Chapter 43: Broken trust

Seeing that Talia was not responding and that Damon didn't react, Cassie was emboldened.

"Answer me!", Cassie hissed at Talia and spoke to Damon without removing her gaze from Talia. "Is this how your Omegas are acting? You really need a Luna to teach them some manners. Sneaking in the dark and stealing food, and then they even refuse to respond…"

"That's enough, Cassie!", Maya said sternly from the door.

Maya's heart cracked when she saw Talia's submissive stance. It's not that Cassie had any aura, but Talia was a broken soul who needed supportive environment.

Maya walked to Talia and asked softly, "Are you OK?"

Talia nodded faintly, but Maya knew that Talia was lying.

Maya narrowed her eyes at Damon and spoke through the mind-link. 'Is this why you brought her here? I thought you promised her protection and not another type of hell.'

"Come, let's get out of here…", Maya said to Talia while wrapping her arm around Talia's shoulders.
