Chapter 33. Banished

Kol’s POV

When I wake up next to Snow the next morning, I kind of expect that she will be awake, staring at me in the way that she normally does, but I let out a sigh when I realize she’s still unconscious. The sunlight enters the room, illuminating the walls and furniture, and even in a deep sleep, Snow is still the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen.

Her breathing is steadier than it was last night, and I smile at her as she sleeps peacefully. She’ll be up soon. I can feel it. She won’t stay like this for much longer. She’s strong, and she’s a fighter.

“Good morning, love,” I say, placing a kiss on her forehead, and though she can’t kiss me back, I feel tingles on my skin. I order the guards to call in some maids to clean and dress her, and as they do, I look out the window as I think of all the possible punishments that I would like to give Katherine.
