Chapter 21

Alaenor couldn't recall how she got here nor did she remember much how she got kidnapped. Just thinking about it made her temple throb from the attempt and let out a frustrated sigh. Footsteps approached but she didn't bother to look at her captor, whatever was it that they wanted from her... they won't get it. A familiar male voice spoke out as a grin broke out from his face.

"Rise and shine, sweetheart."

That voice caused her to lift her head slightly, revealing her irritated expression, "What do you want?"

Cain simply chuckled from the other side of her temporary confinement, hazel eyes taunting as he stood before her.

"Why am I here?" she questioned again, narrowing her eyes at him.

"Isn't it obvious? Cordelia told me all about you, sweetheart, and your journey to Elderhollow. Thanks to you, we found a way in and took the matter at hand." Cain answered with a slight smirk, watching as Alaenor stared at him wide-eyed.
