As soon as we were out of the library, I rounded on Kane, "You knew? You knew they were demons and didn't tell me?" I demanded.
Kane paled, "I-I-"
"If you want to be my mate, you will want to work on your communication skills." I snapped. I was about to walk away when the sounds of steel shod boots rang out on the white stone floors.
Coming down the hall was a group of seven armed guards. They were actually running, in the palace. The leader reached me. He looked me up and down. Through the male's helm, I could see worry in his eyes. The rest of the guards surrounded Kane, hands on their sword hilts. I frowned at them.
"Is something-"
"Are you uninjured, Miss Adamare?" The leader guard asked cutting me off. I nodded slowly. He let out a relieved breath then turned to face Kane. "Mr. Essenvir, you have been accused of killing Mr. Trentalin Goldleaf, a national of Volantis. We are to take you to the cells for questioning. Will you come willingly?"
I gaped at Kane in astonishment.
