He did nothing! I did this! Only because he let you do it The ht entered uishing the flae as I watched the faathered around Ethan and Ivy theEthan put me in the position

You should have killed him The darkest voice in my mind whispered

“You have three options,” a deep voice I didn’t recognize in an accent I couldn’t place spoke beside et all the attention back on you; option two, you continue to stand here in silent rage with that manufactured smile plastered on your face”

“I thought you said three?” I replied, not even bothering to look back at him

Someone like me? I was not in the mood to be polite, nor was I in the ht he knewto tune him out when he said, “Your mother was an only child So, fro to her But you… You were never meant to be the Ceann na Conairte, as you people call it, because if you were, you’d be an only child too You should know this In fact, I’ headfirst into the wall like a bloody idiot is beyond me…unless you enjoy the pain”

His gray eyes looked down athead first into that wall again—”

Ihow they looked atto die today?”

“No, I’ if you are tired of option one”
