ROYCE.
I don’t know what to think or make out of it.
There’s no sign that she’s in distress… aside from the severe pain I had felt earlier for a few moments. Other than that, she’s herself… she’s calm… she’s…
No.
I don’t believe that. I don’t know how, but there’s something really damn wrong.
The moment she rejected me, the pain that I felt in my heart was far more excruciating than the pain from the bond breaking.
She can’t leave me. I don’t believe she
would. Willingly.
I won’t believe it.
He’s fucking done something to make her say that. 4
Maybe it’s blackmail, maybe it’s something
else, but if he’s fucking dead, he won’t be able to do anything… or so I thought until she jumped in front of him…
My head is now spinning as I stand there helplessly as he shields them with fire as she
marks him.
She fucking marked him.
I touch my neck, wishing this is nothing more than a trick of my mind.
This cannot be real.
“Sky…”
I call her again, but she doesn’t even bat an
eyelid.
No…. she…
The bond it’s….
She’s broken it… It’s hanging by a thread,
but I refuse to accept her rejection.
Aleric hisses and he pulls away, making me look at him sharply.
He’s clutching his neck, which is bleeding profusely. 5
“I hope she ripped through his neck,”
Charlotte whispers as she holds onto my
arm.
“Are you alright?” Skyla asks him, concern
clear in her voice.
He gives a curt nod as he fixes his collar,
hiding the mark, but there’s something
wrong.
“Babe, are you alright?”
Those words grate on my fucking nerves, and my eyes flash as I look at her.
“I’m fine.” He says, his eyes blazing, but he
isn’t.
What do I do?
“Let’s return to the hall.” He says, turning and taking Skyla’s wrist. “Come, Royce, I’m sure everyone will love to know you’re
alive.”
He doesn’t even glance back at me as he
leads the way to the hall.
“Sure, let’s tell the world how you tried to
kill me.” I counter icily.
Aleric simply looks over his shoulder and smiles confidently.
