Seeing the confidence Safira exude gave Malindra the assurance she needed. For the first time since she entered the room, she eased up a little. After catching up with Safira a little more, she took her leave for the night.
For her safety, Safira insisted that they sent extra guards to escort her back despite her protests. After seeing her safely off, Safira folded her arms. She was growing tense, worried about what to expect tomorrow.
Damien was off to give Seth his new assignment, leaving Safira alone with her thoughts as she returned to their shared bedroom for the night. Her mind was swirling. She could not think clearly or sleep.
She tossed and turned as she waited for Damien to return.
Staring at the ceiling above her, she let out a sigh in defeat. It was moments like this when she missed her wolf.
"Nymeria, what would you do?" She whispered to herself as she closed her eyes, hoping the fatigue will allow the sleep to take her.
