“Yet you let Staya hum Troek. 1 Pend, my voice lazed with contempt. “She was allowed in spread her poison, feeding everyone livs arut dare parting me at every turn. She moned through the park without a care, whispering against me, tearing me doen while I held the title of Cara, eke was free to undermine me without consequence.”

I paused, feeling the depth of my own furt. “I was wolfless, had nothing. You all saw fee as weak, s worthless. Even when you pretended to accept felt the pity in your eyes, the silent judgment.

My voice rose as the memories crashed over me, each one more painful than the last. “You were supposed to be my mate,” I spat, my eyes fixed on Lacian. “You were supposed to be on my side, the one person who would stand up for me. But instead, you let her stay. You allowed her to poison Redcage with her words, with her lies. And then you cut me off-all because of the lies Bianca fed you!”

“Strangers took the stand against me and you believed them. Eager and willing to cast me aside. To condemn me to my ill fate.” I said and chuckled. “But why wouldn’t you? I was useless. And somehow you believed I had no options. That was why you all could be so careless and brutal. Expecting me to take whatever was dished to me. I was a charity case, the daughter of your enemy,” I whispered, my voice hoarse with grief.
