Chapter 271: Blackmail
Chapter 271
Blaze’s pov
We were all having breakfast together, or trying to, because no one clearly had an appetite out of everyone currently seated around the dining table.
Roy had bags underneath his eyes and I knew he was worried sick about Kim. I didn’t even know when he became this close and attacked to the omega that he’d be this affected by his absence.
I hated to admit it but the omega has also grown a little on me. I disliked Kim so much from the onset because I knew he was helping some powerful people carry out their dirty jobs but later, I ended up understanding that he did most of those things because he didn’t really have a choice. I didn’t think that was a tangible excuse for his past disguising acts but I didn’t hate him any more. I believe it was more because of my mate, because if it really hadn’t been for him, I’d have really killed the omega a long time ago.
Labyrinth was seated in the chair beside me and he was picking at his food. As I stared at his face right now, I felt an ache gather in my chest as some images from the night we spent together reemerged in the front of my mind. Whereby we had told each other how we actually felt. I didn’t even plan on doing that.
I’ve known I loved him for a while now, it wasn’t an unexpected discovery, but listening to him tell me that he loved me as well had just felt like the most perfect thing ever.
The worry on his face right now irked me, I didn’t like that he was worrying and I wished I could instantly make everything better for me, but sadly, I was basically powerless in this situation.
"Do you guys think he’s still alive?" Roy broke the silence and I noticed Labyrinth stiffening beside me.
He nodded jerkily and coughed a little. "Of course he is. He really is." He responded, and then he excused himself, fleeing from the dining room as soon as he could.
"He’s just feeling guilty." I said to Roy who currently had his face cradled in his hands.
