Status Updates From Ashborne: Defiance

I stared. Gazed. Hungered. Wanted. 

And I fought.

Under the table, I hung onto the seat of my chair for dear life, nails scraping in the wood, reminding myself over and over that she was not for me.🙄

✨ Found family ✨especially with the dragons 🐉❣️🐉

‘Don’t let the males dismiss you.’
🤩❤️🤩

I was beginning to think my dragon liked Grace more than he liked me.🤪🐲😍

She was in pain. She was exhausted. She’d been looking for reassurance. And now she was afraid. Of me.

Dear God, I’d been an ass👍😤🤬

She is happy, giggling...But----
But as I laughed and scanned the table, I caught the dark gaze of Voski, staring at me through strands of black hair, his eyes as black as his leather.
...and she stops to smile...😏😩😐😿

Still frustrated with the hero 😤 😒 he just doesn't care or protects her....

“Do you know why he hates me?”

“He doesn’t hate you, Grace. He’s unhappy. And Voski just doesn’t want to be around anyone when he’s unhappy.”
😡 H is an huge asshole

He never smiled. Which made me desperately sad, though I had no right to. He’d been very clear.🤔🙄😤

Femininity and strength in a woman among men was intoxicating.
🤪

Hero's emotional abuse 😢
constant criticism, gaslighting, control, and creating fear....😬😡🤮

I blinked and blinked and blinked, cursing myself for the hurt that he found my presence so irritating
😡still not sure about the hero
