Chapter 133. Beautiful Faces

Kade’s POV

“Alpha Kade,” Tarisa said quietly. She placed a hand on my shoulder. “Let’s talk outside. Let her rest,” she said, urging me to let Layla go.

I released my arms and softly put her head back down on the pillow. Walking away was the hardest thing I’ve done, but Tarisa and I stood just outside the room.

“You need to eat and rest. Let’s join the others in the dining room,” she said.

“No, I’m not leaving her. Ever,” I said and held onto the handle.

“She is all right now, but it is better she be alone these first moments. She has, after all, just been resurrected.”

Resurrected. It was true. Layla was dead. The pain was still there, but I swore I would never let that happen again. She was alive now, and we were going to keep it that way.

I walked with Tarisa down to the dining hall where everyone was eating, or at least trying to eat.

They looked at us walking in and must’ve seen the smile on my face or the worry in my eyes.
