'You! I hate you.'
The words flashed across the screen with a kind of raw aggression that almost felt physical, like they had been thrown straight at her face instead of typed out behind a keyboard.
Seraphine didn't even flinch. Her fingers hovered for only a second before she responded, her tone cool, almost detached in contrast to the emotion pouring out of him.
'I'd be surprised if you didn't. But I'd love to know why.'
There was a pause this time. Not long, but long enough to feel intentional, like he was choosing his words carefully, or maybe just letting his anger build before releasing it all at once.
Then his reply came.
'I always had my eyes on you when I lived at the pack. I tried to get your attention a few times when we were teenagers, but all you ever talked about was Ravyn. I'm so glad he divorced you and turned you into a joke. And I heard from Daisy that they killed your child. Does it hurt?'
The air in the room changed instantly.
