Ravenna took the stairs feeling dejected when she recalled Alaric's reaction when she asked that question. She had thought he would get angry when she saw his eyes red and the fangs were already protruding, as if his beast was on loose.
Surprisingly, he walked away without a word, but Ravenna clearly saw the pain, hurt, and agony, mirrored in his eyes the last time he briefly glanced at her before he left her room without a word.
Just before she could reach down the stairs, she heard some people talking, more like arguing.
"Where is she? I don't care what hole she crawled out from, but I'll make her disappear for seducing my favourite person. Where's that woman?"
Though the voice was not clear, Ravenna could swear she had heard it before but was not sure where.
"Where have I had that voice before?" She bit her lip, taking unhurried steps while still trying to figure out.
