Gentle Chains (The Eleyi Saga book 1)
“I tilt my head back, letting the heat of the sun wash over me. Catelyn stalks past, not bothering to contain her fury. “For a girl as favored as you, you sure are bitter,” I say and she jerks around.
“You are nothing!” she hisses. “You think you are special, because you have the Ja’s favor? You mean nothing.”
I laugh, unamused. “Do you think so? Because I was sure that beating was a sign of his long-lasting favor.”
I push past her and begin walking toward the dining hall and Jemes.
“They hate y...ou,” Catelyn calls and against my will, I look back. “The Eleyi? They hate you for your violence.”
I want to shrug off her words. Why does it hurt so much to hear her say what I already know? I can’t let myself care what they think—not if I want to live. I force myself to smile. “Here’s the thing, Catelyn. I don’t give a fuck what they think. I’m willing to do what I have to do to survive. That’s what matters, not the Eleyi way of life, and certainly not what fodder think.”MoreLess
