Eventually, we were all yawning too widely to stay out in the forest, so we made our way back to the castle. Things felt different between us, after our girlâs night.
Lighter, different.
Happier, different.
And honestly? I loved that.
It made me feel more confident, despite the uncertainty where Odin was concerned.
All of the kings except Storm were waiting in the same place weâd left them when we returned. Harper murmured a goodnight before she slipped away to the room where Storm mustâve taken Dove.
Tariq scooped Ivy up off her feet and threw her over his shoulder without so much as a greeting, and she laughed wildly as he hauled her to their room. I heard a sound that was unmistakably a smack to her ass, and she laughed louder.
Lucky bitch.
Odin was still sprawled out against one of the walls, in nearly the exact same position I had left him in. His palms were still on the ground, and I assumed he was still working on the city.
I glanced over at Ayla, and found her signing to Flood. She was slow, and had to pause to think frequently, but she knew a hell of a lot more words than she had the last time Iâd seen her.
He signed back, and she smiled.
When he smiled back, dipping his head in a nod, she gave him a tiny wave and strode away, calling out a soft âGoodnight,â to me.
Flood watched her go, his expression looking almost⦠wistful as she disappeared.
No way in hell did that man want to be just friends. But Ayla had seemed so sure.
Their time would come, I assumed.
My eyes slid back to Odin.
He could feel the ground, so he would know that I was there. It wasnât like he couldnât hear me, or sense me. And heâd never had a problem separating me from the other women when we were in the forest; his magic was strong enough that it showed him plenty.
And yet he had said nothing when we arrived.
No greeting. No reaching for my hand. No joke, or question about how the night had gone.
My face heated.
I lost control of my magic, and my fists caught fire.
Dammit.
Letting out a harsh breath of air, I shook them around, trying to force the fire to retreat.
No such luck.
I held them out at my sides, helplessly trying to keep the flames away from my dress. Although, something told me Odin wouldnât care about me being naked in front of Flood right now. Not when he hadnât even acknowledged me. Maybe he was lost in the city, focused on it, but that didnât really seem like an excuse.
Flood signed something, and I jerked my attention back to him. He signed it again, and I recognized the word from the lessons weâd all been getting.
It was one wordâokay.
His knitted forehead told me it wasnât a statement, but a question.
âIâm okay,â I said, nodding and clumsily forming the same word with my own hand.
I was okay.
I was okay.
Maybe if I said it enough times, Iâd believe it.
