“Who’s going to protect me when you’re banished? Huh? Who is going to keep me safe and happy once The Elders destroy your life for bringing harm to another member?” “Maddox. He’ll make you happy. He’ll keep you safe.” “That’s why you told him to go be with me, isn’t it? Because you’re planning to get kicked out of The Society? You know what’s coming?” His voice rises to a near shout and my limbs quiver. “Give me the damn number.” “We’ll never be together if you do that. You know the rules—no outside relationships. Is that a risk you’re willing to take?”
Are you seriously baiting him?
WHAT DO YOU WANT FROM THIS MAN!? YOU’RE ACTUALLY GIVING ME WHIPLASH!
