Chapter 190

• Kavian’s POV
• Many days had passed, and today would be the full moon. I didn’t know why, but a sense of unease clung to me, heavy and persistent, like a shadow I couldn’t shake. I had this bad feeling that something would go wrong today. I didn’t know what exactly—only that Rose wasn’t safe. The thought lodged itself in my chest and refused to move.
• It almost felt like paranoia. Since we arrived in the city, my father hadn’t done anything—nothing obvious—to suggest he intended to harm Rose. And that was what frightened me the most. The silence. The restraint. It felt calculated, like something being carefully put together beyond my sight. I could feel it in my bones—he was planning something. I just didn’t know what.
