(Max's POV)
As Max strode back to his chambers, his internal turmoil was a roaring tempest.
He was at war with himself, grappling with lust and betrayal in equal measure. His body had betrayed him back in Anna's room; the stirring, insistent arousal was a physical manifestation of the maelstrom within him.
He had felt a primitive, all-consuming desire to claim Anna, even while his conscience screamed in protest. It was a level of carnal craving he had only ever felt for Asiva.
' Damn it all! ' Max thought as he felt like punching through the palace walls.
It was all very frustrating because his tier5 test that revealed his inner demons showed a visual where he discovered that he did have some form of attraction towards Anna.
