Chapter 18

• Isla's POV
• "Adrian!" I blinked in shock, my heart racing as I stood there staring at his dark eyes. "What are you doing here?" I blurted out, my voice full of shock and confusion. He had absolutely no business being in this class. He was a warrior through and through, not a healer.
• Just then, someone brushed past us, and before I could react, Adrian was pushed toward me. My heart leaped as he collided with me. I was about to stumble when his hands instinctively caught my arms, steadying me.
