Mira's body went limp so suddenly that Lucas had to lunge forward to catch her quickly before she hit her head on the floor.
One moment she was staring at him so scared shitless and the next she was a dead weight in his arms.
He adjusted his grip by putting an arm under her knees and the other supporting her back only to realize that she was lighter than usual.
Idiot, he thought as he felt a bit of anger.
What on earth was she doing out here at night?
Her breathing was getting uneven as short and panicked gasps came from her in ways that were obvious that she had not yet settled into true sleep.
Why was she even allowed into these woods? No one thought to stop her?
Someone should have stopped her before she even came to the woods, they should have warned her that no one came into the estate's woods, especially at night. There was a reason it's off-limits.
But then, knowing her stubbornness, she might not have listened anyway.
