Chapter 24 

My mind flicked to Kalen in this vulnerable state. I could take his power and escape, but I couldn’t do it for some reason. It would be so easy, but I felt like I would condemn him if I did. The floor creaked as I heard three sets of feet step into the room. I could smell the buzz of electricity as a portal opened u p. I glanced over my shoulder to see Darius, Tobias, and Lycus step into the room.

“How did you find him?” he demanded like I was the one that brought him here.

“I don’t know; I just found myself here. I don’t even know where I am, only that I was in some abandoned part of the castle,”

“What, you just stumbled across him?” Darius snapped and Lycus walked around Kalen and kneeled on the other side of him. He grips his shoulder.

“See, can’t you feel her?”

“She is right in front of you,” Lycus tells him.
