Chapter 665: An Unwanted Longing

The dark hallway seemed to pulsate with Rebecca's anxiety as she stood before Asher's door, her heart pounding a desperate rhythm against her ribs.

Her knuckles grazed the cold stone, the sound barely audible, yet it echoed through her like a thunderclap. 

From within, Asher's voice beckoned, a casual commandl that caressed her skin despite the revulsion coiling within her, "Come in."

The door edged open, revealing Rebecca's silhouette, her breath hitching as she stepped inside, the click of the door shutting behind her resonating like a jail cell locking, "W-What did you tell Oberon? Why did he come to you?" Her voice was a tremulous whisper, eyes flashing with a mix of fear and loathing as they met Asher's calm gaze.
