Kitori resumed her scrubbing but was far less enthusiastic now, and eventually picked up the brush to continue her work.<span style="color: #a64dff">"Nobody hurt me in my stables, people left me alone and let me work in peace. Now my own mate wants anything to do with me, I failed him and now he knows how weak I am. If I could go back home I could show him that I'm still okay, I can still take care of our children." </span>She frowned at Lorna and shook her head.<span style="color: #a64dff">"Sharindia can't tell between a good wolf and a bad one, she just sees two animals and wants to kill them both. She probably wants to kill you too, just slower since she doesn't have to use magic."</span><br/><br/><span style="color: #8000ff">"Not your property, Elerona owns me and she promised to kill me. You need to take me back so my suffering can end. You can't make me yours, I'll never belong to anyone else and I certainly won't love you." </span>She frowned as Ophidian continued to speak and shook her head, but when she realized she couldn't lie she kept quiet. Rayne pushed the food away and tried to get out of the bed.<span style="color: #8000ff"> "Then I won't throw this at you, but I'm not going to eat it. Elerona will come for me when she realizes I'm gone and she'll want her property back exactly as she left it."</span>Rayne looked around the room and tried to bolt for the door but as soon as her foot touched the ground she cried out in pain and collapsed on the floor. She slowly curled up and gripped her belly.<span style="color: #8000ff">"If you know so much about me... why did I throw my baby girl away? I loved her and was so happy to have her. What happened? I would have never hurt a child, especially my own. I... I... just want to love someone and have them love me back, I don't understand myself. Before I met Ras I was never violent... no, before I had Kitori I was never violent."</span><div class="messageTextEndMarker"> </div>
