All I could do was to cry. "I really love you, Raine. Please give me a chance." “I don’t want to hurt you, Shawn, but while it’s still early, I’m reminding you. I was in a hurry then so it all happened to us. I learned. I don't want that to happen again. It's up to you if you continue what you're doing, but I guarantee you nothing." My voice cracked." Look, Shawn. You're kind, gentleman and handsome, but our paths are misaligned. You deserve someone better than me, Shawn. I'm sorry."

Every heartbeat seemed to grind the wood deeper into flesh, as though my body itself were conspiring against me. I had felt worse before. But not like this. This pain was layered—physical agony braided with black magic, corrosive and invasive, eating at my magic, destabilizing my core. I could feel the corruption crawling through my veins like a slow-moving poison, unraveling me thread by thread. I had hidden most of it from Darius. From Adam. Opening the mind path earlier had been a calculated risk, and I had refused to let my suffering become the trigger that sent them charging into a trap like reckless heroes in a tragedy.

I couldn't even remember how Julia got hurt. I never did anything to her. Why didn't he believe me? I was willing to leave him on my own accord—I wasn't that pathetic. I wanted him to look at me.

"For six years, you haven't experienced the strength of a man's waist on you. You should be glad and thankful." Pathetic. May thought. He is so Pathetic. May shivered, shutting her eyes as her head and body shook. She fought with trying not to make noise as she cried. She sniffed, wiping under her nose. "Karma will fuck you up." She started. "You will find help but there would be no one to help you. Pain. You will feel pain twelve times worse than mine. Disappointment would be your daily companion. You would feast with deceit. You would mate with deceit."

"I do. I just struggle to believe it." "Look at me Ezra. Please." He did as I asked, so I continued before I lost the nerve to say what needed to be said.
