I know I don’t deserve her.” His expression faltered at my admission. “But do you even realize how much this petty feud is hurting her?” I allowed my eyes to graze over the King men. “She has done nothing wrong, and you shun her like she means absolutely nothing to you. If you do find the time to acknowledge her presence, you somehow find a way to make her feel small. So no, you don’t deserve her love any more than I do. You’re just mad because of my last name. I worship the ground she walks on, so what the fuck is your problem?”
