Chapter 86

• Rose’s POV
• “Are you sure you want to do this here?” Kavian’s voice was low, laced with something unreadable as he glanced at the surrounding trees.
• His frown stirred a memory I knew we were both thinking of—the night he saved me from the Nightshade wolves. Six of them, circling like vultures, their eyes glinting with cruelty. I could still hear the growls, still feel the terror in my bones. And I remembered the way Kavian tore through them, swift and brutal, painting the ground red before they could touch me. Perhaps the forest carried ghosts for him.
