Chapter 237

Elfar's tired eyes found hers through the window, and her satisfaction left her in a rush. The man terrified Mora. More than the vampires or even the fae more than anything else. She did not want to be tied to him in any way. Yet, running was futile right now, at least until this stupid bond thing ran its course. Even though she hated it, the most rational thing for her to do was to go back with Elfar and bide her time. Surely, sooner or later, she would have another opportunity to escape. She opened her door and stepped out onto the tree side of the car, as far from Elfar as she could get, pulling her suitcase behind her. An embankment cuts sharply down the side of the road, ending in a rainwater-filled ravine. Her hair and clothes were plastered to her and she was freezing. Her feet squished deeply into the mud. Oh great. Her suitcase was stuck in the cab, too.
