Chapter 11

VALERIA’S POINT OF VIEW

Azura and I were now on the path with Olethros’ scent all over it. It was terrifying. I knew he had gotten intimate with someone because I went through hell. I didn’t mind though because I was done with him. Done with being the mate of a monster. He could sleep around all he wants. What I wanted to know was why I felt the pain. We weren’t even bonded. It was probably the work of the goddess.

“Are you sure you can walk? I mean, after what happened to you,” Azura was concerned.

“I can.” I told her, “What I am feeling doesn’t really matter. I just need to get rid of Layton.”

She abruptly stopped walking and faced me, “Doris said something about your Father’s death. Do you think it’s possible that Layton didn’t kill your father?”

“He killed my father. He even had the audacity to send me a note saying he had kept a gift in my father’s room.”

I felt a lump in my throat as I remembered that dreadful day. Layton killed him and it was more than enough to want him dead.
