Halo didn’t like his question, but it was one forged by concern, and she didn’t want to judge him for something like that. Cotl was one of precious few that had seen the damaged creature behind the mask. Or, what had been a mask at that time. Itachi had taken a toll on his mother both before and after birth, and Cotl had seen what she hadn’t wanted anyone to see. But it was okay, the Triarii realized. It was okay that he had seen the less attractive, vulnerable side of her. Since he was still here, it had to mean that he really was her friend. Even if she thought she could take on the world alone, the thought was reassuring. ”I take care of myself.” she announced, though not with bile in her voice. She really was okay this time.
Lips parted to reveal the sharp edges of pearly teeth as the man jumped straight to the topic her mind had cursed him for. Halo would never admit this to anyone but herself, but she felt a sick sense of joy as the orange male spoke harshly of the bitch he had mistakenly taken as his mate. Yes, she wanted to say, how could you be so stupid to take such a whore as your mate. Halo could not fathom what could have led him to such a choice, but hmm, perhaps he had been lonely. She felt a surge of sadness on his behalf. Having so few to consider friends, Halo was in alien territory here, sitting with such a brutal and honest confession from this male. But she didn’t feel empty and indifferent as she thought she should have. It was reassuring.
The Triarii shifted her weight and shuffled closer to the male. How the fuck could he choose Talitha. Fingers slowly rose to touch the man’s back, carefully, as she had no clue if he would accept physical contact right now even if she meant to comfort. She wasn’t a warm individual and he knew that, but it would be wrong to rise to her feet and walk away from this. She wanted to dig for details, though abstained. ”She doesn’t deserve someone like you, you know.” she said, realizing that these words, even if they were meant well, sounded harsh as they passed her dark lips. But this was true. Talitha should have stayed the fuck away from any friend of Halo’s. If Halo’s cousin’s own mate admitted that she was a whore and liar, then it definitely had to be true. A bitch, whore, liar and a fucking traitor.
