I ignored him, even as my heart broke, even as I knew that he hadn’t meant to say it- “Do it,” I begged the king, even as I silently prayed he wouldn’t notice his ruined wards, the door I’d left wide open. I stormed to the king, knees barking as I dropped to the floor before his throne. The queens had fallen back, their guards forming a wall between us. One last game-this was one last game we were to play together. “How did you do it, Feyre?” There was so much blood on him. But the tears vanished-became sorrow for Cassian as she turned a hateful, horrified face to Rhysand and spat, “What did you do to that girl?” “I don’t want to go back.”Īnd when I looked at Mor, at the tears streaming down her face as she helped Cassian get upright, I knew she realized what I meant.
