The Beta's Daughter
I imagined hugging my mother and father, and as I pictured their arms closing around me, I began to sob.
“We’re going home now,” Samyak said. His eyes were wide, and his nostrils were flared. He looked between the road and me a number of times in quick succession, blinking too rapidly.
“No – I mean home,” I said, swallowing thickly. The car revved, and we sped through the forest. “I miss my family,” I continued, the words coming easily to me now. “I miss Rosa. I miss Aron and Ayon, and, Goddess, I miss Jacob. Everything was so much easier before I met you, Samyak,” I spat. The words didn’t process in my mind; they came out of my mouth without a second thought.
