Cried Quote by Sherrilyn Kenyon
““Having seen what he could really do today, she realized something. The fact that he hadn’t tracked Aksel and Arast down and killed them long before now for what they’d done to him … that was much more a testament of his character than what he’d done in the hangar bay. Regret tore through her. I’m so stupid. She’d seen his kindness. The way he’d held her when she cried. The way he’d tended her in Syn’s apartment. He wasn’t a monster. He was a man who’d been battered by everyone in his life. I won’t be another one.””
