I didn't say anything at first. Couldn't. The words were there, locked behind my teeth, fighting to get out. Finally, I managed, "Am I supposed to feel guilty?"
"Of course not." Morrigan's expression softened. "But things are not the same anymore. Cian is not the same anymore."
"Neither is any of us."
"He has a mate now."
