“Of course, I understand.” I scoff, surprising

Royce!

Fuck! Dad! Mama!

Bastet! Where are you?

Dante… please…

‘Avoid him…’ Bastet’s words from earlier

“Remember what you need to do,” Aleric whispers, caressing my cheek before he

slides his arm around my waist and, to my horror, I place my hand on his chest.
