#Chapter8
Aleera POV
My head throbbed, and the back of my eyes ached but not nearly as much as my jaw did. I groaned, forcing my eyes open when I realized I wasn’t on the hard concrete floor of the dungeon. No, I felt warmer and more comfortable. I blinked, trying to clear the blurriness of my vision to find a man sitting next to me. I was in a bedroom… on a bed.
The man stared like he was looking through me as I jerked upright and pulled away from him. He had blond hair that looked like he had just run his fingers through it only moments before. His blue eyes were the lightest shade I had ever seen, so pale they were almost white. If it weren’t for my enhanced eyesight, I would have assumed they were until he blinked. The color returned to them. I wondered where his mind had gone as the color returned, and his eyes were now a startling cerulean blue.
