Chapter 24: I Have Questions

For the next day, Lazarus was restless. Emma hadn't met him and she avoided him at all costs. He couldn't sleep well again as rage built in him. On top of that Maeve had also left. He had hoped that she would return soon, but he knew that she couldn't. 

Desire inside him swelled to the level that it was difficult to contain. Now that his mate was near him, he wanted Maeve all the more. His thoughts went to the time when she… satisfied him. She had never. She was always promising she would and every time she promised only after he showered her with his wealth. He wondered if she was going to do that after they married as well. 

Lazarus was extremely handsome and that was the main reason why most women lusted after him. Maeve also showed signs that she was attracted to him initially. Then why did she leave him when she knew that he needed her? And she even said that he could use the services of the mortal. That made him think of Emma all over again.
