Chapter 62

62 After The Attack

Mara

Lucian was still tense about the attack, and honestly, so was I. I couldn’t believe we survived. The goddess must be preserving us for a reason, because those men had every opportunity to end us. They didn’t. That alone felt like a miracle.

Lucian’s anger was justified. I knew using a cab was his way of staying unpredictable-his quiet attempt to keep us safe. Still, the weight of what could’ve happened lingered.

When Darian came to see me, I was cautious. Not because I feared him, but because I knew Lucian didn’t like it when I got

too close to his brother. Even though he had let him in, I knew boundaries mattered. And Darian… he made it hard to keep

those lines clear.
