Chapter 12

• ELARIAN
• I was fiercely attracted to Aeros, in a way I preferred to consider a sexual attraction, but even I knew that it was much more than that. I just wasn't ready to admit it yet. Admitting to caring about a man who only saw me as an object for his own pleasure would have meant I was embarking on another journey that would only hurt me even more.
• Corey’s affair with Chloe only proved that I was the only one who had taken our relationship seriously. That's why I was the only one who ended up with a broken heart. I didn’t want to ever repeat that mistake with Aeros.
