A few seconds and no response from Lucien made Blair think that, just as usual, she wouldn’t get any response from him at all. She lost hope of getting any and knew that the subject of the pretend-bride was touchy for him.
Maybe it was high time Blair accepted that she was nothing but play-pretend.
He was there only to give her more and more confusion, and she couldn’t blame Lucien for that. She was the one hoping that there was something more. Especially when Lucien said he suddenly didn’t want to die because of her.
Blair sat down on her bed as she tried to pull back her thoughts and emotions. Maybe Lucien liked her, and he probably felt something more than that. She should have been contented with it, and she wondered why.
Blair felt heavy and she tried to ease it with a deep breath.
Because she was an alpha’s daughter, and she was always treated specially by most of the people around her.
