Chapter 73: An Apology

Kahlan POV

I wiped off my tears because I wouldn't want Naomi to see me in this state. Well, if she tries to mock me, I'm going to give her the beating of her life. Maybe I would eventually be able to kill her.

It took a moment before Naomi stepped inside. She hesitated by the door. "May I come in?"

I scoffed. "After you are inside already?" I moved to the chair. "What do you want now? To wash your feet? You must be looking for a maid to do that for you."

Naomi released a sigh. " I'm leaving the pack as soon as I finish speaking to you," she announced, confirming what I had heard from Eric earlier.

I regarded her for a moment. "Why?"

Naomi looked away. "Because I don't have a place here. Actually, Eric told me something about you," she looked up at me. " And I realized I've been so harsh on you."

"No!" I said quickly. "You were very wicked. Are you a witch?"

Naomi's eyes went wide slightly as if in shock. " My mother was a witch while my father was a werewolf," she confessed.
