“To keep you safe, to keep you from my father, and to give us enough time to prepare.”
“But you did see me completely naked,” I teased a little breathlessly.
The prince smiled, but it seemed forced. And then his eyes were suddenly moist and filled with tears.
He brushed a finger across my cheek.
“Goodbye, Elena,” he said softly.
Then he turned on his heel and walked back to the main entrance of the fortress.
At first I didn’t understand the way the prince had looked at me, or why he had tears in his eyes…
But then a lump formed in my throat, and I turned away.
Once Celeste was seated on a spare horse, I pulled myself onto Torak. All eyes were on me. The witches—my magical army—waited for me to lead the way.
I grabbed the reins proudly, kicked my heels into Torak’s flanks, and all one hundred of us rode off into the night.
I’m coming, Jon. Please wait…I’m coming…
