had held her in front of his men. She felt special, the most special she had felt in a while.
She still remembered him telling her to keep their mating a secret and to cover his mark, but now he was holding her publicly. She wanted to scream out loud, overwhelmed with joy. When the rogue incident had happened in the forest, Adina had thought it was the end of her life. She thought she would be ruined for eternity, but now, knowing that was what brought Thorne closer to her, she didn't feel as strongly about it anymore.
