"Come forward, Rose," Felonious said as he went over to his smaller table.
Rose had tears in her eyes; she could endure everything that was happening to her in the dark kingdom, but what was about to happen had been her fear from the moment Felonious announced that she was Cassius's mate.
Her legs trembled as she slowly walked past Cassius and toward Felonious.
'Cheer up, I'm just trying to help you,' Rose immediately halted, blinking and snapping her head from Cassius to Felonious, thinking one of them had spoken to her through the mind link, but the looks on their faces told her it wasn't any of them.
And, she was sure that what she had heard was a female's voice... a familiar one.
"Stalling won't stop me from marking you tonight, Rose," Cassius suddenly spoke behind her.
Rose blinked, a frown on her face, "I'm not stalling, someone spoke to me in my head," She tried to explain.
"I don't care, Rose. Move," Cassius held her hand and pulled her toward Felonious.
