“Don’t pretend I know you are not sleeping anymore” Jason hissed at me, and I wish he would just let me be.

I was unsure how much he had seen exactly, or how he knew I was not asleep for that matter. All I did know was that it was unsettling that he knew. It shows me he was watching my every move, commenting on it without letting David know. It was confusing, not knowing why he was helping David. And if he really agreed with all that was happening here. At the moment, he seemed to be helping me. But most of the time it seemed as if he still hated me. Like I had actually done something to hurt his sister when it was the Moon Goddess who fated me to David. In

“Why are you doing this Jason, you’re awfully loyal to the man who made you, your fated mate, and your sister’s life miserable. Or did enjoy being rejected, because of what the Birches told you to do? So I might be pretending to sleep to get a little more rest. You are supporting. the man who is hurting your sister every day. So maybe it is you pretending you are pretending to love your sister. Because neither of my siblings would ever let anyone do this to me.

To his credit, Jason did get mad at me, but he managed to keep it in. He was balling his hands in fists and I expected to see the claws grow from his hand. But none of that happened. He swallowed harshly and then turned his attention back to me.

“You speak a lot for someone who is so out of touch with what is happening here. But you have always been, haven’t you, Ayla? The wonderful Ayla Hemming, the untouchable Ice Queen, does not interact with anyone but her family and two best friends. Who always got everything she ever wanted without knowing any struggle in her life. And now that you are finally struggling, it is still over the backs of others.” He snarled at me, the growing tension and the voices getting louder woke David up.
