House Of Legions (The Angel Descendants book 1) novel Chapter 35

“We both know you aren’t big on love William, but you are one of honour, seeing Franchesca’s burial is honourable, even I am here, but it doesn’t explain why you’re sitting out here.”

She didn’t face him, he didn’t move, “The last time you hid was when you met Roselletta Rulaen.”

He had forgotten how blunt and straightforward Alexa could be. Elvan always the bitter bastards he thought, “I’m here to protect Clare, I don’t want the distraction, so I’m keeping my distance.”

As if he said it all, she gasped, “You have feelings for HER, the weakling? But you barely know her, I’m intrigued.”

He clenched his fists, his guard defensive, Alexa knew how to get under his skin, he told himself to be careful, keep the shield up, “She can’t even ward off a Shapeshifter, Her body is too weak to handle my presence and she cries A LOT.”

Alexa raised her voice, sarcasm unfiltered, “She would, she just lost her mother.”

He almost smiled at that, “Now you defend her.”

Alexa turned quickly, and pushed out her hands, before she pointed at him “I’m not, but it sounds like you are making excuses and finding logical reasons to your actions.” She arched her eyebrow waiting for him to deny it, but he didn’t, she continued, “When the most logical one of all is that which you refuse to acknowledge, but fair enough, your personal life isn’t one with many red ticks is it, how is Roselletta doing, are you still her run to guy.”

He grimaced at the thought, “You certainly know how to get me thinking don’t you?”
