The look in his eyes broke Zariah's heart in ways she could not describe and Zariah wondered how it could be so hard when she had only met him today.
This only strengthened Zariah's resolve as she recognized the tug of the mate bond already at play, pushing and pulling her heart as it pleased.
It did not matter how hurt he was now, he was bound to be more hurt when Zariah's sword was finally pointed at his throat,
Zariah reminded herself if she hesitated now, it only meant she would still hesitate once again when that day arrived.
The inarguable fact remained that Alpha King Askel Vance Niolen was the enemy and there was nothing that could change this fact.
Zariah avoided his eyes as she continued speaking, she ignored his questions and merely said the words she had to say to him.
"I believe it best to see to this situation immediately, when we meet tomorrow, I shall remain representative of the Crimson Moon Pack."
