Chapter 146

• Kavian’s POV
• I was taken away like a common criminal—dragged, insulted, and assaulted on the way to the dungeon by men who were far lesser than me. But I didn’t react, didn’t lift a finger to defend myself. Maybe because a part of me knew… I deserved this. I have done many bad things in my life, and perhaps this was the moon goddess finally choosing to punish me.
• Yes, through all the violence and raiding I had done with my brothers and father, I had never laid a hand on a woman, never harmed a child, never touched anyone with that type of cruelty. But I had seen our men commit such despicable acts… and I had not stopped them. So yes, I am just as guilty. That is why, when Rose asked me if what Damian said was true, I said yes.
