(Isabella POV)
An awkward silence filled between us. I was looking at the floor admiring its design but I knew Nyx was staring at me.
The air around me was tensed as I try to think of words to say to him.
What should I say? It's all messed up.
I heard him sigh as I looked at him. He gave me a smile before extending his hand to me.
"I don't want her to be on bad terms. Can we please talk this out?" he asked as I nod, my eyes filling with water.
I quickly took his hand as he smiled and pulled me to his lap. He wrapped his hand tightly around his waist while my hands wrapped around his neck.
I hummed as I put my head on his chest, cherishing his calm heart beat.
"Isabella, you should know that I cannot stop this war until we found my uncle. He is precious to us." Nyx said as I looked up at him.
"But what is the use of war. All you do is kill innocent people who have no idea of what happened" I said as he sighed.
