Yuè laid on his side, curled up beneath the warmth of his blanket to stave off the wintry air that somehow managed to creep through the cracks of the window.
How could he sleep after all that had happened. So much in so little time. Even though he was back in the mansion, he did not feel any safer than he had in Lord Payton's attic. He could not help but think back to his words. He knew that Yuè was human. Dangerous information for someone like him to have and his threat lingered in his mind like a poisonous fog.
