Chapter 61

I had no choice but to accept the help of the most irritating man ever, and we were walking through the forest together. He stomped heavily through the trees, evidently knowing where he was going. Which I could not lie, was definitely a good thing, because without Akira here with me, I had no clue where I was going! Of all the times for her to go off in a huff, now was definitely not an ideal time... “Were you on patrol?” I asked. I only spoke because I was hating the awkward silence between us, but at the same time I so desperately not wanting to talk to him either. “Will you get in trouble for leaving?” “Yes I was, but nah I shouldn’t think so. Found some loner wandering in the forest, so I am bringing her back to pack for interrogation. Don't think they can argue with me on that one.” He winked at me. “Interrogation?” I rolled my eyes. “Hmm, well, your name could be a start?” he grinned. “Oh.” I felt my cheeks heating at his joke, he had clearly been teasing me, and that had worked.
