Chapter 73 Find Elora

• Dain stood frozen, his heart racing, watching the chaotic scene unfold before him. His breath caught in his throat as he saw the woman he believed to be dead being taken away, and in that moment, he felt utterly helpless. A bittersweet smile flickered across his lips—not because he found happiness in the turmoil around him, but because Elora was alive. After everything, she was alive.
• For days since she had been announced dead, Dain had been trapped in his own mind, consumed with grief and guilt. He had lost weight, his eyes sunken and shadowed with dark circles from sleepless nights spent wrestling with the reality of her supposed death. The mere thought of her absence had driven him to the bottom of a bottle more times than he cared to admit. Yet here she was, alive, and it twisted a knife deep in his heart, knowing she had been hidden from him all along.
• As he watched Zade, the man responsible for so much heartache, Dain couldn’t shake the feeling that perhaps fate was finally delivering justice. Zade had taken Elora away from him, and now, it seemed, he was paying for it. Dain’s thoughts spiraled with anger and confusion. He had been so consumed by the notion of Elora’s death that he hadn't realized she was still out there, battling her demons while he drowned in his despair.
