lightly, “If you’re angry at me, we can talk about it instead of trying to take my life right away.”

When Chloe finally focused on my face, her eyes widened in recognition and the sword slipped from her hands to the floor with a loud clatter as she took a hurried step toward me, her voice trembling when she said, “Noah,” before adding in a rush, “I’m sorry for pointing my sword at you, I really didn’t mean it, was just scared.”

I looked at her for a long moment, taking in how nervous she seemned, as if she truly thought I might be angry enough to hurt her, and without thinking too much about it I reached out and placed my hand on her head, ruffling her hair gently in a way that made her freeze, her cheeks instantly turning a soft, embarrassed red.

“It’s okay,” I said with a small smile that was meant to reassure her, even if part of me was still tired and distracted, “let’s call it a truce, because after all I also once pointed a dagger at your throat, so we’re even, right.”

She nodded quickly, a relieved smile spreading across her face, but it vanished almost immediately as her gaze dropped from my eyes to my neck, her expression darkening in a way that made me follow her line of sight without even meaning

Of course, she was staring at the marks, the bright hickeys Damien had left behind when he kissed and bit me earlier, and the realization made a knot twist in my stomach, because Chloe and Miles had already seen us together, and now this would only make things worse.

I had completely forgotten to cover them, and there was no way she would not draw the wrong conclusions.

I decided the only sensible thing to do was to change the subject as fast as I could, so I cleared my throat and said, “Oh right, before I forget,” while reaching into my pocket and pulling out Chloe’s hairpin.

Her eyes went to it immediately, and then to my hair, and when she noticed the second hairpin that Damien had just put back for me, her face darkened even more, which only confused me further.

“I wanted to give this back to you,” I said, holding it out to her, “because it’s really expensive and I don’t think I should be keeping it, especially since you already paid me enough for being your bodyguard.”

She did not answer right away and simply stared at the hairpin with a strange, unreadable look in her eyes, which made me frown slightly as I asked, “Chloe, what’s wrong.”

She looked up at me then and smiled so widely that it felt forced almost brittle, before she said, “Okay,” and took the hairpin from my hand.

Normally I avoided using my mind-reading on people like Chloe and Miles, because I had promised myself to mind my own business in this life, but something about her reaction was so off that I could not stop myself this time, and when I brushed against her thoughts, her voice echoed clearly in my head.

“If that man thinks he can steal Noah from me, he’s wrong. I won’t let him. This is a competition now, and I will make Noah my husband. I’ll let my love overcome every trial.”

I stared at Chloe in stunned silence, because I could hardly process what I had just heard.

What did she just say?
