“You underestimated me, Egrette.” I spoke softly, and the words felt far away. Yet they vibrated in my bones. “Once I had thought you were the wiser one in the family. And yet, you drag me out here and you threaten what’s mine. As if she’s just an object to be used for your purposes.” Saying it aloud made my rage nearly unbearable. I was speaking to Malach, Raoul, Shiket, Nyaxia, Atroxus. So many unforgivable injustices.
