'Join my faction,'
Malakai walked down the hill where his manor was situated, his thoughts churning.
Seconds ago, the second pulse of the sanguine clan, Marissa, had just asked him to join her faction.
Without so much as thinking, Malakai had blurted out a 'no'. But as he walked through the forest surrounding his manor, even he couldn't help but reflect on his actions.
'I acted on emotions.' Malakai admitted.
He had been betrayed on numerous occasions by those who were supposed to show him love. After his parent's death, Malakai had to learn the hard way how life in the clan worked.
The second pulse offer had brought out those memories which instantly closed off his heart and he refused her offer without even thinking about it.
'Hmm.' Valentine's voice suddenly sounded in his mind. 'Well when you think about it, are you really going to take that risk?'
