Chapter 73

Toby then groaned and said, “Lucy, I’m on your side. But he’s your mate. He should know. And besides, he might even love you more after I say this.”

“I’m going to kill you for letting this slip, Toby!” Lucianne hissed.

“Yeah, I thought so. Sorry, Lucy.” Toby said guiltily before looking at the confused Duke and King as he started explaining, “Being the only one who can heal from silver without blood transfusion, Lucy always… shielded us from the blades.

She shrugged and defended herself meekly, “We didn’t have time. It was the safest way to keep the number of lives we have.”
