"Will you come?" I asked Maize, again, before she could answer, Siguan chimed in.
"Actually, Maize has work to do. It's going to be just us." He was staring at Maize.
My heart dropped a little and some of the fear that had been forgotten soon came back up. I waited for Maize to be her strong and independent self and tell him to screw off, but instead she just nodded, whispered goodbye and walked out of the room. I watched the door, hopping she'd come back in. In a few words, Siguan has managed to dismiss the strongest woman I knew.
I was left with a man who had all but forced me to be alone with him. I looked over and his face held nothing for me to decipher. I was beginning to think my luck just ran out.
**********
Jessa's true identity, and destiny, has been hidden from her ever since she was a little babe. She had no idea her background or even that her life held value to anyone other than her abusive "parents." She doesn't know the secret that hides within and that her family ties run deep and strong.
Siguan knows that Jessa is his mate. And not just that, but he knows who she is as a person and even her real name. But, when he finds her, he sees a young woman who is broken and in need of rebuilding. Will he teach her to trust? And more importantly, teach her to lead?
