THE ALPHA KING'S MAID
“How long have you been living with this?”
“Since I was six,” I answered, honesty slipping out before I could stop it. “The night my parents died. A demon killed them. And left something inside me. A fragment of itself. It’s been there ever since. Growing. Feeding on my pain, my fear, everything bad that’s ever happened to me.”
“And the voice?”
I looked at her. I hadn’t told her about the voice. Only Silas knew.
“How do you know about that?”
“Because yesterday, right before you transformed, you whispered something. Quiet. Like you were answering someone. You said ‘no.’”
