“That sounded really close to a threat, Talia,” I accuse her as I step into her space.
She bares her fangs to me in a wicked smile. “Oh no,Principe. It was a promise.”
“I wasn’t joking, Talia. Get out. I won’t have you, because all I am to you isprincipe,not a person, a man. Out. Now.”
She storms out of the room, wrapping her arms around herself and slamming the apartment door behind her.
Fucking hell.
Talia isn’t going to forget this. Thankfully, I have already ordered Elina’s protection pendant, but I will have to watch her closely. Grabbing my jacket and a few supplies from my desk, I follow the path Talia took and slam my apartment door behind me. Watching her take off toward the By-Water, I head the other way.
Running fromPiazza della Lunato Little Woods takes just a few minutes. I jump up to the roof of the neighbors house and settle in to guard Elina for the night.
