I don’t think so.
The longer I sat there, the angrier I got.
How dare someone take a private moment and splash it across the internet? What gave them the right to do such a thing?
If it was just me, I wouldn’t care. But to involve a man whose only crime was loving me was something I couldn’t condone.
No.
To hell with this jackass.
If he thought his actions would make me crumble and fade away into the darkness, he had another thing coming.
I was a Never.
And Never’s never gave up.
Getting to my feet, I walked to the mirror over Scribe’s dresser and took a good look at myself.
Seeing the glasses on my face, I grinned.
“The first step is always the hardest.”
With my mind made up, I left his room and headed downstairs to find Scribe’s sisters sitting with my sister and the other women.
Head held high, I marched over when Phoebe smiled and asked, “You sure you want to do this? He doesn’t care about your glasses, Henley. He loves you just the way you are.”
That stopped me short.
I hadn’t said shit. I knew Scribe and the others warned me that his sisters were different. I didn’t know they were also mind readers, but seeing the look on her face, I knew she knew what I was about to do.
“Yes.”
Athena got to her feet before walking over to me, wrapping her arm around me. “About time, sister.”
“What’s going on?” Devlyn asked, turning to look at me.
Seeing my sister with a bloody nose only made me angrier. My whole life, Devlyn had been my champion, the one who took all my fears and worries head-on. She was a fighter, always protecting me. No more. It was time for me to stand on my own two feet.
Taking the bull by the horns, so to speak, I clearly spoke, “I’m done hiding.”
“What do you mean by that?” Bailey asked, rising slowly from her chair.
“I’m getting that damn surgery to fix my eyes. Then I’m going shopping. I’m tired of all the whispering, the comments, the sly looks. Mostly, I’m tired of living my life behind a mask. It’s time I showed this town who I really am.”
“And who are you?” Freyja asked, grinning.
“I am Henley Never, Devlyn’s sister and Scribe’s woman.”
“About fucking time.” My sister smiled warmly up at me.
“What are we going to do, because we can’t leave? King ordered all of us to stay put,” Skylar admitted.
“Where are they?” I asked, looking around the large room.
“In church,” Bailey said, rolling her eyes. “Been in there for a while, doing manly things, to use Cameron’s words. Why? What do you need?”
“Time. I need you to give me time.”
