Savage Satisfaction
“Mirela watched Christoffer march, his head low, arms hanging. She’d expected him to return laughing and smiling—he’d been allowed outside—but he hadn’t returned in triumph.
Something had gone wrong.
She wanted to ask but she was afraid she’d say something to make it worse. Since coming here almost nothing she did or said was right.
It was the collar. She traced its now familiar pattern with her fingertips. How she hated it. The presence of the collar made her anxious.
She knew that if she could just get it off she would do or say the right things and then the lord wouldn’t be angry at her.
Every time she saw his bandaged face she wanted to throw up.
Had there been more space for her to fly she would not have missed and he would now be lacking a right eye.
She never did anything right but the wolf, it seemed, could do no wrong.
Late into the night, after Lord William had locked Christoffer in again, they would sit up talking. At first Mirela had stayed awake, sitting in the corner of h...er cage to be close to them, but they so pointedly ignored her she’d given that up.MoreLess
