Aftereffect

<p>Micha Kessler Prince of Ashen Springs bully and devil in disguise.</p><p>We were the Knights the future leaders of the Order of Ravens and Wolves. Each born into privilege and power. We could have anything and anyone we wanted. </p><p><br></p><p>And I wanted Riley Adams. </p><p><br></p><p>That pigtailed little brat slapped me in the park. She thought she could handle me. That I was just an entitled prick who got my kicks taunting her. She should've listened to the rumors paid attention to the warnings...not that it would've mattered. </p><p><br></p><p>Her fate was sealed the day she came up to me looking for her damn dog. </p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p>Hate wasn't a strong enough word for how I felt about Micha. I could handle his taunting words and cruel jokes but he decided to up the ante. Trap me lock me in a cage and throw away the key. </p><p><br></p><p>But the thing about a cornered animal is that they eventually turn feral desperately clawing around for a way out. Even the devil had a weakness. </p><p>I just had to maintain my sanity long enough to find his and hope that I didn't lose something I couldn't get back in the process. Because there's a fine line between love and hate...and that line is starting to blur. </p>
