Chapter 17

Claire's POV

I kept eating my food in silence and didn't even look at Hunter or Demon. When I was finally done, I picked up my plate and started to leave the room. A big hand grabbed my elbow.

"Where exactly do you think you are going?" Hunter asked with an eyebrow raised.

The hand that was holding my elbow made me twist my lips. "Umm, well, your Excellency. I'm going to take my plate into the kitchen and then take a stroll around the neighbourhood. I said sneering.

I tried to pull my elbow out of Hunter's grip, but he only got stronger. "I don't think so," he said. Letty will clean up everything, and you won't be able to go outside on your own."

I laughed. "Let me say this: Where I'm from, we don't rely on other people to clean our behinds. We usually do it ourselves. Second, I don't need Letty to clean up after me, and I don't need to be escorted anywhere. I'm only going to the pond I saw from my jail—I mean, from your bedroom." I gave him a big grin.
