As Emery spoke, it felt as though all the blood had trained from Yuè's body. Panic began to set in.
The very man he and Gunter were speaking of was there, as if they had spoken him into existence.
He pressed himself closer to Gunter and away from the closed door, his heart thumping in his chest so hard he could feel it in his throat.
There was no doubt in his mind that their father was there for him. With the amount of trouble and attention Yuè had stirred by just being there, the slight against Lord Payton and the simple fact that Yuè had been proven to be human. How could he not be?
Yuè wondered what he would do to him. He wondered what other punishments would be served now that part of his secret was known.
Despite Gunter's assurances he didn't feel confident that he would walk away from any of this unscathed. He could be killed in an instant. Who would stop the King?
