Chapter 20: Unspoken Understanding
Aria’s POV:
Kaida took a step back, her palpable in the night air. “Lyraeus, please, I…”
“No excuses,” Lyraeus growled, his voice low and threatening. He took a step forward, his presence imposing. “You abducted Aria.”
Kaida’s eyes darted to me, searching for sympathy at the same time it showed her hate for me. “Aria isn’t needed her, she doesn’t belong to you, Lyraeus. She’s a danger to you and to ……”
“Save it,” Lyraeus cut her off, his voice stronger than he felt. The memories of my captivity, the pain, and the fear surged back, fueling his anger. “You think you are smarter and wiser than the moon goddess?”
Lyraeus moved closer to Kaida, his eyes burning with fury. “Are you smarter than the moon goddess?” He asked, his voice growling in anger.
