Chapter 156
Kamilla felt like every bit of her body was trembling and Viktor could see it. She’d been accompanied to Cassius by the Legion, but they hadn’t found Ursula She had apparently gone after Rogan who’d disappeared from Kingdom without a trace.
It was then that Kamilla had found herself idling about with her old buddies, Jaime and the gang, making the Legion, who’d promised they wouldn’t make her actually go into Ont
start their sudden requests for a single, innocent visit.
Kamilla bit her lip in regret. She’d resisted, but then they’d phoned Damon and he’d convinced her by saying that Viktor had gone to England that morning. What a fat lie!
Kamilla swallowed hard as Viktor’s dark gaze settled on her. She felt a quietness enter her, erasing all the anxiety she’d been feeling for the past ten days as she looked at him. He looked rugged and so incredibly sexy with his damp hair curling behind his ears. He looked like a Vampire outlaw, the most dangerous kind. And the healing scars on his brow and his lip enhanced that.
The sight of the scars made Kamilla sad. She wished he’d allowed her to stay if only for long enough to kiss his bruises and comfort him. After finding out that Rogan was his brother, Kamilla was sure that Viktor was in a state.
And despite all the kind, gentle things she wanted to do for him, her utter embarrassment wouldn’t let her. God, the mortification! It made her stoma twist until she thought she’d pass out. Damon, the fibbing mouse! She wasn’t ready to face Viktor!
After blurting out a bunch of things that only served to further embarrass her, Kamilla attempted to make her escape, but of course, Viktor was right behind
her.
The moment she opened the door, she saw his jaw tighten and held her breath. Maybe it would have been a good idea to leave Jaime in Cassius as the Legion suggested.
But Kamilla was glad she’d brought him along! Now she could leave with her dignity intact!
She looked back at the guys who were all looking uneasily at Viktor.
“Damon,” Viktor said quietly, his gaze sharp on Jaime. “Bring me that fool.”
Kamilla’s eyes widened and she looked at Jaime who was cluelessly waving with the most innocent grin on his handsome face.
Damon nodded. “Yes, Viktor.”
Kamilla gasped as Damon moved forward and quickly jumped into his path with arms spread out.
“Wait!” she said. “That’s my friend, you can’t hurt him!”
Viktor eyed her. “Your friend? He’s a Cassius drunk who’s dared to come to my doorstep with no invitation! And what was that he referred to me as?” With gritted teeth, Viktor looked at Damon. “Bring him to me!”
“No!” Kamilla said, really worried now. “Please, Viktor.”
At the sound of her calling his name, Viktor stilled. Slowly, he turned his gaze to her to find her looking up at him with those eyes. Those damn eyes that were probably the first thing that tore past their forced bond to truly implant her in his heart.
Viktor felt the ache for her run powerfully through him. He needed her. He needed her so badly, he thought he’d die from it. He needed her back with him, by his side as his Queen. Despite it being the most dangerous place for her, his side was where she belonged.
If she’d stayed away from him for a little longer, maybe he’d have been able to continue without her, bearing his torture, but she just had to reappear like this, making him go insane at the reminder that she was in this world, and yet not by his side.
Viktor swallowed, his throat working with the action. “Why?” he asked quietly. “Why’d you come back here, Kamilla?”
The question threw her off and Kamilla slowly lowered her arms. He was looking so deeply at her, making her feel totally exposed. Her cheeks turning red, she lowered her gaze. “I–I told you… it was a mistake. I won’t come back!”
“That’s no longer up to you,” Viktor said darkly, making Kamilla look at him wide–eyed.

Huh?”
Viktor took a step toward her and another, until she was against the wall and staring up at him with wide eyes. “I said… he murmured. The chore freedom from me… of deciding whether or not you live free of all that I am, is no longer yours. You gave it up when you allowed me to see your face
Kamilla stared up at him, clutching her bag. His words washed over her like a cold breeze, making her shiver inside her coat.
