Chapter 143
Tristan
I was not sure what woke me late at night. The howls of Lycans perhaps? Or the wind?
But now that I was awake, going back to sleep was hard for me. I need to prepare myself ahead of later today. It would be a short trip.
Turning to my side, I saw Aaliyah fast asleep on the bed. Her eyes were squeezed shut, and she was tucked inside the blanket. I reached out to her and brushed the strands of hair from her face.
She rubbed her temples before going back to sleep. I need to make breakfast for the three of us. Careful not to wake her, I slipped out of the bed, wearing the pair of slippers.
I grabbed the bottle of whiskey at the table and poured myself a glass. As I took a sip from the drink, I looked through the window. The sky was slowly turning bright, and very soon the sun would be up.
