It was as if Lilith was struck by lightning. She halted in her tracks, and the shadowflames on her fingers quickly died down. She looked at 'Aaron' with shock and incredulity. "You— What did you say?" she mumbled softly.
Inwardly, Erik snorted victoriously, and somewhat smugly. Clearly, he wasn't the only one who'd been thinking about the other for the past few years. Instantly, a speck of his anger was satisfied, and a feeling of superiority rose inside him. Being able to fool Edda like this was helping him postpone the desire to rip her throat out. At least for a little while.
Outwardly, however, his sly grin returned. "Oh? It seems my suspicions were correct. I had no idea your name used to be Edda, my Lady, but I know your hair used to be golden and your eyes used to be blue, before The Primarch ascended you."
I hope you enjoyed reading :)
Consider leaving a review if you did!
And consider checking out my other novel, 'Dreadwolf, Lord of Runes', if you feel like reading something a little darker and with a mix of sci-fi and fantasy!
