Chapter 52 : A Soul Exchange

*Soren*

Mila was quiet as we walked back to the inn. I knew she had a lot to think about with what we’d heard from Scarlett.

“Mila…”

“Yes?” she asked a little too quickly and a little too breathily.

I smirked and arched an eyebrow at her. “You know, I agree with the advice Scarlett gave you.”

“You promised to help me get revenge,” Mila said, narrowing her eyes.

“I did, and I will help you if that is indeed what you want. But you should think about what she said,” I rephrased.

We made it back to the inn. Payne was waiting for us on the porch. As soon as he saw us, he stood up and came down the stairs to meet us. It was a formal gesture of respect I didn’t expect or usually get from him.

I noticed how Payne’s eyes shot to Mila and he bowed his head slightly.

He looked at her like she was an important person or that he had some newfound respect or reverence for her.

“Welcome back. It took you two long enough,” he said in a gentle, respectful voice.

Normally, Payne would tease me.

“Boss, I have something to tell you,” Payne said, flicking his eyes to Mila.

“I can take a hint. I’ll see you later,” she said, nodding to me.

Mila smiled at Payne and headed inside the inn. His eyes followed her in an unusual way. If he was any other male, I might have taken it personally, but I knew that the way he looked at her wasn’t with lust or desire.

He was a little off today and I couldn’t understand what was going on with him. He seemed a little nervous and oddly docile at the same time.

Payne took a deep breath. “Do you remember the first time we met?”

“Payne, I’m not likely to forget that,” I replied.

“Remind me,” Payne said.

I creased my brow. I knew that he hadn’t forgotten. There was no way he could forget that. Apparently, we were having a deep conversation about our past, which was unusual.

“It was seven years ago,” I started quietly. I motioned to the porch where there were some wicker chairs.

Payne followed me and we took our seats on the porch.

“When I first saw you, you were in wolf form. Barely alive and caught in a battle between two southern packs. I heard Ashley crying. That’s what caught my attention and I went to check on her,” I recounted.

“She had a rough time with those battles,” Payne agreed, nodding somberly.
