CHRISTINE's POV

When I woke up and felt the tenderness between my legs, the reality of what I did dawned on me. I face-palmed as the beating of my heart became fast. What have you done, Tin?!

When I entered in this room last night, I was drunk and forgot about what was right and wrong. All I wanted to do was to escape the reality that I was beginning to fall under Jace's spell. I was afraid that I would lose my control and give in to him and eventually get hurt after he's done with me.

I wanted to runaway.

Because of that fear, I decided to gamble to my admiration towards Zardius. I thought, my heart was safe if I would give myself to him.

But now that everything has already been done and regained my rational thinking the morning after, I could feel the regret that was crawling throughout my body. I bit my lower lip when I felt an arm wrap around my waist. I couldn't see his face because I was facing the other side of the room.

For some reason, Zardius' warmth against my naked back felt so good and calming. I didn't expect that. But then, thinking that I slept with him for the purpose of using him to runaway from my growing feelings towards Jace didn't sit well in me.

Now that the reality bit me on the back, I couldn't control the tears that fell from my eyes because of regret.

Now, it became clear to me what my real feelings were towards Zardius. I thought, there was a slight chance for me to feel anything towards him after I give myself to him but I was wrong. All it left me was a cold and empty feeling inside my heart.

Suddenly, the face of Jace appeared od my mind. I wanted to laugh at myself. Now, I finally realized that I was running away of my feelings towards Jace that's why I went to Zardius. Now, no matter how many times I regret what I've done, I couldn't take back what already happened. I must face the consequences of my actions.

My body went still when I heard Zardius groan as he buried his face on the crook of my neck. It looked like he was dreaming because his breathing became steady again afterward.

"I need to get out of here before he wakes up!" I uttered to myself I panic and then carefully remove his arm from my waist. I was holding my breath the entire time because I was afraid that he might wake up. I then carefully distanced myself from him.

I sighed in relief when I managed get away from him for a little bit. I then slowly sat up and was about to get off the bed when I couldn't help but to throw him a glance.

My eyes widened and I felt like the beating of my heart stopped for a moment when I finally saw his face. It wasn't Zardius!

I covered my mouth with my hand in shock. For some reason, I felt relieved seeing that the man beside me was actually not Zardius! It was Jace!

But then, that relief suddenly replaced by anger. How come he was the one who was in this room?! Did I make a mistake?!

I gritted my teeth and couldn't take it anymore. Instead of leaving, I decided to wake him up. I wrapped the sheets around my nakedness and avoided looking at his naked form on the bed.
