"You're awake now?" that cold voice, Keito would know that voice anywhere. That was the voice that had accompanied him in the worst and best moments of his previous life and made his heart skip a beat.
He waited for his heart to react to that voice but nothing happened.
Maybe he was too tired right now to react or maybe it was his disbelief at hearing that voice once again that made his reaction different this time.
'Or maybe you're just in denial about your feelings' Keito mentally shut down his connection with his wolf for a while, wanting to enjoy this dream for a little longer. The wolf would only protest all his choices and nag at him.
The king finally opened his eyes and locked eyes with the owner of that crimson gaze and he froze because it was Jess - his Jess with her royal hairdo done just right and her gaze still as sharp as he remembered it being.
