Chapter 83

Ember's Pov

I know I sounded harsh, but I was still feeling way too much pain to care.

Blowing out a breath, Axel ran a hand down my hair,

"Knowing that you aren't feeling so well right now, I've decided not to probe on what you would really want me to do. However, I'm grateful for this go-ahead. I intend to do it justice. Paris won't know what's coming for him."

"he still can't know my true identity. Just in case you plan on confronting him directly."

"Oh, it's okay. Your true identity is safe. At the very least, until you need to ascend your position, or whenever it Is you are ready."

I scoffed when a thought entered into my mind,

"what's that?" Axel asked, and I lifted my head to face him,

"It's something dumb."

"I'm sure I can handle it."
