章 160: 160. Conciliation

Jael held Mauve in his arms as she cried. She clung to his chest as she sobbed, her shoulders going up and down. He rubbed her hair, trying to calm her down. This was difficult, he pulled his head back and pinched the bridge of his nose.

He had assumed she wouldn't want to see him and it was more for him than to try to get to her. He had expected her to be angry at him after he brought her on the trip to Lord Levaton's castle and she almost die.

She wouldn't even be in the vampire region if it weren't for him. He didn't want to face the backlash and had run like a little kid. The fact that she was crying completely misunderstanding the situation, tore at him.

Her shoulders stopped shaking and he adjusted her in his legs so she was comfortable. "I am not sending you back, okay?"

She pulled backwards and looked up at him with tears in her eyes and a mess around her nose. He was sure there was some on his shirt but he didn't particularly care.
