Chapter 38

Lucian was visibly anxious as he looked towards Lemira, "Lemmy, can you really stand by and watch your little sister get hurt like this?"

Alaric furrowed his brows, knowing full well that Evelina's actions were somewhat out of line.

But if Lemira just agreed to join the team, wouldn't this all go away? So, all Lemira had to do was nod her head in agreement.

Lemira responded coolly, "You guys might be missing the point here."

Lucian was baffled, "What do you mean?"
