Silence reigned in the suite for the longest time, contrary to the turmoil I believed was going on in Kaeren's mind. He now paced about the room, his expression contorting from time to time as he tried to process the information he had just learnt.

I was dying to know, but I could only wait as he sorted his thoughts.
It would've been good to have Pia's support at a time like this, but she seemed to have been affected a lot. Her presence had grown smaller in my chest, perhaps due to the anticipation of rejection from our mate.

He hates me. I told myself.
Look at you, Waverly. You cannot even maintain something good. Aren't you an utterly cursed child?
