Chapter Seventeen

Kiera

I dozed in and out of sleep as Murphy steered the car high up into the Cumbrian Mountains. Sensing that our journey was nearing its end, I wanted to try and get as much rest as possible. Now that Potter and I had made our peace, my whole being felt more at ease with itself. Had I done the right thing by giving myself to Potter again? I didn’t know, and somewhere deep inside of me, I no longer cared. If what the Elders said was true, and I wouldn’t be going back with my friends, then I wanted to love and be loved by the man who made me happy while I still had the chance. Potter said we would stay together. He said that was his choice to make, but I wasn’t so sure about that.

With my head resting against the window, I peered through my half-open eyes and down at the landscape stretched below. The sun was setting in the distance, and the white fields looked trapped between a thin strip of bright gold. Streams snaked their way through narrow gorges way below. The fresh stream water bubbled and twinkled in the fading light. For the first time in ages, I felt an immense sense of calmness wash over me. I closed my eyes and slept again.
