He looks at me in the same way that Dane does. One that says he can see deeper than what’s on the surface. A look full of curiosity and intent. It’s unsettling, I didn't want anyone but Dane to look at me that way.
“Thank you for the invitation. But I won’t be coming with you. I may share a surname and blood with Serkan, but that is all. He isn’t my family. He could have had a chance and he didn’t bother. You can tell him that.”
“He likely won’t take it very well.” Silas tells me
“I’m not taking it well.” I snap. “You told us that the people of White Cliffs need someone to follow. Not that they want to, that they need it or all hell breaks out. Serkan is only interested now that I’ve developed my abilities and because he is old. Where was his interest five years, ten years, twenty years ago? Oh right, he wasn’t ready.”
Maybe I was being a little irrational. Maybe my hormones were making me extra snappy. But I was not letting this grandfather that I have never met try to dictate what or where I should be in life. I had figured it out so far and he was not the one who helped me.”
“He has his reasons.” Silas tells me
“And I have mine. You said it was an invitation. I am rejecting it.”
I grab my damp clothes and head towards the door. I could tell by Danes' footsteps that he was right behind me.
Silas doesn’t follow us as we make our way back to the car. Launching my damp clothes into the back seat, I pull the fluffy robe around me tightly and sink into the front passenger seat.
Dane rests an arm on my open door. “I’m not changing my mind.” I frown
“Okay.”
“I will tell the boys what I know and when only they are old enough. Then, if they want to, they can explore it. Right now, I refuse to be forced into something because of someone else's expectations and desires.”
“That’s fair.”
“You're not going to tell me I should take him up on his offer?” I knew he wanted me to find out more for the boys. Particularly Evrin.
“You know I have wanted you to consider it. You have, I won't push it anymore and at least then you won't be anywhere near Silas.” His eyes burn into mine. “I saw the way he looked at you. He is lucky he still has a set of eyes.”
“I will never belong to anyone else.” I mutter

Next chapter??? Must know what happens!!...
These new chapters ate shorter than paragraphs. Makes reading this story quite annoying at the moment...
So... after 546 now what? I know this cannot just be the end of the story? So when is there a new chapter? I've literally read this in 4 days!...
Hi, I’m usually a silent reader, and first of all, I love the story, but is it possible to avoid the blue texts? Cuz a lot of us are missing a lot of the story due to the texts not loading. I am missing a lot no matter have many times I try to reload. If not, that’s okay as well. Thank you for the amazing entertainment and content...
Loving this story! Can’t wait for you to add more 😁...
Is it just me or are the blue text not loading and every other time I try the captcha it pops up a new tab? Other than that live the story...
I love this book!!!...

I love the way you are continuing the story. It's easy to follow, easy to pause, and easy to get back on track with. Me having three little children, it's hard to find "me time" but when I do I get caught up with this book. I love it!!!!...
