As I approached the home I hadn’t returned to in years, my entire body tensed as my power begged me to let loose. It felt my defensive attitude and tension. It wanted to defend me. If I had been this powerful those many years ago, Colliard wouldn’t have had the opportunity to hurt me.

I could have missed the meeting today and joined Gray and Athens at my mom’s house. I wasn’t positive I could handle my mom’s somber looks and Gray discovering the drastic contrast between the two of us though.

The truth was, I was ashamed. I was embarrassed because, many years ago, I hadn’t stood up to my father. I had been powerful enough, yet every beating had left me feeling powerless. Every time he hit me, I remembered that if it wasn’t for him, I wouldn’t have even been alive. He told me it was a parent’s right to treat their kid how they saw fit. Why did he see beating me as a solution? I hadn’t been a bad kid. My disappointments ranged from an occasionally failed test to not attending a meeting my father wanted me to. Normal kid shit. Apparently not though.

Touch was hard for me. I understood Gray’s aversion to it. I trusted her and my twin though. When they touched me, it didn’t make me uncomfortable. I hoped that I could help Gray heal enough that she felt similar. Although, despite my heartache and abuse, I knew she had survived worse.

It wasn’t that I discounted my pain, but rather, that I knew I could be strong like her. I sighed and approached the massive marble stairs that seemed to mock me. I had a feeling of how my father had grown to have such a luxurious house, but I wasn’t going to like it. Fury at the possibility of him committing anything that could hurt our kingdom, Gray’s kingdom, would push me to an edge I wasn’t ready to jump off of. I was always there though. I was always on the edge of jumping.

No servants greeted me at the door. It didn’t surprise me in the least that my father wouldn’t have prepared for our meeting. I strolled through the ostentatious halls toward his office. I knew security would have warned him of my arrival. I rose a hand to knock on the familiar red oak doors.

“Come in!” A deep voice demanded, making me flinch. I cursed myself internally. I was much larger than my father now. I was also more powerful. This shouldn’t be a fucking issue.

“Father,” I kept my face blank as I strolled in, and stopped behind the chairs that faced his office. It was a small office and he liked it that way. He thought it made him seem larger. I wasn’t sure it was effective.

My father smirked and looked up at me from his paperwork, “Ah, I see you actually listened to one of my requests.”

I rose a brow, “You asked to see me and I had an opening.
