Hearts in Darkness Collection by Laura Kaye

Chapter Sixteen

Caden couldn’t do anything but sleep. Even though nightmares tormented him. Even though his muscles ached from lack of use. Even though life passed him by.

But then his thoughts and his fears and his failures became too painful to endure.

So he went back to bed.
