Chapter 108
With Madeline and the others gone, Anastasia and Cassius returned to the room. He put an arm around her waist, pulling her closer.
"How was your talk with the witch?" he asked.
"The discussion with her was okay."
"Just okay?" Cassius raised a brow. "Should I be worried about her?"
"Her name is Madeline, an old friend from my past life. She offered to help me fight Nerina."
He kissed her forehead. "It's late. You should sleep now."
"What about you?"
"I will be with you in bed shortly."
Anastasia wanted to argue, but her eyes were heavy with sleep. Dragging herself to the bed, she closed her eyes to sleep.
...
Three days later...
Anastasia sat on a stool in front of the fireplace, rubbing her palms to catch some heat. Hearing the sound of the door creak open, she raised her head to see Cassius walking toward her, and he leaned in to kiss her.
