CHAPTER THIRTY-TWO

My stomach was a little jittery as I made my way out into the Wastes later that day, after sleeping for a few hours and doing a shift on the wall. I’d been on the north side for it, so I hadn’t been able to watch Seraph from above, but when I’d emerged from the hatch I’d peered down and seen Gloam and Aury out there, sitting side by side a short distance from the cage.

As I made my way along the base of the wall, I wondered if Aury—or Wyn—had mentioned to Gloam the words I’d recited to them. What Seraph had said. If they had, Gloam would no doubt have something to say about it.

But when I rounded the corner and the two beasties looked up, he just gave me a kind smile and gestured me over. As I walked toward them, I looked over at Seraph. He was on his knees gripping the bars of the cage, and when our gazes met he let out his little chuff. I smiled, hoping he’d be able to see it in my eyes.

I came to a stop a few feet away from the two monsters, because I didn’t want to get too close and risk Seraph getting angry and protective again.

“He has been a little less responsive today,” Gloam told me, then chuckled. “Honestly, he seems to be in a bit of a bad mood. Not mindless with pain—just grumpy.”

He didn’t look grumpy anymore, his eyes lively as they danced over my frame. His long fingers tightened around the bars, making my gut clench with arousal as my gaze fixed on them.

When I forced myself to look away and back at the beasties, Aury shot me a tiny smile. I cleared my throat and unzipped my coat to pull out the hemp bag.

“Brought you some things.” I addressed Seraph directly, because we couldn’t keep talking about him like he wasn’t here. He understood English. He’d proven that the night before.

He chuffed again, sitting up straighter on his knees as his eyes blinked and focused on the bag. He rumbled out a few words I didn’t understand, but I caught my name at the end in the stilted way he said it—Lie-lack.

Gloam let out an incredulous chuckle. “He said, Thank you, Lilac.”

My mouth curved into a wry smile under my mask, and I took a single step forward before stopping. I knew Gloam would make me use the pole, but… I wanted to touch him again. I wanted to be close to him. Surely he needed social interaction and contact at least occasionally. I knew what it was like to be so isolated—although I did it out of choice—that you stopped feeling like a person when you hadn’t been touched by anyone for a while. I’d gone from constant skin-on-skin contact back in the city—more than I preferred—to absolutely none once I’d come out here. It was probably the only reason I’d said yes to Rusty when she approached me with her offer of a casual thing.
