Chapter Twenty-Six

A loud snore woke Cade.

Blinking his eyes sleepily, he tried to get up but quickly noticed the foot laying over his chest. Leaning up on his elbows, he looked down at the owner of the leg.

They had each been given a room but chose to stay in Cade’s last night. After the time spent apart, they didn’t want to leave each other’s sight.

Lia lay with her head on the opposite end of the bed, her thick hair draped over her face, mouth open, snoring loud enough to wake the palace. Cade couldn’t contain his smile.

Lia had walked for almost two weeks through the forest with his little brother to get to him. Then on arrival, she managed to convince Deianira, Queen of The Dome, to let his brother walk free.

She was truly amazing.

A noise from the bathroom drew Cade’s attention from Lia.

Cassian.

He hadn’t managed to talk to his brother much since his arrival and felt like there was so much more to be said.

Removing her leg as carefully as possible, so as not to wake her, Cade rolled off the bed and headed to the bathroom.

As he opened the door, Cassian’s head turned to him from where he’d been standing at the sink. He wore the same plain black shirt and trousers that they were all given when assigned their rooms.

Cade held his fingers to his lips until he closed the door behind himself.

“Are you okay?” Cade started.

“Yeah,” was all Cassian said.

Cade watched his brother. He wasn’t doing anything. Just standing in front of the mirror. He looked pained.

“Thank you,” Cade whispered. “For keeping her safe.”

Cassian snorted.

“It was the other way around.” As soon as the words left his lips, the smile slowly slid off his face. “The word ‘sorry’ doesn’t seem to cover it,” he said quietly.

Cade’s brows lowered in confusion.

“For what?”

Cassian seemed just as confused now. “Are you serious, Cade?” When Cade only cocked his head at him, he carried on. “You’re here because of me. You were minding your business and I dragged you into this shit-”

“You didn’t ask me to do that.” Cade cut him off. “And I’m here because I didn’t mind my business.” He laughed quietly before sobering. “I spoke up. That was my decision, and I’d do it again,” he said earnestly.

“But I didn’t say anything either.” Cassian shook his head. “I should’ve.”

“So we could both get locked up? ‘Cause that would’ve been real smart.”

Lowering his voice, Cade started again. “My point is, you don’t need to ask me to protect you. I would do it anyway. And as you can see, I’m very much alive so you don’t need to be sorry either.”

Cassian’s eyes glistened as he met Cade’s.

A knock at the door had them both turning.

“Once you guys are done kissing and making up, we need to talk!” Lia called through the door.

Cade huffed a laugh and shook his head.
