LOGINI knew, in his own way, Teacher was just trying to cheer me up.“Well, let me know if that changes,” he said. “I’m always happy to bring villains to justice.”“He’s not a villain just because he lost interest in me,” I said.“He is, because he’s hurting you every day you are apart,” Teacher said.My
Lillian’s POVAfter moving into Josie’s room, I spent most of my waking hours out in the training ground, striking at the training dummies or shooting arrows down the range. There hadn’t been as many people coming to see Teacher and me about training. I tried not to read too much into it, but it was
Lillian’s POV“This isn’t necessary,” Grayson said. “You are being too emotional about this. You are overreacting.”“Stop saying that!” I snapped and pulled my arm away from his grasp. I continued packing, quicker than before. If I hadn’t been certain about leaving before, I was definitely sure now.

Grayson’s POVI should have known not to trust Lillian. Every time I felt like I could confide in her, I was shown another reason to keep her at a distance.Yes, our sex had been out of this world. She tasted like the most tantalizing candy. And at the same time, I wanted to hold her and care for he
Lillian’s POVGrayson was better at blocking the words of the naysayers than I was, and the words hurt. I knew I didn’t deserve a prince. I knew he had been kind to me, saving my life and Ronan’s life, and I knew, soon, he would drop me just as the vicious woman had said.But that didn’t mean she ha
