Phoenix:
Jai walked me back to Kiara's office on his way home. She had shifted my duty to the daytime, and I wanted to convince her that I was fine doing it at night.
That was the only way I could avoid meeting the king.
"You sure you wanna go in alone?" Jai stuffed his hands in his pockets and yawned, "She seemed kinda pissed earlier."
I gave him a half smile, "I'll manage."
Thank Goddess that he didn't throw tantrums when he heard Beta Hunter in the bar. While coming here, I had to convince him that I went to the king last night only to heal him. And nothing happened.
However, I had left the slap part out of it.
"You sure?" he raised a brow but didn't push it, "Text me if she throws a chair at you."
"Ha ha. Very funny," I muttered and turned towards the door.
Jai walked off down the hallway, humming some stupid song. I took a breath and fixed my shirt before knocking on the door.
No answer.
