Chapter 221
"You shouldn’t keep anyone’s blood on you for so long. It is dirty," Rose said, setting aside his shirt.
She could confirm now that Zayne wasn’t injured and it had been Mathias’s blood but Rose did not like knowing Mathias’s blood was on Zayne. It was as if the blood being there would taint Zayne. Change him from the man she loved.
"Is there a clean shirt here you can change into? Also, a small bowl and cloth for me to clean your hands with," Rose said, personally wanting to get rid of the blood. "I am grateful for the things you do for me."
"Is there a but coming?" Zayne asked, hoping Alexander had not gotten inside her head.
"No," Rose shook her head. "He doesn’t know what it is like to be in my shoes. There isn’t anyone trying to kill him. The dangers around me aren’t so simple and I know they will not pass by talking."
She continued, "I truly do not mind if Alexander wants to be close to Mathias. They had each other for eight years and I would not make him pick. Is it so wrong that I do not want to be around Alexander if Mathias is in his life?"
Rose would be understanding if Alexander didn’t want to be in her life because of Zayne. He could never ask that she get rid of Zayne so Rose wouldn’t ask him to end his friendship with Mathias.
"It is not. He’s very stubborn and focuses on what he wants instead of looking at others involved. I worried about Mathias approaching him first. Alexander might have unknowingly made a way for Mathias to get to you. I can’t trust imbeciles by you when I am not around," said Zayne.
There was no doubt in his mind that Alexander would hesitate to lay his sword on Mathias if Mathias had approached him while he was with Rose.
