Sometimes when we find out a secret that has been kept from us for so long, it's not the secrecy that kills us, but what is actually unveiled.

Chapter Eighteen
| Everlyn's POV |
"Hey! Where'd your smile go?" I look over to see Xaden's smile had dropped. Gods, he's so grumpy. "Okay Loverboy, lead the way."
"Don't call me that." He snaps, looking over at me. See I know he doesn't like me giving him nicknames in public, but he secretly loved it. Trust me.
"Okay," I say softly, walking alongside him. "Come on, if she's anywhere it's probably her tree." He sways his head in the direction we're walking.
"You couldn't tell me she was a tree lover sooner? I fucking love trees, you asshat." What the actual hell. Who shoved a stick up his ass, and told him to keep things from me? "Also, you never told me what her name is? Jeez Xaden, ever heard of human interaction? Wait! Do you even know what her name is?" I can hear my voice raising octaves as my mind wanders, but I ignore it.
"Evie, I love you, but not so loud okay?" He reprimands in a hushed voice. "Also, her name is Wrenley. Also, for the record, I have had plenty of human interaction. Maybe a little too much." I roll my eyes at that, not even trying to hide it from him. "Shut the hell up." He pushes my shoulder, causing me to stumble to the side, but he quickly grabs my elbow, stabilizing me. "Sorry." He mutters.
