•ADALYN POV•
"What the hell are you doing here?" I tried to look around him who could it be but his huge shoulders blocked my view.
As of sensing I was hovering behind him Lennox turned his body a bit sideways to give little way to look at whoever it was coming to his home late at night.
A small figure covered in twigs and mud appeared in front of me.
"Where have you been Argus?" Surprisingly I just realised that he has been gone for a while and I haven't noticed it.
"Hey Luna. I heard you've injured. How are you now?" Ignoring the burning gaze of Lennox, Argus waved at me sweetly. The picture of him waving with twigs in his hair and face smeared in mud with clothes that were definitely unwashed for a month was absolutely hilarious.
"Come to the point." Lennox apparently had enough as he lightly pulled his collar and growled at him.
"Oh. I found something interesting. And it might also be an emergency." He babbled as if just remembering what he has to say.
"What is it?"
Argus gaze flickered to me for a second before Lennox rigid back hunched and he let him in.
"I'll be back in a while." Giving me a quick kiss on the head he dragged Argus inside his study leaving me puzzled behind.
I decided to continue making salad and setting the dinner table till they finish their discussion.

I felt myself being lifted as arms wrapped around me tightly. Soon I felt I was being moved before my body touched a soft bed where I was laid gently.
After a few more second a big arm wrapped around my waist and heat surrounded me from all around.
"Is your work done?" I felt him stiffening up as he realised I was probably awake.
"Yes " he replied while tightening his arms more around me and burying his face into my neck.
"What time is it?" I tried to look around but failed as he was strictly restricting my move.
"Late enough for us to sleep." He mumbled. He was being extra clingy today with the way he was wrapping his both arms around me and his long legs bent over mine.
I felt something was wrong from his tone. Even though he wasn't a cheerful guy, he wasn't gloomy either.
"What's wrong?" Lifting my hand up I caressed his hair that was currently tickling my neck.
I waited for his reply but it didn't came. Pulling his hair lightly I tried to lift his head up but it was like he didn't want to.
When I just gave up trying to pursue him to talk I heard his voice.
"We have to make a trip." He whispered . His voice small as he didn't even want to think about it let alone talk.
"When will you be leaving?" Even though I know he is sad because he didn't want to go I can't help but feel sadder as he was leaving again.
"We as in you and me." I wasn't sure I heard it correctly.
"Me? Why would I be going?" I was confused at this point why I'm needed in this trip which clearly I have no clue of.
He sighed but didn't say anything making me more curious.
"Sleep Adalyn. Its late." His tone was tinged with finality so I knew he won't be saying anything else.

"Are you ready?" Lennox shouted down the stairs for the hundredth time. At this point he was very impatient. But I can't do it more faster even if I wanted to.
I was squeezing my luggage close when it felt it being tugged out of my grip that was desperately trying to close it.
With a single tug Lennox zipped up the bag and hauled it up his shoulders before tightly clasping my palm and moving out of the cabin with fluid movements.
"Why are we in such a hurry? And where are we even going?" He still kept me in dark about where we are going so I was feeling very vexed about it. Even though I do trust him but going somewhere alone to a place I don't even know is too much for me but I decided to keep it in since he has been acting all anxious about it more than me.
"I'll tell you on the way." He quickly grabbed a brown packet from the foyer table and passed it to me.
Sandwiches.
He probably made them while I was still packing. We made our way towards his jeep that was on standby just outside the cabin.
He pulled opened the passenger door for me before loading all the luggage and getting it.
"Are you ready?" Gazing deeply in my eyes he said after taking a deep breathe.
That was a good question.
