Chapter 229 - Afraid

"No. I am not leaving no matter what you do or say. If you wanted to kill me, you would have when you strangled me, and since you didn't, I believe you wouldn't again," she whispered as she hugged his head to her bosom. He was struggling to get away, but it seemed he had been weakened from all his night of suffering that he was reduced to this state where he couldn't even fight her grip. He tried to pry her hands from around him, and when he couldn't, he growled inhumanly to scare her away and bared his fangs at her. But due to the dimness, Ave couldn't see the fangs, and his growl was doing nothing to scare her because now she believed he wasn't going to hurt her again after he'd recognized her.
