Chapter 73

• AUBREY
• Strong hands drag me back through the dungeon corridors, my brief taste of freedom already a fading dream. My body aches from the confrontation, but it's nothing compared to the horror of what I discovered in that room. Nora's lifeless form, twisted in the exact position my mother died in—the image burns behind my eyelids like a brand.
• They throw me back into the cell with enough force that I hit the stone wall hard. Pain explodes through my shoulder, but before I can recover, Jax enters behind them.
