Chapter 31

Later that night, Raina was sound asleep in her bedroom when the door was flung open. She blinked rapidly and shielded her eyes from the sudden glare of light coming in from the hallway. She pushed herself up in bed and stared toward the door squinting at the blurry person who interrupted her beauty sleep.

"Mateo?" she asked sleepily, covering a yawn.

His voice was serious, his demeanor foreboding and closed off. What was going on? It must be something awful for him to wake her up this way.

As she climbed out of bed, Mateo strode to her closet, jerked the door open and disappeared inside.

"Hey!" she yelped, wobbling to her feet and taking a couple of steps after him.
