Cress POV
How dare that mortal being dare to deny me?
What did he see in that measly woman to desire her in the first place? Why isn’t my charm enough to compel him to forget that woman and focus on me?
His loyalty towards her was infuriating me. She became a hindrance of my path which I must eradicate. If she made my path hard, then she must be eliminated.
As long as she is here, I can't have him and I want that man enslaved in my domain. I want to capture him and steal him from the world.
I want Ace Solis.
