<p>“Am I wrong?” he asked softly. </p>
<p>It took a moment for Ember to regain her composure, knowing that her next words were going to be a lie. “Of course you are wrong. How dare you accuse me of such things,” she hissed. “Do you think that I would have just allowed Reign to kill me without a fight?” </p>
<p>“I do not know what to expect of you,” William said with a shrug. “All I know is that every time you are around, you are distracting Adrian from our mission.” </p>
