Chapter 24

• ‘You two, take care of each other.’
• Those were the parting words from Valens’ mother who wished us all the happiness in the world as we left. Those words had me thinking of my relationship with Valens.
• After Jackson, I wanted to be on my own. I didn’t want to become vulnerable and stand the risk of being tossed away with a shattered heart. I’d been hurt and moving forward I wanted to live without worrying about what my mate was doing in my absence. I was guarding my broken heart and had no idea how to proceed with another relationship especially so soon. Valens’ mother, with all her heart, wished for us to be happy together and I wondered if it would ever happen.
