Her face paled at his words, but seeing this didn’t give him the pleasure he thought it would.

“Y-You know?”

“Yes, damn you,” Hexius couldn’t stop himself from snarling. “I had to find out for myself because you didn’t fucking tell me the truth!”

Tears started falling down her cheeks, but this...this gave him no pleasure either.

“I’m s-sorry—”

“Stop fucking saying you’re sorry when your actions say otherwise!”

Samira started backing away, but no fucking way was he going to let her go without extracting his pound of flesh.

“Did you have fun leading me around?” Hexius demanded as he stalked toward her, and Samira let out a gasp of fear as her back hit the wall. “Did you think you were so fucking smart—”

“I n-never—”

“Stop playing the innocent, damn you!”

“I’m n-not p-playing anything!”

“You were manipulating me from the start—”

“I only started reading your thoughts after we mated!”

Hexius froze.

“And then I...I f-figured out how to block your thoughts out, and I n-never l-listened to them again—”

The truth in her words crashed over him like ice water.

“Oh God.”

And he could feel his own blood turning into ice as he saw the way she was now looking at him.

“Y-You t-thought—”

Samira was looking at him like he had just killed her for the second time.

“I w-would n-never—”

“Samira—”

He said her name because he wanted to make her stop hurting.

But instead it was the opposite, with Samira flinching upon hearing it.

“Let me explain—”

But it was too late. She had already run out of their suite, and he went after her without hesitation, his only thought to keep in his life the only thing that mattered.

And that was her.

“Samira, wait.”

This only made her run even faster, and that was when he forgot the fucking rules.
