LYRA'S POV
Kymon doesn't look a bit surprised. He just hums, shakes his head, rests his elbows on the armrest, and stares up at the ceiling so I can only see his Adam's apple staring back at me.
" No matter how much I try to avoid you." He says, sighs, and looks at me perfunctory. " You never seem to go away."
I swallow the words about to spill out from my mouth like venom and reply softly to him instead, " It's not like I'm left with a choice."
He sits straight, rubs his palms on the side of his robe — it seems like a habit— bends over, and fills a golden cup with wine. Red wine.
" You do have a choice."
" I wouldn't be here if not for you."
" Still your fault." He is sipping his wine, staring at me with oblivion. Acting like he didn't send Lyriq to capture Cas. Like he didn't blame another wolf for his misdoings.
I want to jump on him and claw that oblivion right out of his eyes.
