“No,” I blurt, staring at him as I prepare for the fight that’s about to come my way. “It wasn’t a question.” The smile on his face doesn’t falter. “And I’m not a puppet,” I retort, rolling my shoulders back as I glare. “Do you need me to hurt one of your men?” The smile slips just a little and I shake my head.
This little dynamic has grown tiresome already. Every single fucking time Erikel tells her to do something she defies him, he threathens her men, she complies. Every. Fucking. Time. I dont know why the author keeps bothering with this shit. Either write Raven to be defiant or compliant, but stop with the fucking pretense, it’s obnoxiously repetitive and became dull literally after the second time.
