Asher gently placed Thalia on the bed. “Rest, darling. I’ll see who it is.”

Sharp pain exploded across Drake’s face, his mind buzzing.

He staggered backwards, his body slamming against the corridor wall with a dull thud.

“Hah.” Contempt flashed in Asher’s eyes. “Drake, I gave you your chance. Three years ago, when Thalia got together with you, I convinced myself that as long as she was happy, I would step aside. But what did you do? How did you treat her?”
