Chapter 28 : Lead the Way

*Mila*

After a long, much needed shower, I finished cleaning up the mess I’d made with the flowers and the water. My palm still stung from my cut but the bandage Soren had put on was still in place.

I tried not to think about our conversation but after I’d finished cleaning up, I couldn’t keep the thoughts out.

Plopping down in a chair, I put my elbows on the table and glared across the room.

Soren was so annoying! He’d basically forced me to tell him about my past and then brushed it all off. At the same time, I was almost relieved that he’d gotten me to talk about it so I could face some of those buried memories.

Was there a reason I had chosen to share with him?

A lot of those memories I needed to remember and process. I’d been burying them for so long. Now that they’d flooded to the surface I had a better understanding of myself and why I was always trying to run.

But I could never outrun what I’d done. I’d been responsible for the deaths of so many witches. My own kind…

And now I knew. I was grateful to know the truth, no matter how horrific it was.

As the sun set, I watched the darkness descend out my window. Along with the darkness came thicker, denser fog.

I went to the window and looked down at the street. With the fog, I could barely see the street lights down below.

Were we going to make it back to the temple in this mess? I don’t think I’d seen fog this thick since we arrived. Was it an omen that we shouldn’t go? Was it a warning?

My stomach gurgled and I rubbed it to calm it down.

After Soren made his threat, I wasn’t going to risk calling his bluff. There was a big part of me that thought he was bluffing but… I couldn’t take that chance. Not with how many bounty hunters were roaming around.

As much as I didn’t want to, I was going to have to work with him. Sure, I’d asked for his help, but I didn’t realize he’d want to babysit me every step of the way.

Sighing, I bowed my head. I supposed he’d have to if he was going to protect me. I already knew I couldn’t outrun or hold off all the bounty hunters on my own.

When the clock struck ten, I changed into an all black catsuit to help me blend in with the darkness. I opened the hotel room door and saw Soren waiting for me in the hallway. He stood stoically in the shadows, his arms crossed.

He had changed, too.

Like me, Soren was wearing all black. His outfit was skin tight and I could see the outlines of his muscles through the black, stretchy fabric.

I raked my eyes over the lines of his exposed muscles, and the ones carefully hidden by his shirt. Even with a shirt on, I could still clearly imagine what his chest and abs looked like naked.

My cheeks reddened and I looked down. Flashes of his bulging arms and thick… muscles covering me flickered in my mind. I felt a memory of his fingers on my skin, his lips on my neck.
