Chapter 38 : Something Had Changed

Asher's POV "Vika I…" I trailed off. Was I really willing to admit I'd saved her? I didn't know how much she remembered and what we shared. That was too amazing of a memory. If Vika rejected me again—or worse, resented me—my heart couldn't take it. "You promised you'd be honest," she reminded me. I looked away from her. I felt heat rise in my cheeks. Was I seriously blushing? Ugh, that wasn't exactly manly, was it? "I did find you and heal you. I heard about the attack, and I...." I admitted. "You heard? From who?" she asked, her eyes widening. "My sister, Amina, happened to overhear a conversation between Shian and Devi. Apparently, you really hurt Shian," I told her. "Oh, yeah, I kicked her ass," Vika said, lifting her chin. I chuckled. "Looks like our training paid off." "It really did," she agreed. "So, yeah, I found you. I was worried, and I didn't want to risk that you were hurt and alone," I muttered. Vika smiled like a ray of sunshine.
