You think I dont know pain? Puck shook his head at me. Or loss? Ive been around a lot longer than you, prince! I know what love is, and Ive lostmy fair share, too. Just because we have a different way of handling it, doesnt mean I dont have scars of my own.Name one, I scoffed. Give me one instance where you haventMeghan Chase! Puck roared, startling me into silence. I blinked, and he sneered at me. Yeah, your highness. I know what loss is. Ive loved thatgirl since before she knew me. But I waited. I waited because I didnt want to lie about who I was. I wanted her to know the truth before anything else.So I waited, and I did my job. For years, I protected her, biding my time, until the day she went into the Nevernever after her brother. And then youcame along. And I saw how she looked at you. And for the first time, I wanted to kill you as much as you wanted to kill me.
