'Damn. I failed to kill him. I'm doomed. I'm going to die in his hands now.' Eve shut her eyes, her heart thumping so hard against her chest. She waited for the impact, expecting Alaric to slit her throat or stab her heart.
"Why?" Alaric's deep icy voice sent a shiver down her spine. His tall figure loomed over her small frame, his hands gripping her shoulders tightly as he pressed her firmly against the wall. "Why did you attack me? Do you want to kill me?"
There was a trace of sadness and pain in Alaric's eyes as he stared at her, clenching his teeth. 'Eve tried to kill me. She wants me dead.'
Eve's body trembled in fear, trying her best to hold back her tears. 'You tried to kill me first. And now, Annie is gone because of you…'
She wanted to yell at him but she chose to keep her silence. She didn't want Alaric to know that she could speak now.
