Of course you came to see him as the center of the universe. He had unimaginable power over you. If he told you that summoning him was an insult, of course you agreed with him. How else could you survive? He never gave you a choice. He took all your choices away."
Her gaze flicks down to the cuffs on his wrists. "And he gave you pain and bondage and the treatment a man gives a recalcitrant hound to replace them."
