Chapter 94 - 96
Avara POV
Alec shadows us like a deranged stalker, not contributing his voice but consistent in the incessant sounds he makes as Landen leads me to wherever we’re going. His commentative sound effects to the tune of mockery with a wry scoff there and a scornful snort here.
"I’m sorry," Landen says, more like an announcement than a sincere tribute of remorse.
I look back at him questioningly.
"For whatever reason you’re upset at me," he adds.
I nearly bring us all to a halt, my composure struggling to wrangle free from anger’s grip.
"You know exactly what you did," I hiss back.
"I know what I didn’t do," he corrects with a smug twist of his brow. "You’re acting as if I spiked your drink—which I never did—for the record. The first time, I ordered our drinks in front of you. And this time, you chose to eat what was in front of you," he says, glancing over his shoulder to share a wicked grin with Alec.
"Which you knew I wouldn’t have if you did the right thing by telling me that it was laced with an opioid!" I yell back as my head snaps forward. "But am I to expect from the likes of you?"
"My heart bleeds," he says dryly.
Alex snickers behind us, meeting my glare with an indifferent grin.
"Where are you taking me and why is he following?"
