CHAPTER 35 Disguise

  Wren's POV

  He smiled. "What's wrong? My mate, why did you take so long to come?"

  My expression seemed to stiffen for a moment, but I quickly adjusted it. "Nothing; I'm going to sleep."

  "Do you mind if I come in?"

  "Yes, I do."

  "Because it appears that we are having an affair?"

  I looked at him in silence and pursed my lips. "No, because my family is here."

  "Even if it's your mate?"

  "No, and besides..."

  I immediately cut off the rest of my words and swallowed back the phrase "a proper mate would use the door and not crawl in through people's windows."

  "Hmm?"

  "Nothing; I really need to sleep."

  He laughed again, but this time his smile seemed a bit different from before. However, before I had a chance to look closer, the feeling of something being off disappeared.

  "Okay, I won't come in."

  I hummed from my throat, "Mm."

  "You should go to sleep soon. I'll leave after you fall asleep."
