"I thought she was behind me," Hope retorted, trying to justify her actions from earlier. Why did Jedrek or Torak even blame her? "I was running after Chiron, who was brining away Lilac with him."
Torak closed his eyes to control his temper. It was easy to snap at someone when he couldn't find anyone to blame on for what happened to his mate.
However, actually Torak knew this was not Hope's fault, it was already good enough that something bad didn't happen to her when she chased after Chiron and the devil didn't take her or Raine when there was no one there to protect them.
Yet, to see Raine in this condition again, he was very angry, angry at himself. Angry for not being able to be there when all she needed was his protection.
"What are you doing?"Torak didn't mean to snarl at Hope, but it was his beast's instinct, that he didn't like it when Hope moved closer and sat on the edge of the bed and was about to touch Raine.
