Chapter 14
Rose didn’t trust Zayne being nice to her. It always meant that they wanted something in return for them being kind even though she didn’t ask for anything. She didn’t dare voice her opinion now to let him know that she wanted to leave as he might place someone to stop her from leaving.
"Why isn’t anyone moving to do as I said?" Zayne questioned, close to losing his temper over how his peers stared at him. "Leave it to me to do everything."
Zayne walked around the large table to go to Rose. He was the only one that she kind of knew so she might not try to stab him if she had that little knife on her. "Release her," he ordered the soldier.
It was easy to tell that she did not like being held. Zayne was yet to figure out if it only came to men or if she found it uncomfortable with women as well.
Rose avoided Zayne’s gaze. At the moment, she didn’t know who she was safer with. He had helped her in the storage room and didn’t alert anyone of her escaping, but she had been burned too many times by someone being kind.
"Follow me," Zayne said, leading her out of the room.
Rose did as he said and followed him to where she would be made to stay.
The two left everyone in the room confused as outsiders weren’t allowed to stay here since the king was trying to spy on Zayne.
"I’m impressed with how far you made it. You must not get out much to know that our camp was this way. You could have ended up in the hands of someone bad by just running around not knowing where you are going," said Zayne.
