Valerie woke up as the sun rays streamed through the windows of her room. The chirping of the birds could be heard from outside. The air moved in blossoming brilliant arcs within the sun rays of a new day.
It was a peaceful early morning. Contrary to the nightmares Valerie had, the whole room seemed to be cuddled up in soft glistening warmth.
Back then, when she had those nightmares, she would be scared to sleep again. But there were times that she just got through it with a cup of milk and honey to make her fall back asleep.
This time, there was someone who comforted her—someone whom she could rely on.
Glancing down, she realized that Kai was next to her. He was still holding her hand, sleeping peacefully like a child. Her gaze fell on his face. His sharp and angular jawline and high cheekbones made Valerie fall into a daze. He looked like the most beautiful male beastman alive.
Scratch that. He could even be the most handsome man Valerie had ever seen.
