Liam returned at dawn. Guards lined up in the walkway. Everyone stared as he approached. Whispers followed him like shadows. Elias leaned casually against a pillar chewing on an apple.
“Well, well,” Elias smirked. “Look who decided to grace us with his presence”.
Liam ignored him as usual. Not wanting to play his silly games.
“You missed a lot last night.”
“Move”.
“Oh, I will,” Elias said, falling into step beside him. “But first, you're suspended”.
Liam stopped.
“Say that again.”
Victor's orders. You didn't report back. And rumor has it that you were partying outside town “.
Liam's jaw tightened. “He sent you to tell me?”
“Oh no. I volunteered. You know I love getting on your nerves “. Elias grinned.
“True”. Liam agreed.
“Liam.” Victor's voice cut through the courtyard.
