"Will you still not reconsider?" I decide to ask point-blank to Aiden.
The question makes him stiffen as we wander closer to the blue light. It does finally feel like we're making progress in the Foretell. At first, it felt like every step we took only pushed us back, but slowly, we're creeping towards the medallion.
"You don't understand, Mia." Aiden hesitates.
I pull at his arm, stopping the both of us. "Then make me understand, oh your Majesty."
"That's rather condescending, wouldn't you say?" Aiden rolls his eyes.
My wolf surfaces and I can't help but growl. Even she is losing her patience. We can't understand why Aiden wouldn't want to avoid the demise of his friends just to send me away — knowing full well that not only I would die, but Matthew, Alexander, and Wayan would too.
