~Thane~
I raised my head to face my father as another slap landed on my face. I tasted blood on my lips and wiped it with the tip of my thumb. “You are so useless and not doing what I asked you to,” he yelled as he grabbed the collar of my clothes. “I told you to report anything going on with your sister, but instead, you stayed silent, and now she is suffering,” he yelled at me, his spit hitting me on the face.
I turned towards Illyana, sitting on the couch in her room, staring at me. Unlike before, I expected that she would have stopped our father from hitting me, but instead, she flicked her eyes away, lips twitching like she was planning something. She had been the one to report to our father about the human princess, but she had left the mate part out of it for selfish reasons.
