A Reborn Bride Pearl Emerging from Dust by Sally Garcia

Just when Calliope was still lost in thought, the door suddenly flew open with a forceful kick.

Gabriel nearly fell flat on his backside.

Gideon, who was writhing in pain, forgot all about his broken leg at the sudden commotion.

Fleur instinctively turned her gaze toward the door.

A shadowy figure loomed at the entrance, emanating a chilling aura. His eyes, cold as ice, surveyed the room.

When his gaze landed on Calliope, the knot in Silas's throat finally loosened.

But still, worry gnawed at him, fear clawed at his insides. He had gathered his crew to find her, his heart in his throat every step of the way. The mere thought of her getting hurt, even a scratch, terrified him.
