Terrified, Yilan reached out to grab Aren's hand, but Aren side-stepped to avoid her touch.
"If you want my help, hand over everything Bree made you do and all the items she gave you," Aren demanded coldly. "Otherwise, just wait to be taken away by the Security Department to Sunken Island."
Sunken Island was the Empire's specialized facility for detaining females who had committed grave offenses. Once a female entered that place, she would never be allowed to leave.
"I'll speak! I'll tell you everything!"
Shedding tears, Yilan blurted out everything Bree had instructed her to do, including her desire for Vincent and how Bree had promised to arrange for her to form a mate bond with him. Finally, she retrieved two very unusual potion vials and offered them to Aren.
