Chapter 21 Mathilda

• Mata's POV
• She stood in the doorway, her eyes wide with shock. Her breath hitched, and I could almost see the fury building in her chest as she took in the sight of Francis and me together. She was my most loyal soldier, but she had always been possessive. I’d seen the way she looked at him, the way she wished for more.
• “Mathilda, what is it?” I asked, trying to keep my voice steady, though I could feel the tension thickening in the air.
