Chapter 113
Alessiaâs POV
Two weeks have passed and still no sign of Jude.
Iâve seen how affected Caden is by this development. He might try to hide it but I know that itâs driving him insane when each day passes without him getting closer to finding Jude.
No one knows where the traitor is hiding and I have to give it to him. If I didnât absolutely hate him and want him to be found, I would have found his disappearance from the face of the earth very amusing and entertaining.
Sighing, I move closer to Caden, seeking his warmth and comfort. Even in his sleep, Caden tightens his hold on me and pulls me closer.
I smile as I rest my head on his chest and try to beckon sleep to me. Soon, Iâm counting sheep and by the time Iâve gotten to a hundred sheep without feeling drowsy, I realize how futile it is. Does that stuff actually work for anyone?
I groan, closing my eyes and trying to let Cadenâs even breathing lull me to sleep. My eyes fly open when his breathing changes.
âWhy arenât you asleep?â Comes his sleep-induced husky voice and my traitorous heart ski p s a beat.
