Maybe there was a little hint of anger there. I just wanted to know my stand with him.
My life at Moonshine, though unbearable, was predictable. I knew what I was supposed to be doing and when I was supposed to be doing it. I always knew people would come to my room to hit me. I knew the only food I was allowed was leftovers, if there was any. But here, the case was different, almost everything was a surprise. They spoke to me like I was one of them.
I had thought about it while I was alone. Pulling at every thread of conversation with Anker. He had said that I was the only one he had wanted to mark and maybe now that the contract was over with my brother, he would be willing to make another contract with me.
"Is that what you want? You want to make an heir for me, do nothing more?" Now I could hear his annoyance.
