Beatrice took a deep breath. They really made her life sound like shit, especially when they held it up against what it could be. “You really just don’t don’t want things. I don’t want handouts. And I especially don’t want pity friends. I had my own place until I was kidnapped and brought here. I had that, yeah, wasn’t great, but paid the bills.

“You really think that’s a good life?” Ashcliff laughed. “You are so difficult to get along with that you only have a singular friend. Your mother want

nothing to do with you and only puts up with your antics because of parental obligation. Can you truly say you have a good life?”

Beatrice’s hands were clenched on her lap, nails digging into her palms as she fought the need to jump up on the table and give these fuckers a qui introduction to her foot. Or her fist. Or a chair. Literally anything would do. And how had he learned about the ins and outs of her relationship with mom? “Why are you under the impression any of that bothers me?,” she finally managed to ask after a lengthy silence spent refning in her temper. were wolves. They would eat her alive if she physically attacked them. Tweedledick’s warning was still ringing in her ears. If she valued her life, she behave.
