Chapter 31
Selina’s body had barely gone over the edge when Aiden finally moved.
Why save her? He didn’t know.
Was it basic human decency? A twisted sense of attachment? Or had something in him changed in just these past few months? Whatever the reason, the young lady couldn’t die like this.
Aiden reached out desperately toward the body plummeting past the window. His fingers grasped at nothing but air. All he could see was that pale face, hurtling downward at terrifying speed.
With her hair swept upward by the fall, she almost looked like she was sinking into water, rather than plummeting toward solid ground.
“Please... Please... Please... Please... Please... Please....”
Aiden clenched his teeth as he murmured under his breath.
Do you want another piece of cake?
It’s fine, consider it repayment for saving me earlier.
The only one allowed to get angry at my people is me.
Strawberry flavor.
Scattered voices echoed in his mind. Toneless, detached words floated past his ears. Expressionless faces flickered in his vision. He needed to focus. He had to act now. But those strange voices only grew louder and louder, until his head felt like it was about to explode.
