Chapter Eight

"What the fuck did you think you were doing?" Morgorth shouted again.

I sat huddled in several blankets on our bed, watching him pace in front of me. A cup of steaming tea was held between my hands, and my hands loved the warmth.

"I fucking thought I was saving two pups from becoming kellpy chow." I scowled. I had my voice back, and I was nearly warm enough to stop shivering. It was hard to argue when my very blood had nearly frozen.

"And nearly getting yourself killed because of it!" He stopped pacing, and stood in front of me, his hands clenched into fists, his body vibrating. His face was too pale, and his eyes were too dark.

"I had to--"

"You had to keep safe!"

"By the Hunter, Morgorth!" I screamed. I tossed the cup into the wall, and it shattered. I struggled out of the blankets, stumbling to my feet. "I am not some fucking child, and I won't have you treating me like one. I'm a warrior, Morgorth. This is my home. What did you expect me to do?"

"Oh, I don't know. Call for me!" He flung his hands in the air.

"Iger was tasked with finding you, and he did. But there wasn't any time to waste. I had it under control."

"You didn't have anything under control." He shoved into my face. "You were reckless, and you nearly got trampled."

"Reckless?" I let out a harsh laugh. "You're one to lecture about being reckless."

Morgorth grew paler. I grew resentful.

"Grekel came to me for help. Two puppies were in danger. It's my job to protect them."

"No, it isn't. It's your job to stay safe. This is my home, not--"

My gut clenched. He stopped talking. Morgorth looked away.

"Finish it," I whispered, my throat raw.

"No."

"Finish what you were about to say."

"No. Aishe, I didn't--"

"You were about to say that this was your home but not mine. Right?"

He backed away from me, looking at the floor. I saw shame in his eyes, but at that moment I didn't want to soothe. I didn't want to comfort. I wanted to hurt. I wanted him to feel what I was feeling at that moment.

"After everything... after those mages came here," I continued, my voice soft but cutting like a blade. "After I stood by your side, protected you from Dyrc. Protected you from their treachery. Cared for you when you were in the magick fever. Loved you. Was loyal to you." I paused. "After all that, what do you want from me? What do I have to do to prove that I belong here?"

His eyes shot to mine. "Aishe, my love, you do--"

"Do I?" I growled. He flinched. "Do I, Morgorth? You said yourself once that your world wasn't mine."

"I was wrong."

"You're right. You were wrong." I spread my hands. "Where is my home, Morgorth? If not with you, then where?"

"Aishe--" His voice broke.

"What do I have to do for you to accept me into your home? Your life?" At that moment I felt helpless, confused. Tired. "You still see this as your home.
