Chapter 64. His Admission

Stefan

The room falls silent when Thorin steps into the room. He looks between us all, and his eyes stop on me. I feel like he is going to attack me again.

Only this time, I feel like it will be due to his own hate, not Wayne's order.

He runs to me, and I watch everyone tense, his arms wrap around my body in an embrace. I stare down at him and see the tears.

"Leave." I look around and watch everyone walk out. "Thorin, it's okay." I move and kneel in front of him.

"I hurt Mummy." His head falls, and he cries, my arms wrapping around him.

"No, you didn't. Your Mummy wasn't hurt," I argue. It was me who hurt her. I opened my mind up and pushed the pain through to her.

"I'm not stupid. She felt it through the bond." He looks at me. Well, there goes my argument. I open my mouth and close it again. Had it been Isaac, I have no doubt it would have been easier to convince him it wasn't him.

Thorin seems too smart for that.
