ARIANNE POV
As we heard the sound of the approaching army in the woods, a wave of panic swept over us. We were already on edge, having been searching for Cyril and Rhea for hours. The thought of being caught in the middle of a conflict while our girls were out there somewhere, alone and vulnerable, was unbearable.
"What the fuck?" Tag'arkh mouthed at me.
Yeah, what the fuck was right! What the fuck were doing in my kingdom? You'd have thought the heartless bastard would have forgotten about me and given up seeing as it has been weeks now! But I should have known that Azar was one persistent son of a bitch! I should have strangled him as a kid when I had my chance.
I curse myself for being so sympathetic to people! Glad that trait wasn't passed on to my children. Well maybe Caeden but Cyril, I know she won't have time for any of the sentimental bullshit.
I know that cause I'm a victim!
