Camilla's POV
A weight of apprehension dropped in my chest, heavy as a rock, as my eyes swept the room. When no one said anything, I turned to Malakai.
"Tell me what's the problem already," I muttered, frustration sharp in my voice. "You want to return me to him, is it not?" My voice dropped lower.
A glower formed on Malakai's face, and I bit my tongue. After what he did to prove I would never go back to that monster, I shouldn’t even be thinking like this. But it was difficult to be rid of that part.
“It’s not that, lovely,” he bit out, irritation and anger mingling in his tone. "I've told you those bastards will never get to see you again."
Elani and Heaven looked confused.
"You can't blame me. I don't know what else to think when everyone is looking like this," I murmured.
