Troy:
I felt Clementine's words against my cheek like a slap when she asked me to walk away.
I did not see it as a task to go after Yorick. I saw it as her way of wanting to be alone with her mate. That was so messed up.
The fact that Haiden had been her bully for so long, but she was suddenly helping him with his revenge, being overly sweet with him, going out shopping and letting him choose a gown for her, just bewildered me.
Was it that easy for someone to earn her forgiveness? Then why was I being put on a stake, especially when I was a victim of her rumor?
I rubbed my face in my hands as I walked out of the hall, headed straight downstairs, to the garden to find Yorick. But then I heard someone come after me and call my name.
"Alpha Troy?"
