Chapter 281: Hit Me With Your Best Shot, Honey [7]
"You’re a good person, angel... but you must promise me this," Liana added and that got the Lycan king’s attention. He had never been a good person. He knew it by heart. Yet Lina seemed to firmly believe that he was a good person. Of course, the first time she had said that to him, he had thought she was mocking him, that she was trying to remind him of how much of an asshole he was to the general public.
He had assumed that it was her lame attempt at making him feel worse than he always felt. However now, as he looked at her, the sincerity in her eyes calling to him, Zaffuto was tempted to believe that there was some good in him.
This woman was making him delusional and a part of him was desperate to see if that was a possibility. What was good and bad in his life? What was his definition and better or even something that could scream love and life?
Perhaps she wanted him to prove that to her, but what the fuck was the man supposed to prove when all his life he had only ever been an evil narcissistic bastard?
This was not going to be simple for him, and yet he wanted to see where it would end for him. Perhaps his Lili was onto something. Perhaps she was right to believe in him, even if it creped him the fuck out.
"Anything for you, Lili. Anything," Zaffuto said confidently and truthfully.
"You must come home to me before the sun goes down, always, unless you’re on a mission with the warriors," Linaa said and Zaffuto stared at her curiously. He had expected something else, which was weird because his mind had been blank.
However, with the words from her mouth, he couldn’t help but feel he wanted her to say something. Something that even he had no clue about. Coming back home to her? That was stupid.
He never came home.
