Chương 157: The hunt [3/7]

"No!" she finally burst out, stopping Subastian from continuing. Shaking her head frantically. "That's not it! The vampires or you have nothing to do with it… it's not you… it's not the vampires…" her lips started to tremble as her tears began to flow from her eyes. "I'm not… scared because of you… or any vampires!"

Sebastian yanked her into his arms and held her, unable to stand watching her cry anymore. He couldn't bear the sound of her trembling voice as she tried to keep herself from breaking down.

"I'm sorry… don't cry…" he whispered as he held her tightly in his embrace. He tried to keep his composure even though all he wanted in that moment was to rush out and find whoever it was that had scared her so badly, and skin him alive and torture them until they were begging for death. Even then, he would not let them off for torturing his Izabelle.
