"Did Razeal really try to rape Selena?"
Nancy's voice cut through the still air like a blade. Her eyes narrowed, locking directly onto Riven.
She wasn't even sure why she asked the question. The words had just… slipped out.
Maybe it was because Razeal arrogant, cold, and irritating as he often was.. had saved her when no one else had. Maybe it was because he had been the one to tell her about her supposed fate, the one who spoke of destiny as if he had already seen its ugly face.
And now, with Riven mentioning Razeal's rebellion.. how defying fate had supposedly made his destiny worse she couldn't shake the feeling that there was more to it. Something twisted and hidden beneath the surface.
She didn't even know why she expected Riven to know the answer. He was a Preserver, a being beyond mortals, beyond human politics or personal grudges. Still, her heart had already asked the question before her mind could stop it.
