Chapter 21 - FEAR

•Leiara•

My chest mounts and falls heavily as I draw a deep breath.

"I-it's… it's not what i-it looks like," I manage to let out.

A loud gulping sound leaves me as I swallow to maintain calm.

Colson's enraged face doesn't waver. His eyes remain zeroed on me, dark with so much anger I can only tremble.

His tone is harsh, but more than anything, cold with an eeriness that grazes my skin painfully.

"N-no," I reply, my voice barely audible.
