Dmitri

Daelyn’s being irrational. She’s lost her mind if she thinks she can convince this guy I’m not the one he’s looking for. She’s pulling on every little strand she can find to validate her line of thinking, which is fucking delusional, too. Deep down, she knows that and her desire to cling to the notion that this man has never once lied to her baffles me.

This mystery enemy of mine has altered her brain chemistry with how he’s manipulated and used her over the years. It makes me want to skin him alive.

She’s standing as the barrier between me, Addie, and the man who’s terrorized her for a very long time. There isn’t a doubt in my mind that Daelyn would set herself on fire to keep those she loves warm. It makes her being manipulated that much worse. Besides, I don’t need her protection and it’s frustrating that she won’t back down with this. Maybe she’s played the part of protector for so long, she’s incapable of stepping out of the role.
