CHAPTER 486
~Zara's POV~
Whenever Davion started to say something, Kaid interrupted—changing the subject, redirecting the conversation, sometimes not even saying anything relevant—just… stopping him.
And Davion finally had enough. "That's it," he snapped, slamming his palm on the table loud enough to turn heads.
"Finally," Kaid said mildly. "Was wondering how long it'd take."
"You've been goading me since you walked in."
"Maybe. Or maybe I've just been talking to Zara. You're the one taking offence."
"You don't get to play the protector," Davion snarled. "Not after what you did. Not after you left her with Snow."
Kaid's smile vanished. "Careful, prince."
"No," Davion said, rising halfway from his seat. "You don't get to act like you care now, just because I'm here. If you actually cared, you would've stayed. You would've fought for her instead of running off to lick your wounds."
"I walked away to keep her safe."
