But her silence, paired with the helpless gloom in her eyes, told me otherwise. She wasn't lying. She had planned the day of my demise even before bringing me into this world.

"How could you do this to me, Mother?" I mumbled, my voice trembling as my lips quivered. A silent sob escaped me. I didn't even know if I should call her 'Mother' anymore-not after hearing how cruelly she had condemned her own child.

A tear escaped my eye as flashes of my life flickered before me like a relentless movie reel. Memories played on repeat, and I wanted so badly to rewind to the part before I met Zander-before I fell in love.

That's why she was so insistent on me marrying the God of Destruction. It all made sense now-why she'd forced me to forget my family and mate, why she'd erased them from my life.
