Chapter 61

• Lilith POV
• I was beyond fed up with Marcus. The way he treated me was unacceptable, and I couldn't take it anymore. "If you don't want to come, then you should have stayed behind," I told him. He tried to hold me back, but I ran away, fooling him. Marcus told me it wasn't funny as he chased me, but I couldn't help but laugh and keep running.
• As I looked behind me to see Marcus, I slammed into a figure. I had run far off, and standing in front of me was a man with a sneer and a wicked glint in his eyes. I could feel the hair on the back of my neck stand up as he grabbed my arm, and I protested, pulling my hand away from his grip.
