Chapter 396: Spill Some Blood

"I still think it’s a terrible idea leaving her back there like that," Alaric said with guilt.

"Lila’s dead," Asher replied bluntly. "We’ll give her a proper burial after we rescue Violet and Griffin. Until then, we can’t afford any more delays."

"Not just one, but two. " Asher commented.

Adele murmured, tensing. "And they’re coming my way fast."
