Up On The Terrace (Ch. 56)

Neveah stepped out to the courtyard, glancing over the bustle as the guests evacuated the guest palace, seeming much too active than they had any rights to be.

Neveah wondered if posing to be a human for so long has made her accustomed to it, she actually felt completely exhausted and in desperate need of some sleep.

It was a few hours past dawn already and Alessio's crowning had been celebrated all night long up until the crack of dawn.

Although Neveah had retired early, she had barely gotten any sleep in. Her entire night had been spent tossing and turning in bed, trying to figure out exactly what had happened last night.

Neveah's hands clenched into fists as she once again recalled the feel of Alessio's lips on hers, the memory sending a shiver of disgust down her spine.

Alessio had kissed her last night, he had actually kissed her with such passion that it horrified her and then in the blink of an eye, he was gone.
