“I can understand your trepidation, given my past, but even if I felt threatened by a young, mildly attractive Simpleton, I still wouldn’t react, because you’re on the verge of giving her up,”
“Are you just going to let her step in and captivate your delicious harem, while you build a home for her family? Are you that pathetic?”
Anna, however, is starting to scare me a little bit.
“You’re losing them,” the wall whisperer tells me in her barely audible rasp. “You need them.”
“Maybe because I’m tired?” I suggest, leaning against him, as I allow myself a second to rest.
“Hmm. She almost sounds like she cares about the Simpletons who are going to own their very own beds for the first time ever,” Anna states, words dripping with sarcasm. “I wonder if she poops food since she talks shit.”
“I came to warn you to change article-one, section-two, addendum fifteen,” she says.
the thing she does when she wants me to know something Arion told her she couldn’t tell me.
“Everything I told you I was going to do, but you were too busy chasing Idun to listen. Does that make me sound jealous too?”
“Like I said. I already did, and you signed off on it. You all listen as well as you read when it’s just little ol’ me instead of big bad Idun.”
“Do you hear yourself agreeing with her just because it’s easier to do?”
“She’s taken on too much, and she’s going down the same path as the pureblood wolves did with Emit. She’s doing the exact same thing to Idun, and she doesn’t even see it. She’s the one intentionally riling Idun the second Idun enforces her authority,”
The monster she claimed was all the devil’s work from the stone.
Zuela’s grip tightens on the railing, because like me, he knows what a wailing of that magnitude feels like.
“Forty-eight Simpletons have endured a hundred times as much as you’re all cringing at today. Which is why I’m here. It’s my turn. Because I’m what stands between her petty, deranged tantrums and all of you,” she goes on, which has Nadine darting a glance at all of us.
“This isn’t about you,” she says like she wishes I understood that.
“No. It’s because you simply don’t care what an omega—even me—tries to accomplish, even if it’s in compliance with your own laws. It’s because it’s not worth the turmoil Idun will cause. I broke up with you because you refused to understand that Idun will never be my problem, no matter how many times she needs to be dealt with.”
“All the while, Violet was telling us not to let you become her problem. She warned us quietly, and none of us heard her. Our listening skills are subpar.”
