#Chapter60
The next morning, I woke up to somebody nudging me. With a groan, I rolled to find Lycus stiff as a board next to me and looking at the ceiling. Fingers jabbing in my ribs had me turning to look at Kalen, who was also perfectly still. I yawned and rubbed my eyes, only for him to nudge me again.
/"What?/" I groaned, rolling on my side. Lycus whimpered behind me, and Kalen lifted his hand, jabbing it in Lycus’s direction. I peered over my shoulder to see Ryze leaning down off the headboard. Ryze’s head turned from side to side as he scrutinized Lycus’s face. His long snake-like tongue slivered out of his beak and up the side of Lycus’s face, who paled considerably as it ran across the shadow of stubble on his cheek.
I giggled at how terrified he looked. He didn’t even blink like he was too scared to. The corner of his lip opened.
