“You treated her like a dog!” Kai bellowed, his worried eyes flashing to me. “You hurt her.” I swallowed the massive lump in my throat. I knew Damon treated me badly, even though I hated facing that fact. I’d just made excuses for it. He’s not well. He’s alone. He needs someone he can trust. I loved him. What was I supposed to do? I could make him better. Right? But if the sacrifices only come from one side, it’s time to face the truth. He was hurting me.
