"I trusted you!" The words were tumbling out of my mouth faster than I could stop them.
I knew that I shouldn't be spilling my secrets like this, especially not to Soren Hadeon of all people, but there was an invisible force that seemed to claw the words out of me. Against my better judgment, I continued to spew my true feelings.
"Why didn't you tell them that the dress was a gift? I didn't take that dress― you gave it to me!" I cried out. "But you just stayed quiet and watched as they blamed me for things I didn't do. You didn't say a word, when really just a word from you could've prevented them from doing anything."
"I―" Soren stammered.
I didn't think I would ever see him so lost for words. If anything, Soren Hadeon always knew what the right thing to say was. He was the calming balm to Rowan's frosty attitude and Cassian's exuberant energy. Or at least, that was how they were to everyone else in the pack.
