ELLA

I arched an eyebrow and stopped myself from blurting the reply that was making its way to my lips as he continued talking. “No one was ready to explain what they thought was happening, no one wanted to sit with their emotions and be actual people. I… I don’t know how to explain it,” he stammered, and I gave him a knowing smile as a familiar feeling engulfed me.

“You don’t have to explain it, I understand,” I muttered, and he scoffed.

“No, you don’t,” he countered. I started to say something, but he continued speaking, ignoring my attempt to respond. “I couldn’t believe my eyes when they swung into action immediately, expressing concern about other members of the pack not finding out about it, deliberating on the best way to contain the situation while they looked for a solution. It felt like they were soulless beings who were solely focused on governance alone.”

“Well, you can’t fault them if they have to look after the collective. They were probably going through shock themselve

    ELLA“It’ll send shivers down the spine of the members of the council and everyone who looks up to both of you,” I added after a minute of silence.I could tell that he was thinking about what I had said, and I realized that until this point, I hadn’t given it much thought either. With everything I know now, you’d think I’d have learned to see things beyond surface level, but I was starting to realize that I needed to make conscious effort to read between the lines.Maybe Ava was right, maybe this is all there is to my existence; the consistent cycle of having the Blackthorns in my face and their evergreen interference in my life.It sucked to think about it like that, and I still held on to the tiny hope I had in the life I wanted to build for myself when this was all over, but right now, I was slowly making peace with my reality.This wasn’t a conversation I intended to have with anyone, much less him, but it felt nice to admit the truth to myself.I felt like I was looking into my

    EllaThis conversation with Lucian was draining me of any energy I thought I had mustered up over the time we sat here, but nothing could’ve prepared me to hear about what happened to Kade.I hated their guts; Lucian’s explanation of his behaviour towards me made things even worse, and there was a deep‑seated discontent with his presence here. But it wasn’t enough to make me gloat over Kade being unconscious.I had spent so much time contemplating whether undoing the bond was good for me, and I hadn’t given much thought to how it might affect them.I’d be lying if I said I did not feel terrible about the choice, though. It was one thing to consider my options and pick what was best for me; it was another to feel empathy toward someone in a dire position.I felt sorry for Kade, but I would still choose to start this process with Claire no matter the outcome. Lucian’s opinion about the way they treated me had only solidified that decision.They were assholes, and if the tables were turn

    LUCIAN“Congratulations,” I said in a sarcastic tone. Midway through her response, I realized this conversation should never have happened.I had let my emotions get the better of me and started a fire that wasn’t going out anytime soon.“Thank you, but I’m not done,” she replied, leaning back as she continued. “The entire time I spent getting away from all of you, I kept wondering if I was making the wrong decision. There was a part of me that held onto a piece of that place. But now that you’re here, you’ve made it easier for me to let go.”Her words made my heart skip a beat and filled me with a sadness I never thought I’d feel about her. But I held my tongue. The last thing I wanted was to give her the impression that her words had gotten to me.“It makes absolutely no sense to tell me you came all this way because I was on your mind,” she went on, “and in the same breath, say that the unfair treatment you gave me the entire time I lived with you was your way of toughening me up f

    LUCIANI could feel the scathing sarcasm in her tone from where I sat, and it was understandable. She had spent years viewing Kade and me as the enemy. Hearing a different perspective might be a lot to take in.It made sense that she was questioning everything I said. I would too, heck, I was internally struggling with all the emotions I’d been feeling since I saw Kade sprawled on the floor.I heaved a sigh and shook my head slowly. I had come here because my brother was unconscious, and the seer said she was connected to this somehow. I didn’t anticipate the turn things had taken, and I’d never admit it to anyone, but I was a bit rattled by the experience.“You don’t have to believe me,” I replied, pulling myself back to the conversation we were having. I needed to focus on what was happening right now; there was nothing I could do to help my brother back home.Maybe the seer wasn’t as crazy as I thought, and being here was the solution. She clicked her tongue against the roof of her

    ELLA“Sorry, I… I felt the urge to say something to dispel the tension in the room,” he answered, and I arched an eyebrow.“Since when do you care about how tense an atmosphere is?” I asked and scoffed.“Since I figured it made more sense to stop being an asshole,” he responded with a calmness that felt bizarre.I squinted at him and waved dismissively, but something stuck out to me. This was the first time in my entire life that I had witnessed Lucian admitting to a fault, apologizing for it, and even going the extra mile to explain his motive.I wanted to fight the feeling that had begun making its way through my body, but it had already raised some conflicting thoughts in my mind. So, I reminded myself that the subject was Lucian Blackthorn.If there was anyone who’d be stuck on the old version of themselves, it was certainly him.I thought about the possibility that I could be the one stuck on old ways of seeing things. Then I squinted at him and shook my head vigorously. This was
