I pace my dorm room, feeling like a lion in a tiny cage. I had just hung up with Indigo and waited for Salem to open the portal to take us to her. My heart ran around in my mind, fighting to control my emotions. I love Indigo, but there is a moral dilemma I was struggling to reconcile-how could I be mated to the woman who took my father from me? How could I raise a child with the woman who took my father?
Maybe I should reject her. The thought made me queasy with guilt, but I feel like it’s the only thing I can do. She refused to tell me why she had done it, and she even went so far as to command Cedar so he could not talk to anyone about her reason. If I rejected her, I would honor my father’s memory and free myself from the guilt of loving the woman who took him away.
