Angry Quote by Hanna Peach
““There was that damned word again. It was enough to wake him up a little more. “What’s so damned interesting?” “I have a theory about why your shield isn’t working.” “Enlighten me.” Israel tried not to snap. Jordan laughed. “Even half asleep you manage to find the energy to be angry.” Israel heard a low growl then realized it was coming from his own throat. He forced himself to take a deep breath. Through gritted teeth he said, “Please, oh great teacher of mine, tell me why you think my shield isn’t working.” “Your shield isn’t working, my dove, because there is a part of you that doesn’t want to be saved.””
