Chapter 236

• Kylan
• I let out a surprised laugh, even if I didn’t mean to. I didn’t know what was funnier, that she had called herself a failing mother, or that she thought she might still have something to offer after I had already ruined everything.
• She was the woman who gave birth to me. My mother, and not just mine, but Lyperia’s mother. I had always been desperate for her love, and I still was. I remembered how relieved I had felt when I saw her standing with Violet at the feast. Even more when I bumped into her in the halls and she didn’t look at me with that same coldness I had learned to get used to.
