He looked badly provoked of what I said but how he's trying to suppress himself and keep his temper down made me think that my assumption might be true. He was just lying when he said he doesn't need me alive to threaten Landon. The truth is he needs me alive that is why he is trying his best to keep me. I don't have the slightest idea about the ritual thing, but I guess there is a higher chance that my assumption is true. And I will use that as an ace against Alec. He won't do anything to harm me. Until the ritual day at least. And that is the thing I should know about so that I would able to plan something to escape—if ever Landon or any of his men won't show up to help me. But then, I can't just depend on him like a damsel in distress waiting for her prince charming. That shouldn't be the case. I should think about something at least.
