Solaine's POV
I trailed behind him as he made his way to his office. I can't help but scan my surroundings, constantly hoping to catch a glimpse of Selene.
"What's the purpose of our presence in this place?" I inquired. "Is this yet another scheme for Selene to-"
"You're aware of my unwavering commitment to stopping that-"
"Seems like you didn't do anything," I interrupted, fully aware of the fresh pain Selene had caused me.
"Sorry," he said.
I allowed him to observe me. I didn't reply.
"That's great," I replied to him with a smile.
"Denver mentioned your state of being," He clenched his jaw and locked his gaze with mine - those eyes have a gentle shade of blue.
"Oh, yeah, I am indeed-"
"Don't deceive me," Our bond is so strong that I feel completely immobilized. I gaze at the door, attempting to evade him, but he firmly grasps my chin, compelling me to meet his gaze.
"Why are you subjecting me to this?" I inquired.
