easy, but I was mad.

“Why Devin? Why didn’t you save me? Why didn’t you claim me? When I wanted my fated to come and rescue me, to take

my pain away. I prayed so hard the goddess answered, but you weren’t

willing.

“Why now? Do you hate Sylvester so

much that you want to hurt him the worst way ever!” I said, and he shook his head, tears streaming down his face, looking
