CHAPTER 39 Breakfast

  Macy POV

  Reluctantly I put on a baby blue gown and follow Nyx through the palace. I want to protest and refuse to come down for breakfast, but my curiosity keeps getting the better of me. This time, I don't focus on keeping my wings off the ground. I pay attention to the halls around me. If I am going to live here, I need to be able to find my way around. 

  After walking for what seems like hours, we finally step inside the dining room. It is fuller than I expected. My parents are there, along with Destin, Cassian, and Roland. There is no other seat for me to take except for the one beside Destin. His words from earlier are ringing loudly in my head, and my ears feel like they are on fire. 

  He jumps to his feet to pull out of my chair, and I glare in his direction. I don't want or need his help, especially not after this morning. Determined to play nice, I grind my teeth together and let him help me. His fingers glide between the feathers of my wings, and I shiver.
