Chapter 287: Just Desserts

Aila kept her features emotionless and let her thoughts turn to the vampires who were yet to die, the vampires who acted so cruelly to the humans and one of the lycans. She couldn't allow herself to become panicked. She stared back at the white-haired vampire; she couldn't work out if Cassius really knew Damon and the others were near the castle or if he was merely suspicious and wanted to confirm it by her reaction. It was even harder keeping Malia at bay, but after her wolf read her thoughts, she too quietened and even put a wall up between them.

Instead of reacting how he'd expect, Aila arched an eyebrow at Cassius and crossed her arms against her chest. "I can assure you that I am glum because these leeches are still alive," She retorted with a tint of sassiness to her voice.
