Chapter 156

Her eyes, her walk, her entire aura was radiating a malicious energy. It seemed as if she would snap someone's neck if they breathed too close to her.

She stared at his outstretched arm for a moment, her eyes softening immediately. She took his hand and sat next to him, in her rightful place.
• However, she still looked troubled. He mind-linked her, asking if anything was wrong. She was quick to claim that she was completely fine.
