#Chapter18
Aleera POV
I was sitting huddled under the blankets trying to get warm. The room was freezing since someone had opened a window, and the bloody thing was jammed open. I had asked Tobias if he could shut it. He even watched me struggle with the damn thing as I tried to pull it closed, giving up when it hurt too much to stand. So I went and climbed into bed, wrapping the blankets around me like a cocoon.
He said not one word, placed my food in the room, and left. I was starving, and I was pretty sure I had inhaled my food without tasting it. I was that hungry from barely eating all day and starting to feel shaky.
