*Eliza*
“I do not want or need your help, Eliza.” Jared snarled my name and pulled away from me.
My hand dropped limply at my side. “This isn’t you, Jared. What happened? Why are you acting this way?”
“What do you mean?” He glanced over his shoulder, arching an eyebrow.
“You’re so… mean… this isn’t you!”
“You’re so sure that you know who I am?”
“Of course, I know. We’re married, you’re my mate, the father of my child…” I looped my arms around myself, an unconscious smile tugging at my lips.
“Well, I’m sorry to disappoint you, but you really don’t know me at all. You really don’t belong here either, Eliza!”
I put my hands on my hip and narrowed my eyes at Jared.
He glared right back and we were silent for some time.
“Where do I belong, then?” I asked. “If not with you, then where?”
“You misunderstand. It isn’t just with me that you don’t belong, it is in this realm. You shouldn’t be in the Dark Realm at all!”
