Over the past two days, Rowan worked late.
He spent every waking moment in the palace, going over security details and making sure that the pack was as safe as possible.
I returned to the office as well, trying to bring a semblance of normalcy back into my life but I was failing… terribly. Drinking blood every morning did not get any easier, and the fact that Aria was avoiding me only made things worse.
Everyone noticed how she would avoid speaking directly to me in meetings and turned away whenever I was walking towards her. No one asked, but I could tell they were all fishing for information.
"How long do you think this is going to last?" Eric asked as she turned away to take the stairs after seeing us approach the elevator.
I shrugged. "I don't know honestly, but I'm fucking over it. We have too many problems to worry about this."
"Have you tried talking to her?"
