Grace’s POV
Cole looked at me as if I’d suddenly grown two heads. You could almost taste it in the air. His rage and frustration. It was unparalleled…
Well--- almost…
Because I felt my own anger rising. And my powers rose with it. I felt it all around me. Inside me. Rushing through my blood. Licking up my skin.
It was almost too much…
“You can’t---!”
“I can’t WHAT?” I bellowed, cutting Cole off before he could get any bullshit started. I was so sick and tired of him controlling my life. Being the center of all of my fears and doubts. Being the dark voice in my head always telling me how I wasn’t good enough…
Well, it was about damn time they all knew the truth!
“I was supposed to be your mate, but you rejected me,” I growled, stepping forward--- and for once didn’t feel an inkling of shame accompanying that statement. He rejected me out of blind bigotry and fear. He was the one who betrayed our bond and turned his back on the gift their Moon Goddess gave them.
