Chapter 44 Grievance
CA SSANDRA
As Adalyn continued to glare daggers in my direction, I turned to look at
Finnick.
“Did you lay a hand on Prince Marco?” I asked as evenly as I could possibly manage. Finnick took a moment and then shook his head.
“I didn’t do anything,” he said quietly, but his expression told a different story. Finnick tended to glance down at the ground when he was lying, and he’d done just that a moment ago. So, I took a breath and repeated myself.
“Finnick, this is serious,” I said in a much sterner tone. “I want the truth. Did you lay a hand on Prince Marco?”
Finnick took a moment of pause, and then he nodded.
“Sort of,” he admitted. “But it was just a light push, Mommy. And Marco hit me
first-”
“Prince Marco,” Adalyn corrected him through bared teeth, and then she rushed over to us. She seemed as if she were going to sn atch my son away, but held firm. and lifted him up before she could do anything.
I glared at Asher’s wife as she stopped in front of us. No one, royal or not, was going to lay a single finger on my son.
“I’ll take my son and leave-” I started to say, but as I turned to move, Adalyn’s hand clamped down on my shoulder.
“I’ll tell the Alpha King,” she spat. Her nails dug into my skin, but the pain didn’t matter. I was in protective mode and my only concern was my son.
“Tell him whatever you like,” I retorted, and I yanked my shoulder away with
impressive force. “But I’ll be taking my son away now.”
Prince Marco began to wail.
“My father is going to punish you!” he cried, and he pointed his finger at Finnick. “You’re going to be in trouble!”
Finnick opened his mouth to speak, but I shushed him immediately. I didn’t wait for Adalyn to dismiss me. I simply turned and rushed right out of the room and into the busy hallway. I walked as quickly as I could with Finnick in my arms, and I held him tightly against me.
