Chapter 37: Lorcan and Astrea (Eight)

"What?" she asked trying hard to comprehend his words. 

Lorcan sighed. His words sounded bizarre even to himself so no wonder she was reacting like this. 

"You know about my constant headaches right?" He asked and she nodded. 

Rea remembered him complaining about his constant headaches that even the imperial doctor failed to cure. 

Lorcan rested his head on her shoulder and her hand automatically landed on his head. She gently ran her fingers through his golden locks while he continued his words, "I always felt that something was wrong with me. There was something inside me that urged me to kill"

Her hands halted and Lorcan's heart raced with anxiety. It was too damn difficult! Opening up about his sick mind was not easy. It became even more difficult in front of the woman he loves.
