“It doesn’t matter how far you run. I will have you to myself soon enough.” Ryker’s voice echoed through the forest.

I shivered. It was clear Ryker was insane.

Was this the reason why Lord Shevek didn’t want him close to me? Or was it something else?

I had no idea how I was able to find my way out of the maze. But when I did, I made a dash for my room. I ignored the curious looks I got from the maids.
