Chapter 80: Bared to you: Part Eight

When Esme next opened her eyes, she didn't cry, groan or shake from finding herself inside of the cage. She expected it and ended up staying there for two weeks, Ethan saw her daily, but she never interacted with him; she was overcome by grief and felt like nothing more than an empty shell. Surprisingly, Ethan let the walls to their mate bond down, and she could feel a slight sense of guilt bubbling up in him. He knew who Marcus was and didn't care for his death, but he never realised he had killed Esme's mother. However, that guilt would be replaced with anger, and she knew it was because his 'mother in law' stabbed him first.
