It was too many for me to handle on my own and Weston stood still now, his nose nearly to the ground. I didn’t call out to him. In the end, this wasn’t really his problem—I wasn’t really his problem. I didn’t have time to linger with the feelings of disappointment or hurt.

his people in their human forms, snarling. A moment later, though, I heard the sounds of retreating hooves. Alexander had brought horses.

He should’ve been much faster⁠—“ “He was.” “—much stronger⁠—“ “He definitely was.” “—and way outclassed you.” “That’s insulting. He has no class at all.” He grinned, a small expression, and it melted something inside of me. He’d always been my harshest critic.

Hadriel winked, and then pointed at his eye. “See what I did there? I winked, like you are constantly doing to me because one of your fucking eyes is swelled shut and it’s giving me heart palpitations.

“Oh honey . . .” Her brown eyes swept to Weston, scanning his face for a moment, before coming back to me.

Well, if any posters are around with her likeness, it being bruised and swollen would act as camouflage.

It’s just that I have definitely used bare hands on myself, but I’m not sure if women think that’s gross? I don’t pee in the shower, just to be clear on that. I don’t do that. Almost never, at least. I’m just⁠—”

I ached too much to question it or even mention that, if I’d planned to run, I wouldn’t be doing it very quickly. They’d catch me without much hassle.

Strangely, his expression was grim. He looked away from me, straight ahead. It wasn’t like him not to comment.

I do not fault you for what has become of the product. It was necessary to ensure your survival. Don’t be too hard on yourself. You didn’t have any other options. Neither of us did if we wanted to keep the organization going and keep those walls protecting you.

“I love you,” I said quietly, reading that line again and again. “Back to our family . . .” My chest felt tight. It was the first time she’d ever said she loved me. The first time she’d mentioned us being family.
Jsalt80
Is she serious right now? What does that even matter? And why didn’t Hadriel say anything about the letter?

She wouldn’t sacrifice one of her people so that she could go free. She was a better alpha than that.

What? After she just sacrificed them to get to you at camp?

“But . . .” I clutched the note, tears blurring my vision. “What if she’s alive?” “What will that change? Would you go back to that life?” Would I? “I mean, maybe I could at least talk to her. Say goodbye.”

Sobs made my battered body shudder painfully, suddenly so confused. She was family. She could make things better.

I didn’t want to leave like this. I didn’t want to walk away. I’d had no choice the first two times, but this time I did. She was still alive. We could talk about it. I wanted to give her a chance to explain, to change.

If she’d altered my product to protect me, surely she’d be amenable to altering it so that it was just as effective but safe.

How in the hell was it to protect you? It was for profit, which you saw none of…

“Many reasons.” His tone could cut granite. “You will go to the dragon kingdom, as planned. You will stand in judgment, as agreed. Your dealings with that woman are finished.”
Jsalt80
Why? Why is he acting like that? Now I don’t like him.
