LOGIN“I’ll help,” I said, holding his gaze.He turned to face me completely.“I’ll do whatever I can to help you and your brothers,” I said.His Adam’s apple bobbed as he swallowed hard.For a long moment, he simply looked at me, as though he were seeing me for the very first time.I knew he wanted to sa
[Xanthea]‘Why do men think flowers can fix everything?’ Ruhna grunted.My hand instinctively rose to the flower crown resting on my head, shielding it.I didn’t know what to do with it, but I couldn’t let Ruhna tear it apart either.The venom of distrust had been corroding the bond between me and m
