The Cost of Obedience

Dalia POV

Goddess, I hate that ba**ard. I wish I had killed him instead of Noelle. Watching him be so cruel to Soren has my stomach churning. I'm hoping he will follow me and not take his anger out on Soren. "Mommy, why is daddy being so mean to Soren," Lucian asks as soon as we get in his room.

My son is so sweet and nothing like that monster he shares DNA with. I bend down and cup his cheeks.
