Chapter 306: Never The Same

Chapter 306: Never The Same

As the dream started to fade away, Rosalind realized that she was now inside her room, the nightmare was gone.

She woke up in a cold sweat, her heart still pounding against her chest. The memory of the voice lingered inside her head, reminding her of its words over and over and over again.

She got up and realized that Lucas was sleeping not far away from her. He was sitting on the chair by the windows, facing her. He looked exhausted.

Her movements seemed to awaken him as he stirred awake and rushed to her side.

Without saying another word, he touched her forehead.

"Are you alright?" he asked.

A rush of emotion filled her chest as she stared at him. The warmth of his touch on her forehead reminded her that she was now back, she was already out of that dungeon. She swallowed as she gazed into his perfect blue eyes. The source of this content nov(el)bi((n))

For some reason, a sudden longing filled her heart. No. It was not a simple longing. It was hunger. A deep hunger for his touch.

"Rosalind?" he frowned, his black hair falling across his forehead as he moved a little closer too close.

"What did you say?" she asked, her voice hoarse.

"Are you alright?"

She blinked as she wondered what it would be like to run her fingers through his hair. "I'm better," she said. Then her eyes landed on his lips. Her hunger intensified.

This was unprovoked.

What was happening to her?

Lucas met her eyes, and for a moment, she thought she could sense the same hunger and desire reflected in those blue orbs. Although, it vanished as quickly as it came.

"You stayed here the whole night?" she asked as she tried to calm her raging heart.

The other part of her wanted to let go. This was the present. This was different from the past that she hated.

The kiss deepened as their tongues intertwined. This needed to stop, she thought as she felt a wave of desire wash over her. This was not logical. It was getting dangerous.

She did not know what happened to her. The sudden greed, the sudden attraction, and hunger that she felt toward him could not be explained by anything. However, at that moment, nothing else mattered but the man who was holding her as if she was something precious, as if she mattered to him.

For a moment, she wanted to stay like this forever, to stay in his arms and enjoy his lips, but all good things would eventually end. She did not know who pulled away first. All she could remember was gasping for breath.

Right then and there, she knew she knew that nothing would ever be the same again.

Atior paced in front of the fireplace, her face devoid of any expression.

"Will you stop that? You are bothering me!" Elias's words interrupted her stupor.

"You really know nothing," Atior said as she moved away from the fireplace and went straight outside of the house. Then she stared at the tower.

While the others, like Elias, could not see it, she could. She could feel everything that had happened since last night.

She could sense the large darkness that covered the tower. It wrapped around it like a shield.

At first, Atior thought this was intentional, perhaps Rosalind wanted to protect herself as she slept. However, she soon realized that this darkness was different from what Rosalind usually had. This was stronger, more potent. It was as if it did not belong to the Goddess in the first place.

If it was not from the Goddess then... who else was capable of doing it?
