Veron stared at the shivering lady standing before him. He wondered why she was avoiding his eyes and looking at the door instead. Was she thinking of escaping?
Seeing how she was clutching the front of her torn dress, trying to cover up her body, his curiosity was piqued as to how she found herself there.
He pushed his body away from the wall, and took a step toward her, forcing her to peel her eyes from the door, setting them on him.
When he continued to approach her, she instinctively took a step back as confusion and fear swirled in her eyes. He could hear her heart beating twice as fast, and she took another step back when he was standing right before her.
Karina flinched and shut her eyes when he lifted his hand, thinking he wanted to touch her. She normally wouldn't be this scared, especially in the presence of this person, knowing he was her coursemate.
