Chapter 4: Day

An hour later, KarRa sat on her bed in her room, staring at the ceiling. Freezha slinked in at last, her cheeks blazing, eyes sparkling. “Finally! A happy toes moment!”

Freezha gracefully folded herself onto the floor in front of KarRa, just as Merk had. She took KarRa’s freezing hands in her own, frowning at their chill and chafing them. “Tell me?”

“I chose Rylan.”

Freezha shrieked and launched herself at KarRa.

KarRa batted her away, feeling snappish. “Shhh! It's late.”

Freezha ignored her, spinning and leaping around the room. “Oh! Oh! I'm so glad! I hope you have the most incredible fuck of your life!”

KarRa rolled her eyes. “Freezha will you stop?!”

Freezha hugged her tightly, ignoring KarRa’s stiffness. “You did right. I know it. Once you sleep on it you’ll see,” she whispered in KarRa’s ear. Shrugging at KarRa’s stony face, she left, and KarRa had nothing to do but sit and remember.

Rylan had fallen to his knees, shoulders shaking. “KarRa, KarRa, KarRa,” he had cried. She had stayed frozen at the door.

“I hear and confirm that KarRa has chosen Rylan of the Owl. KarRa, do you agree?”

“Yes.”

Merk had nodded, and left.

Rylan had risen shakily to his feet to take a pace toward her. “KarRa?”

The uncertainty in his voice broke her heart and she finally unclenched her fingers and went to him, folding into his embrace as she always had, as if the hollow of his shoulder was made to cup her head. Her body at ease against his, her heart thundered crazily, and his pounded, too.

He bent his head over her and brushed his face back and forth over her hair. Pulling back, he looked at her with wonder and reached out to grab her hand, holding it tightly between his own, almost desperately.

Looking down at their clasped fingers he choked out, “I was so sure I had lost you. I felt your anger, and fear. KarRa, you have to tell me why you chose me.” He knelt in front of her, as if he would pray to her.

Her eyes drifted over his face—the chiseled jaw, the blade of his nose, the arch of his brows. The tear tracks could still be seen on his cheeks.

“I didn't want to.” Her words made him flinch, but he tightened his grip on her hands.

It was her turn to look at their entwined fingers. “Rylan…” It was so hard to say the words to him. “I'm so afraid you're going to tell me to go away again. To protect me, to “free” me, to give yourself something I don’t want to give… I can't believe that you will want me for long.”

This last came out in the barest whisper, and with a cry he surged up and wrapped her in a tight hold.

“KarRa! Never again. I tell you now: I will hold you. I will never turn from you. I will never want another and will never let you leave.” He pulled back, shaking her shoulders as he looked at her with feverish eyes. “Do you believe me?”

KarRa’s chin trembled.
