Lilith shook her head. "You don't understand. She's trying to save me...."
"Is she?" Sera challenged. "Or is she trying to save herself from losing the last piece of family she has left? Because those are two very different things, Lilith."
The words hit harder than Lilith expected and she felt something crack inside her chest. "I don't know who to trust. Everyone keeps lying to me. The Alphas lied about my father. My aunty is telling me I have to die. You're telling me my aunty might be wrong. And I'm just....I'm so tired of not knowing what's true."
Her voice broke on the last word and then the tears came....hot and overwhelming and absolutely unstoppable. She doubled over with the force of her sobs, her whole body shaking, and Agnes immediately pulled her into her arms.
"I've got you," Agnes murmured, rocking her gently. "I've got you, sweetheart. Let it out."
