Chapter 89. Wretched Words

Raina’s POV

"I am only interested in the white-haired woman. I must find her.” Valen-look-alike slowly prowled down the side of the bed to come around to me.

Shit! He was really in my head. My throat tightened with my eyes never leaving him.

"Yet you came here to harass me." My hands dropped to my side and I panicked breathlessly. Sweat spread between my breasts.

"Because she was last here." He grated from the foot of the bed in a flat, emotionless voice, but his piercing eyes were the opposite.

"Well, she's not here anymore. Leave!" Rattling, I recoiled as he got menacingly closer. “I am of no help to you and you won’t share what you know about that hussy.”

He snarled. “Don’t you fucking call her that!” His deep baritone rattled my entire being. “Grrr!”

Defensive much! Angry vermillion eyes sized me up. The ill-laden air stilled for three seconds. I hoped, wished, and begged for this face-stealing troll to disappear.
