CHAPTER 27

EDEN POV

The moment we were out of the Cottage, Scott had strode towards his warriors.

I tried to train my aching hands which had been freed finally.

I watched as he yelled and instructed his warriors to stay alert while we headed back, he seemed to be acting way differently.

I couldn't help but feel a sense of unease. Scott's sudden change in demeanor had caught me off guard.

He was usually calm and composed, but now he appeared tense and agitated. It was as if something had shifted within him, and I couldn't shake the feeling that there was more to his behavior than met the eye.

Leon, always perceptive and intuitive, sensed my curiosity and concern. He placed a reassuring hand on my shoulder and gave me a subtle shake of his head.

I understood his message: now was not the time to question Scott or bring up my observations. There was something going on, something that Leon seemed to be aware of, and he believed it was best for me to remain silent for the moment.
