Chapter 44

Zevara’s POV

God… those words were brutal. Inhumane. I could feel Selena seething as if she would have strangled him if possible.

“Because you’re what again, Selena?” he said, poking his ears like he was bored. “I can’t hear you. Have you suddenly lost your fucking voice.” He slammed his fists on the table. “Oh.. let me complete the statement for you.”

He tilted his head forward, his lips curled into a menacing smile that left me shocked because I haven’t expected this side of him—compared to the cheerful man that I saw earlier.
