Chapter 89 I Exploded

• Mayi’s POV
• I wanted to stay. I wanted to let her explain herself — to hear every word instead of reading guilt in her eyes. But the longer I knelt there before her, the angrier I became. The storm in my chest grew heavier, and Mali, my lion, was just as furious. His roars echoed inside me like thunder crashing against the walls of my mind.
• He began blaming me for everything — for not sensing the truth sooner, for letting her slip away, for living all these years blind to what she had done. His anger burned through me, fusing with mine until I could hardly tell where his emotions ended and mine began.
