My heart sank. 'He burnt them? Every single one?'
Then that meant… whoever did this wasn't from the pack. 'If she is not from the pack, it is Alpha Allison… But would she do business with creatures that Damon despises so much?'
I swallowed the lump in my throat, my voice small but firm. "What if the witch isn't one of yours? What if they snuck in?"
'Or you invited them in?'
He didn't answer immediately.
Instead, Damon stood up, his massive frame casting a shadow over me. His boots echoed as he slowly walked around me, like a predator circling its prey.
"You're trying too hard to sound innocent, Ember," he said, his tone cold and sharp like a blade. "But you're forgetting one thing."
'And what might that be?' I rolled my eyes inwardly in exasperation.
"You're not just any girl. You're the one who bit me."
A chill ran through my bones. 'What does that have to do with the situation at hand now? Maniac!'
