Chapter 41. You’re Safe

Adira’s POV

We had been on the road for quite some time and only stopped at a gas station.

“Do you want something to eat?” he asked and I shook my head, turning away from him. Azriel pumped gas into the car and went to the store. He came out minutes later with bags. He stayed outside for a while before coming into the car and started driving the car again. We were both quiet, and at some point, I closed my eyes and sleep took over me.

I woke up to someone shaking me, I stared at Azriel and looked in front of me. We were in front of a nice cottage. I looked behind me when I heard a board of water and indeed, we were surrounded by a lake.

“Where are we?”

“At the marsh, I like to come here sometimes and it’s far from civilization,” he said, getting out of his truck. I did the same.

“Why did you bring me here?”

“You didn’t want to see—”

“Don’t fucking say his name,” I interrupted sharply. I didn’t want to think of him right now.
