#Chapter48

Alarix's POV

She's worried. I can feel it through our bond... She's acting brave. She's pretending she's ok and I get it. I understand why she is. I had come to terms with me dying, but now it's not just me... It's all of us.

She doesn't have to be brave, not with me. She can let her guard down; she can let me in.

/"What do you want to talk about?/" She questioned, glancing at me as I pulled her along until we were standing under a large tree.

I leaned against the tree, pulling her to me until her body was against mine. I've quickly realised there's no better feeling than having her flush up against me.

/"How are you feeling? No bullshit./" I questioned, glancing down at her.

She took a deep breath, shaking her head. /"Lila.../" I muttered.

/"Ok./" She groaned. She rested her forehead on my chest and inhaled deeply. Her emotions were hurtling through me like a roller-coaster.
