Chapter 270

• "I was born in a small town in Russia during winter, my mum always cursed the winter she brought me to the world and my dad made it a point to make me know that I am not his. I still don't know if I am his or not, it isn't relevant now anyway. My family was perfect."
• A sarcastic laugh followed his last statement and my heart tore for him feeling his overwhelming emotions through the bond, "Neglect was something I was used to. I don't know if they didn't know anything about parenthood or if they knew and decided that I wasn't worth the love they had to give. Anytime I saw them looking at me, I saw resentment and anger, those were the only two emotions people portrayed toward me. At home, at school which I had to leave very early, at the extra lessons held for us to practice our powers, it was all anger and resentment. Being tall and growing faster, you would think of me as the bully but I was the one being picked on. I was the one everyone had a problem with."
• "It's not your fault." I whispered rubbing his arms that were crossed over me, "You never deserved to go through that."
