Chapter 452: + - 452+
"I’m guessing it isn’t for a house visit?" Nikolai lifted a brow slightly, a little stung that Silvia was hurrying over to cart away her precious assassin immediately after being told he was free to go.
He knew he didn’t have the best reputation, but he had let Angelo go, mostly in one piece, that should count for something.
Angelo instinctively took a step back, his scent had changed, it had become syrupy and more pronounced. He wasn’t at all worried about Nikolai, it was just his instincts kicking in.
"Hardly," He dropped his eyes to the patterned carpet beneath his bare feet, "I didn’t tell Silvia you let me go," He admitted, although now it didn’t matter much, he would have to leave with her because of his rapidly approaching heat.
Nikolai’s second brow joined the first, "Oh?" He straightened up, pleasantly surprised. "Then, why is she coming over?"
Angelo owed the Mafia King some explanation, he would be leaving right after Silvia showed up anyway. It was important they left before his heat fully started or he would be stuck in Nikolai’s apartment until it was all over.
He awkwardly put a hand in his wild hair that flowed down his back, it was really difficult to say for some reason. "Because I’m probably going to be in heat soon."
Now it was Nikolai’s turn to take a step back, he gave Angelo a proper once over. The assassin was usually expressionless, his face and body all sharp lines and hard planes but right now, there was a softer air around him.
Maybe it was the morning sun on his wild hair and his sleep rumpled clothes, but it made Nikolai take another step back, swallowing back panic. "I’ll give her a pass in," He nodded, turning away to leave.
