Once I have calmed down, he lets go and leans back in his chair placed beside me. The Darkling just sits there and stares at me, observing me the way he always does.
Moments pass, I become frustrated and snap at him. "Well? Are you going to yell at me? Hurt me? Tell me how you are the only one that I am equivalent to in my eternal life, so I should rely solely on you?
He raises an eyebrow. "All of those would be sufficient options, but no."
I scoff in response before asking, "then... what are you going to do with me?"
He reaches out and traces the features of my jaw and face. He replies, "well that will depend on you."
"Me?" I ask warily. He moves a strand of hair out of my face and continues to caress my cheek.
"Yes," he exhales. "I don't want you to hate me, Alina. It is up to you to decide whether you want me to be your villain or your husband."
