In spite of what Casey thought, I hadn’t allowed her to walk away from me lightly. In fact, I’d thought of nothing else since she’d left my hotel room two days ago. She’d caught me off guard, and in that moment, I simply hadn’t wanted to say or do anything that would upset her any more than necessary. She’d issued a challenge and instead of rising to it, I’d backed down and let her go. And I’d been beating myself up over it ever since. I didn’t know what the fuck was wrong with me. I’d never been the kind of man who gave up on anything, yet she was right when she said that I had. I’d given up on my country, my place in the royal family, my family, and even—fuck if this wasn’t the worst part—myself.

I hadn’t realized I’d been doing it until she pointed it out. It was like Anwar had taken more than the throne when he’d killed most of our family and taken over Limaj—he’d destroyed the essence of the man I’d been about to become eleven years ago. And I’d let him.

Motherfucker.

I wasn’t responsible for the terrible things Anwar had done, but I was responsible for how I’d let them impact me. Even now, knowing that Daniil was up to something that could possibly put Luke, Casey, and me, or all three of us in danger, I’d been reluctant to make a move. I used the excuse that it was safer to hang back and not out my identity since Daniil hadn’t seemed inclined to do it all these years, but deep down I knew I should have confronted him. Why hadn’t I?

The questions ate at me until I couldn’t stand it anymore.

I fished out my phone and sent Sandor a text.

Scott: I need to see you right away.

Swede: I can’t get away just yet. Give me an hour.

I put the phone down and paced until he got there.
