Dramatic Year
The next morning, Ashlyn awoke with a smile on her face. Her eyes no longer glinted with the usual coldness.
After freshening up, she donned a yellow skirt and joined Kiba for a lavish breakfast. The entire "family" was present, but the man she worried about the most was missing.
Taking a glass of orange juice, she looked at Kiba and asked, "Where is Zed?"
Agatha splashed the mouthful of coffee she was drinking.
Eva smirked, while the eyes of the twins sparkled with excitement.
As for Kiba... he froze with toast jammed in his throat.
"Zed?" Kiba repeated while forcefully swallowing the toast.
Ashlyn nodded.
She loved Kiba but cared more for Zed. She was really protective of him.
Because unlike Kiba, Zed was innocent, honest, and a bit gullible. He could be deceived, and with his powers far lesser than Kiba, he was at risk.
Weeks ago, Kiba had reassured Zed was safe, but not seeing him left her worried.
