The men wanted to know who was coming. OnlyÉAdara couldn't answer because she didn't know. She remembered very little of the experience after she entered he circle other than the fact it hurt.
Severing her tie to Titus and Logan hadn't been painless. But it wasn't horrible. The true agony came after.
What of that moment of elation?
Had it even happened? Right after the ties binding her to the men were severed, she'd felt something in her come alive. A moment of joy as her heart and soul flared bright. It didn't last long.
Something interfered. I see you.
The ominous words before a new round of agony, fear, and primal terror. Now that it was over she couldn't have said what happened. The only thing she did emerge with was a certainty she'd messed with something she shouldn't have.
He knows I'm alive.
Who that he was she'd yet to figure out but given the stone in the pit of her stomach, it couldn't be good.
