Haunting Silence

Lina didn't know a single place in the world that she could go to that Kaden couldn't find her. This man was more possessive than an alpha to its mate. She gritted her teeth so hard, it was going to shatter. Digging her nails into her palms, she swiveled around.

"Tell me you're lying."

"You wanted the truth." Kaden stared her straight in the eyes. He held her gaze for the longest second. Then, he saw her pupils shake, her mouth opening and closing.

Kaden softened his gaze. He took a step forward, but she quickly went backward. She created more distance between them. He remained in his current position. He didn't want to further separate them.

"I understand, dove. This pain and hatred you feel, I've experienced it once before. Let me help you—"

"I don't want to watch everyone I love die." Lina's head began to spin. She was in too much disbelief over what he had done to her. How could he? This… this traitorous man!
