Chapter 26: Invitation
Kieran held her gaze. Like he was trying to tell her something but could not quite explain. Like he wanted her to understand but did not want to expand.
Autumn ,however, stood frozen in the empty gymnasium hall, Kieran’s words were still ringing in her skull.
What the hell did he mean by hesitate? Hesitate to do what? Why couldn’t he just... talk... like normal people.
She even thought of...
Before she could unravel it further, a Blackmoon warrior burst in, breathless.
"Alpha! Velor is here...he is at the guest hall and demands your audience."
" That bastard dares show up in my land?!!" Kieran’s aura instantly turned to ice. Autumn could feel the air itself recoil from him. There were icy flares all over this body!
"His death brings him here," he growled, already striding towards the door without so much as a glance at Autumn any more... Like she wasn’t even there moments ago. Like that softness in his eyes that Autumn had seen... Only moments ago... Was nothing but illusions... Fragments of her imagination? Nonsense!
But his frame was so rigid, so terrifying in its resolve that Autumn instinctively took a step back.
She tried to follow, unsure what she was walking into. "Kieran..."
But he spun around so fast, his eyes flaring.
