KAEL.

"I don't know. I can't remember anything about her, but..." I paused.

"But?" she asked.

"But I crave her." I didn't know why I let those words slip out. I couldn't even admit that to myself, but for some reason, it flew out of my tongue as if it were the general truth. Desiree's chest heaved as her nose flared.

In just two steps, she was in front of me. Her hand flew and landed on my cheek. She slapped me hard, and it sting. But it didn't break anything within me. It didn't rattle my senses, unlike when we were younger, whenever she was fuming mad at me. So I knew this was the end of us.

I didn't want to hurt her, but I also didn't want to shower her with words she would rather hear.

"Shame on you, Kael! Adessa tricked you into marrying her once, and she's doing it all over again! And you're just letting her! Who knows, maybe the danger she's in is just a game she's playing to get your attention!" She stopped to take a deep breath, but then she continued. "Oh, how I wish she was really in danger and that sooner, she'll end up dead!"

A growl reverberated from my chest at her words.

My hand grabbed her arm, tugging it. "Take it back!"

"No!" She shoved my hand, and since I was not holding her too tightly, she was able to get away. She stepped back and smiled sarcastically at me. "I wish her dead! And if you think I will leave this house, you're wrong! I'm not leaving, and I'm not going to give you up without fighting! I'm claiming what's mine!"

She turned around and walked out of my office, slamming the door on her way out.

I growled again and aimed for the nearest wall, punching it hard to release all the pent-up frustration inside me.
