As the door shuts behind him, my small smirk fades away, and I look around the cottage. That cosy touch feels empty… My stomach drops, guilt filling me, followed by a void, one so deep it almost hurts to

escape him, escape what I did. I messed up and once Royce finds out…
I sigh heavily, feeling sick with guilt and I
turn away, shutting the door, hoping hist scent won’t linger too long.
“Meow?”
Malevolent’s whine draws my attention to
her, and I smile softly as I crouch down and
scoop her into my arms. “Come on, little
one.” I whisper, nuzzling my nose into her
