"I even wrote him a letter!" Finn roared with rage. "I wrote him a fucking letter explaining who I was. Who my mother was!" His chest was heaving now, breath ragged. "The least he could have done was seek her out, apologize, or something. Anything! I don't know, he could have tried to make it up to me."
Finn let out a harsh, bitter laugh. "But instead, some months later, I get chosen to be Alaric's beta…" He spat the title like it was filth. "He couldn't bring himself to apologize, but he had no problem making me serve the very son who's living the life that should have been fucking mine! Is that how much of a joke I was to him?!" His laughter grew wild, edged with disbelief and pain.
Zara's face hardened. "So let me get this right, you're angry because your mother didn't get an apology?"
Finn shot to his feet, shaking with restrained fury. "I'm angry because you all ruined my mother's life. You ruined me!"
