LOGINAlaric was taking his bloody time to get here. Damien had suspected that his brother wouldn’t make things easy for them. He was an incredibly selfish individual, and he only did things when they benefited him. So, for the next few days, Damien tried to get to the very bottom of his nephew’s problem.
Kerry bristled at that. She hated that Asher, of all people, knew about the abuse—and the fact that he kept bringing it up was just fucking low. But inwardly, she felt more shame than anger. Shame that she couldn’t bring herself to hate Silas despite that. And Asher was very much aware of this. “Y
Kerry didn’t know how to feel about having her husband’s heart pierced with some cursed wood. She stared at his unmoving figure on the bed. Unconscious, not dead. Somehow, she didn’t like the sight of Silas like that—not one bit. Despite the fact that she should hate him for the things he had been d
