"You have not proven yourself worth listening to," Rowan said harshly.
I flinched a little at his tone. Even though this wasn't something out of the ordinary, I still couldn't keep myself from being surprised by the harsh tone. It was almost as though my non-existent wolf still hoped that things would change, even though the human side of me knew that this was a harder task than spinning straw into gold.
"Not everything I do is an escape attempt!" I snapped back. For some strange reason, I felt the back of my eyes burning. I blamed this moment of weakness on my exasperation. "If I were truly trying to escape, don't you think that I would've been a bit more discreet?"
