Chapter 39

• Charlotte Sanguinite POV:
• Terrence rubbed his hand over his face. “What are you talking about? Beruth told me that you up and left. You turned your back on your family.”
• “How would you know what happened?” I ask, my tone scathing. When didn't you bother writing to me or asking me what I was going through? I was tossed out of the compound in the middle of the night, just a few days after I turned fourteen. My father and my siblings threw me out at a time when predators would be roaming the woods. They wanted me to die. But I survived. I will always survive. And now you’re here pretending to be clueless!”
