Aella could feel the numerous pairs of eyes on her face but the one which was affecting her the most was the golden orbs right in front of her.
They all seemed to be waiting for a response to what Bane had said and she felt at loss.
The stern gaze coming from her mother next to her was burning her cheek and it was plain torture happening in front of her.
Her family was waiting for her to reject what Bane had mentioned but Bane was standing with a calm look in front of her because he knew.
He knew that she wouldn't let him leave because he was the only one who could help them with the curse on their heads.
"A-Aella," her mother's grip on her hand tightened but Aella closed her eyes with pain.
She hated this. She hated Bane for putting her in such a situation that she would have to choose between her family or staying with him.
