Chapter 926
---- LYRA When my mate toldhe lived in a cave, | was already preparing myself for it, but nothing could have
readiedfor how cold and pitiful this place was.
Even Uncle Zareks camp of the dead had more life than this hole.
On the mountainside where the communal cave stood, other ' houses' had also been carved out in a messy way.
It was still dawn, and | didnt look inside the other holes, but with the help of sworn-out stone steps, |
managed to reach my marital cave.
"You dont have more...
furniture?" | asked, glancing at the dark pit full of ashes on the outer platform.
Stepping into the several-meter-wide space, | found a pile of bones in one corner, wooden bowls, a bucket, and
furs tossed haphazardly as abed.
"[m used to living alone.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIts not much, tomorrow..." "Its fine!" | cut him off without giving it much thought.
"I know a lot about decorating.
We'll make it all cozy and homely, just leave it to me!"" "Decorating? Whats that?" "Uh...
it means Ill make the cave look much nicer for both of us," | ---- explained excitedly, already planning the
arrangements while we stayed here.
He said nothing in response.
His habit of just staring atso intensely madefeel like a foolish girl in love.
"We should sleep..." My wolf was already planning all sorts of inappropriate things to pounce on Drakkar, but he
left us wanting.
"You can use the furs, theyre clean.
Loco
will keep watch." "Keep watch? Thats not necessary...
My hand remained extended as | watched his back retreat into the darkness outside.
A little disappointed, | threw myself onto the soft, thick furs, breathing in the intense scent of my mate.
| brought one close to my nose and inhaled deeply, moaning in delight Well, just you andagain, how
exciting," | huffed, kicking off my boots and loosening my dress.
"And now Im actually glad he didnt stay.
Lyra, you didnt even freshen up, you smell awful down there." | froze.
It was true...
| hadnt bathed after trekking through half the jungle Embarrassed, | sniffed myself...
Okay, it wasnt that bad, but | definitely didnt smell like roses.
---- VP wash up the next day, though I should probably start getting used to the local scents.
preety Contrary to what | expected, | slept like a baby.
Iwas exhausted, and wrapping myself in his furs madefeel safe.
A commotion outside the entrance woke me.
| sat up, confused, my eyes adjusting to the stone walls as | reached besidebut Drakkar hadnt spent the
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmnight in bed.
| found him at the entrance, the fire crackling in the hearth, full of burning wood, with a small stone pot boiling
water over it.
Drakkar was handling skind of creature with colorful feathers.
He was plucking it roughly, pulling off chunks of flesh along with the feathers.
"wait, wait," | got up, wrapping myself in a fur to get closer.
The morning cold brushed against my face as the sun barely began to rise over the horizon.
It had been a day since | arrived here..
