BEN
"Ben, I wasn't expecting you to act in such a naive manner. What do you make of the words of a fae who is three hundred years old and whose senses have become dull?
I was still unable to comprehend Cedric's unwavering affection for the human thing that went by the name of Lana. I never expected love to be quite so insane that it would convince him that a human being can barely hurt an ant, even when he sees for himself how ineffective that belief is.
When he made that statement, it lit a fire in my chest.
How could he possibly refer to me as foolish simply because he had the intention of preventing a crime that was supposed to have been committed by his human thing?
It's possible that this humanoid thing we thought was just another human was actually a witch. It is likely that she cast a spell on Alpha Cedric, and if she did, it must be an extremely potent one.
