Chapter 40 relationship

"At first we met when he saved me from C-" I shut my mouth as soon as I opened it. Fuck. I didn't even think of that. I couldn't tell Alister about any of that either.

"Saved you from who?" The suspicion in his voice hit a new type of fury hidden within him. Even the slight thought of him not being there to help me was enough to make him go on a full-blown murder spree. I swear, the temper on that man was unbelievable.

I couldn't believe myself. Right after telling myself I couldn't bring up anything about Cullen, I proceeded to bring up who else but Cullen.

I stayed silent, hoping his suspicion would blow over soon, but apparently that was impossible when talking to someone like Alister.

"Kamala, who did he save you from?" His tone held malicious intent behind it and my silence only drove him to increase his wrath. He wasn't asking anymore. A dangerous glint gleamed in his eyes and I found myself hesitant to answer.
