Lazarus stares at me with a lethal expression, suffocating silence like a ticking time-bomb. Swirling my tongue around the cherry-flavoured lollipop to suppress the unease churning in my stomach. Glancing over his shoulder to Emmett, silencing questioning whether he knows what is happening.
He frowned, shaking his head, equally puzzled. Fixing my attention back onto Lazarus, his silence more unsettling than when he speaks. “What now?” I snapped, agitated. “I don’t need this after puking my guts out.”
His inky eyes flashed with fury, releasing an exasperated breath as he asked, “When were you going to tell me about the assassination attempts on your life?”
I’ll admit, this was a rather tamed reaction than what I expected. Raising an eyebrow at him, “Didn’t you say I needed to win at all costs?” I retorted bitterly.
