Chapter 265: Trust

Aila stared at Davian for a long moment as her body was in turmoil of emotions. She didn't know how to feel about Davian releasing Cassius, but she knew he felt guilty about it, and she knew from his diary and commentary that he despised him. This indicated just how much of a hold Cassius had over Davian, making her wonder if she would ever be free from it. Her ancestor was powerful; she could tell just by standing next to him, the essence radiating off him almost smothered her. 

Did age also add to the strength of a vampire? 

It didn't matter right now. "You freed Cassius," She replied calmly and emotionlessly. "Have you been with him since?"

She wondered if Davian had been helping him from the start. 

"No, I helped him escape and then fled," Davian looked down as he steered her by the elbow to miss a muddy puddle on their path.
