"He is trying to protect his people, Grey" / "As am I"
“Rhen,” I say quietly. I shift toward him.
He flinches and staggers back a step.
The movement is so unexpected that I freeze. Only then do I realize that the tightness of his jaw, the rigidness of his body is not fury and anger.
It’s fear.
(A heart so fierce and broken - chapter 50)
