“Everything okay?” Dag asks with a raised brow as he inclines his head towards the bar. Looking over my shoulder, I see my Mom standing by the door with one of her hands on her hip.
“It is now,” I murmur, taking my helmet from Dane’s hand and slipping it on.
“Okay then, let’s do this,” Ulrich says as he starts his bike and pulls away.
When we are all on the road, Dane squeezes my knee gently. “You okay?” I tighten my arms around his midriff and nod.
“Yes.” I still feel a sorrow deep in my soul, knowing that my own mother would threaten to expose me all because of greed. What is the matter with people? Is money the only thing that makes them happy? That is why being with the Elementals feels so right. I don’t see greed in any of them, and they genuinely care about each other.
My mother said that I must be crazy, and that I’m messing up my life. Well, the only thing that I’m sorry about is that I didn’t pull away from that life before now—a life of constant betrayal and conspiracy of being among traitorous people. I’d like to know that the people I’m dealing with are not trying to betray me. That lifestyle was sucking my very soul dry, and she thinks I made a mistake?
Only now that I’m among the Elementals, do I realize how very sad I was. How depressed I was in all the coldness that surrounded me. I’m a giving person. I thrive in helping others, but when I realized that they were only with me because of what they could gain, it killed all the joy I got in helping them.
“Thank you,” I murmur.
“For what?” I hear him ask.
“For finding me.”
