Happy Friday! You know what that means – It’s time for another excerpt from The Insurgent, and today’s is from Declan’s POV. Do we trust him? Should we not?
After passing more of the shallow vessels impersonating humans, I finally reached my office, swung open the door and halted. Hairs rose on the back of my neck.
I was afraid to move a muscle.
To even breathe.
Casually leaning against my desk, ankles crossed, was a dangerous predator. He watched me intently. Muscles rippled in his forearms as he flipped a silver dagger in one hand.
It was Asher. But it wasn’t.
Sure, Ash had killed before, but it was to save hostages or in self-defense. He’d never outright murder anyone with no justification. But I sensed the creature in front of me was on a wholly different level. To him, killing was the same as eating or sleeping. It was routine, a part of life, something he did every day. And didn’t think twice about.
A36 stood before me.

Yay! I’m thrilled to hear you say that, Priscilla, because I struggled with the ending. Some characters told me exactly what would happen, while others were less decisive. And thanks for writing a review!

Thanks, Diana! This is Declan, but Asher’s POV was last Friday. It’s funny how you scroll through images and suddenly there’s your character.

Oh. Lol. I knew the pov wasn’t Asher but I thought the photo was. Lol. I have all these mental pictures in my head already from the first book. I picture Declan as more compact in his build. Isn’t that funny?
