"I'm not jealous. I'm only curious," Lauren said, more calmly this time.
"Hmm… I can see that." Alec nodded, smirking. It got her more annoyed, so she rolled her eyes at him.

She tried to free herself from his grip, but he only pulled her closer to him, and it didn't help that she was physically weak. She was never stronger than him but she had been weaker these days. It was because of her condition, and she feared that her illness might attack her again. So she sent a missive to Darius on her way to the garden earlier so he would come to the castle. She needed a stronger kind of pacifier to relieve her pain.
"Fine, let me tell you."
Lauren sighed and stopped struggling to get away. She raised a brow at him, "Tell me, then."
