Day 3
I woke covered in sweat, a scream of terror frozen in my throat as
strong hands gripped my shoulders and shook me.
“Wake up, Nova.” Cian struggled to hold onto me as I flailed around,
the bedsheets wrapped around me like a vice. “Calm down, you’re safe.” He
dragged me into his lap and held me tight against him. “You’re safe, Nova,”
he whispered as I bunched his shirt in my hands and held on for dear life.
My heart slammed against my chest. Boom, boom, boom.
I was safe. Not being dragged away by masked men who wanted to
hurt me. Not being thrown into a dark van to be taken to God knew where.
I was here with Cian.
Safe.
But was I really?
*****
My eyes fluttered open as the sun peeked through blinds and blasted
me in the face. My head was on fire and I instinctively reached up to feel the
gash on my forehead. The smell of food drifted up my nose, a tray of
breakfast on the nightstand next to me. My stomach made an obnoxious
growling sound, my mouth filling with saliva. When was the last time I’d
eaten something? I peeked under the covers, relieved that I at least had a robe
on this time.
My body tensed as I became aware of another person lying in bed
next to me. I held my breath and turned my head slightly. Cian lay on his
back, fully clothed, his arm draped over his face, covering his eyes.
I squeezed my eyes shut, wishing the pain would go away. Everything
was foggy. It was hard to know what had been real and what had been a
dream. More like a nightmare. I knew Cian had been in bed last night. He had
held me tight against his chest as I’d fought to get away from the man trying
to put a hood over my head. I had fought with all my might, yet nothing had
stopped him in my nightmare. Except Cian’s voice. Calm. Soothing me. I
knew that it had been real. But that didn’t change the fact that he had taken
me from my wedding. He said he’d saved me. Had he? Or was I being held
here against my will?
I glanced over as his chest rose with each breath he took, his lips
quirked up at the side. He looked peaceful, like he didn’t have a care in the
world, while I lay here in fear, anger bubbling in my chest.
Time to change that.
I reached over to the tray of food, keeping my eyes on him as my
fingers searched around the tray. When I found what I was looking for, I
gripped the metal handle tight and slowly sat up. He still hadn’t moved, the
same steady rise and fall of his chest letting me know he was most likely
asleep. I slid the blanket off me and scooted to the edge of the bed.
