My eyes scanned the guest room that Damon and I would be staying in. The room wasn't screaming luxury, but it was modest enough for an Alpha.
I sighed before I threw myself on the bed. Being here was like a thorn in my flesh, even though they were not my real family and I was not their real daughter. But I could see most of Ember's memories, especially how she was maltreated and abused. All her lonely cries and the shame she carried.
'Was it really a crime to be an Omega?' Tears trickled from the corner of my eyes.
I didn't know what exactly Damon was thinking when he brought me here. Not when he knew how I was maltreated by them. Sold and betrayed by my own family, why would I go back to them?
It's just that I can't push away the foreboding feeling that Maddie is planning something for me. I had talked back to her—something the real Ember could not do, and from her memories, I knew why she didn't.
