[Bonus chapter]Hungry Ghost

It was strange. Even though she often starved before coming to Agartha, it never felt this intense but this…this was something else. She could trust Reya's words that it was because of the bond completion.

"Don't worry. The kitchen prepared more servings than usual for tonight."

Once Ember's stomach was fully satisfied, the servants cleared the footed tray off the bed.
