Chapter 44: The Past Returned
Friday arrives faster than I want it to. The banquet is tomorrow night and there’s no way to know if Sebastian will come.
As Alpha, Ambrose has a way of speaking to his pack without saying a word aloud.
The message was sent a few times: The ball at the end of the week is to honor the prince and the true king.
A deliberate antagonization that was sure to hit its mark.
Although, there’s no way to tell if Sebastian was listening and would come. We had to leave that to fate.
I haven’t forgotten my conversation with Elysia, but she’s managed to disappear. When I ask Ambrose about her whereabouts, he frowns, unaware that she is missing.
“It doesn’t matter,” he says, taking my hand. “Hera…I don’t want you there tomorrow night.”
“What?”
“It’s too dangerous. If he shows, he’ll be bringing those that back him, too. There’s sure to be a fight. I can’t protect you while I’m fighting my brother.”
