Chapter 378: Keeping Your Guard Up
I tried not to let my mind linger about what happened a few seconds ago or at the thought of Dace having a fiance, someone whom he would marry one day, and spend the rest of his life with.
Do not linger, Emma! I’m only tormenting myself by doing this, I try to keep my stoic expression but it is becoming harder than I could imagine.
Can I really not handle this? Have five years not been enough to make peace with myself? I have to find a way to get out of this place because I crack.
I need my brother, I need Luther. But in the meantime, I can’t be like a damsel in distress. I have to hold my ground. I have to believe in Tiger.
I sat on the comfy seat right in front of his desk, sitting just over it with his eyes on me. I said nothing as I crossed my legs and relaxed more, he just helped himself to a cigarette.
He smokes a lot... I wondered how that habit started, but I can’t deny it was hot each time he took a drag with his lips and blew a cloud of smoke from said lips.
Shit.
I cleared my throat, gaining composure and my own sanity. "What do you want with me, Alpha Devereaux?"
"I’m sure my reasons are clear to you, Countess..."
"You kidnapped me to get to Luther"
"Bingo"
