A Cruel Mercy

RONAN'S POV

The ride home felt like torture. I stared out the window, watching the world blur by, but all I could see was Sienna’s face, twisted in anger and hurt. The words she had thrown at me replayed in my mind on a loop, each one cutting deeper than the last. I had tried to protect her, to keep her safe from this life, but instead, I’d pushed her away. Now, it felt like I’d lost her for good.
