Chapter 50

KAEL.

We'd been driving for almost two hours, and Adessa had fallen asleep. She was tired from all the running and hiding she'd been doing these past few weeks, so I let her sleep while I did my best to keep myself awake.

I could take my sleep once we were on our way to the north. For now, I needed to get us as far away from here as possible.

I was almost at the Bellouf Theme Park when my phone rang.

It startled Adessa. Adessa's hands flew out in the air as she gasped for breath. My hand went to her thigh, tapping it twice before rubbing it gently.

"I'm here..." I mumbled loudly enough for her to hear while the phone continued to ring.

She turned her head in my direction, and when she saw me, it was only then that her shoulders relaxed, and she sank back into her seat.

I smiled at her before I spoke. "Rasmus is calling. You can go back to sleep."

She shook her head before she leaned her head to the window, crossing her arms across her chest, her eyes focusing on the dark road in front of us. "I want to listen."

I picked up the phone, pressed the speaker button, and placed it on the dashboard. As we had discussed, I wouldn't talk until he started by saying my name. "Kael..."

"Are they gone?" I asked.

"Yes, and those assholes are not investigators nor representatives from the King's Court."

"What do you mean?"

"They were Draco's men."
