Chapter 72

• Maliyla's POV
• The more Erick talked, the more my blood began to boil. My composure was tested as Hector reminded me about the humans in the restaurant, but Hathor was my main concern. It was only a matter of time until Hathor took over. Even though I feared she would do so, something inside me told me all would be well. Upon seeing Erick seated, I could no longer control my emotions. His cocky grin made me want to jump over the table and slap it off his face, as I also wanted to rip out his fucking heart.
• "In exchange, I will give you her mother," Erick's cocky words ignited the fire within me, and I could no longer resist.
