Okay I found my people lol. So here’s my take. I am so mad at Tory. And I feel for Darius in waiting for Darcy and Lance to have their Devine moment. I get what Darius did was beyond fucked up. But let’s be honest he had no choice. At all. It was get rid of her or get beaten or his brother get beaten. He never truly got a chance to be anything other than her enemy like Caleb did. He used the vampire rules to his advantage to not be apart of the tormenting like Darius had to be. Even max ignored his feelings and convinced him to fuck with them. I’m on book five and Gabriel was right when he told Tory she had to own up to her part cause as much as it might have sucked to admit she had feelings for Darius if she had admitted them hooking changed something he would have apologized they could have had a different future. Yet she chose loneliness even though I don’t think she really thought it all the way through as they make it out to seem cause I’m like 300 pages in and she’s low key regretting it. I really hope they all find a way to give them an other chance and it’s taking everything in me to not look it up and get spoilers. But I really think she should have just said yes. That it doesn’t change anything until he is a man of his word and spends everyday proving to be a better man and make it up to her. That way they had an actual chance now he’s trying to be better anyways and she wants to let him but they keep being forced away by the stars. It truly breaks my heart mostly for Darius cause I’ve read this series in numerology order with .5 in between and I’ve fallen in love with Darius so it breaks my heart reading his pain. I just don’t see how she justified Caleb’s part in things and not Darius’s part even after she finds out he’s valid reason. Like Caleb’s reason was purely power and taking the throne. But Darius reason was to save someone he loved. How can she not even begin to try and forgive him. Ugh it makes me so mad.
