Chapter 177 Easy they go

The moment he stirred, Doris was wide awake. She didn’t want to miss his goodbye, she didn’t want to risk a moment that might haunt her forever. All night she had woken at the smallest movements in fear he would try to leave without kissing her one last time. She wouldn’t allow that.

Doris got up silently when William did. He dressed himself in the dark and kept his back to her as she did the same. It was too early for any sense of goodbye, the sun hadn’t even started to poke out of the sky yet and it felt like only minutes had passed since they shared a heated moment.

When he finally turned to look at her, Doris had to hold in every emotion she had before they came spilling out of her. William crossed the room to meet her halfway. She couldn’t help herself, she reached up to run her fingers through his dark messy hair. A dark sinking feeling pushed down on her chest. “Perhaps I should go with you—“

“I don’t know, something inside me feels wrong. It feels like something bad is about to happen.” Doris wrapped her arms around her stomach. “I don’t know why. it just feels like a

sinking feeling in my chest down to my stomach.”

“You’re worried about what is to come of this war. That feeling is dread of the inevitable, it doesn’t mean it will come true.” William brushed her hair behind her ear. “You’re safer here.”

“I’d be safer with you.” Doris frowned. “Our wolves should stay together, we’re stronger this

way.”
