Chapter Sixteen

CILLIAN

Changing my attitude toward Dawsyn had been more insightful than I realized it would be. My forwardness showed me exactly what I wanted to know.

I affected Dawsyn. A lot more than she wanted to admit, but also couldn’t deny.

I wouldn’t take advantage of the pull from the bond. Forcing her to accept me was the last thing I wanted, even if the fates thought we were meant for each other. But that didn’t mean I was walking away like I’d considered before.

For the time being, I would keep her as close as she’d allow and show her that her life didn’t have to end just because we were mates.

Of course, I didn’t know how that was going to work when the world didn’t know I existed in my true form. I couldn’t remain hidden forever if I stayed here, but that was a problem to sort out later.

For now, having Dawsyn close in any capacity was good enough.

I also needed to chat with River. It didn’t seem as if he’d told her he knew about the bond. I assumed if he had said something to her that she would have yelled at me. I’d been prepared for that, but when she’d offered to help me, I wasn’t going to ruin the opportunity to spend more time with her.

Well, at least to be in the same room with her.

After our little conversation, she’d stayed as far from me as possible, only coming to me when she found something that might interest me. Even then, she’d drop the book on the nearest table and go back to her corner.

Three hours later, she came back to me empty handed. “I can’t focus on the words when I’m this hungry. I’ll be back later.”

I raised a brow. “You’re not going to invite me to lunch?”

“You’re a big boy,” she quipped. “If you’re hungry, I assume you know where the dining hall is.”

She whirled around on one foot and headed toward the stairs. I watched the sway of her hips, the swish of her caramel hair, and even the length of her stride as she increased the distance between us.

I gave her a head start, letting her think that I wasn’t going to follow. While I waited to leave, I gathered the books we’d found and set them on a shelf so that they hopefully wouldn’t be messed with while we were gone.

Once that was done, I headed out and toward the common area, assuming that she was going to eat at the dining hall since she’d mentioned it. Shit. She could have gone back to her dorm. People kept food in their small fridges all the time.

Deciding not to waste time worrying, I kept in the direction I was already headed. With quick steps, I passed by other students, not looking at more than the ground as I went. I didn’t have time for potential conversations.

When I got to the doors of the dining hall, I shoved the left one open and my gaze raised, scanning the food line.
