Lies and Betrayal

Chapter Thirty: Lies and Betrayal

Nora's Pov…

The room buzzed with whispers and low murmurs, tension hanging in the air like a thick, suffocating fog.

My hands curled into fists as I turned to face Dorian, my entire body brimming with fury.

I strode toward him, the sound of my heels clicking against the stone floor echoing through the silent hall.

"What are you planning?" I demanded, my voice sharp with anger. "What are your games?"

Dorian simply smirked, tilting his head as if he found my outburst amusing.

"I only came to take you back," he said smoothly, his datk eyes gleaming with satisfaction.

He took a step closer, lowering his voice.

"And you know," he added, "I never lie."

My chest tightened with rage.

"You are lying," I snapped. "And you know it! You bastard."

I moved to hit him, my wolf howling with fury inside me.
