Chapter 45 The Council

• Niklaus' POV
• I knew that Valerie had traumas because of her experience with that good for nothing retard, and I had seen her react to it, but never this badly, not even when we had sex. To say that I was scared was an understatement, I was fucking losing my mind. I kept calling and tapping her for a while before she heard me, and even then, she still looked haunted and scared.
• We were outside the building now, and I hoped this would at least help her make more sense of her surroundings. I kept her down, but didn't let her go. My hand remained firmly on her waist.
