Why didn't you tell us about this sooner, Asher?

"Ungh..." Asher opened his eyes with a groan as he woke up from his slumber. It took him a few seconds to adjust his vision to the bright sunlight streaming through the open side of the deck and illuminating his surroundings.

He blinked several times and rubbed his temples before glancing around the room, noticing the familiar ceiling and walls made of wooden planks, realizing he was still aboard his ship sailing in the lake.

He frowned as he felt a light ache throbbing in his skull. 'What the hell happened yesterday?'

He wondered before remembering the events of the previous night and how he lost control over his emotions while he was loving Scarlet. It felt as if he became a different person during that period, acting more like a primal beast rather than a rational person.

"Damn..." Another sharp pang of pain shot through his mind, making him grit his teeth and clench his fists in frustration as his headache worsened.
