My nerves had grown throughout the day.
Pollux and I were on lockdown in the house and everyone had their mind links blocked from us, so I had no idea what was going on. We were not allowed to leave, nor was anyone allowed in. There was no commotion nearby as most of the warriors were out on the so-called breach. Four guards were surrounding the house, which I felt was rather silly, but Phoenix had insisted.
We sat at the breakfast bar, attempting to eat lunch. I found myself picking at it, dragging the pasta around the bowl with mixed emotions. I had hoped the day after the fights would be spent as me and Phoenix together before my heat came tomorrow. Instead, he was who knows where attending to a border breach for the past four hours.
Pollux sighed and pushed his plate to the side. He had finished his meal and gave me a concerned look. I rolled my eyes at him, shoving a forkful in my mouth to make him back off.
"He'll be okay, Nova." He sighed.
