Chapter 171

• Killian's point of view
• I handed my horse over to the warriors. It was already dark when I returned from the Council's castle. I moved in a hurry, I badly wanted to see Sheila. I had been feeling restless since I saw her in tears back at the Council's castle. I had been trying to mind-link her, but it wasn't connecting. Only the goddess knew how worried I was, and I still was. Even after I had mind-linked Ria, asked about Sheila, and was informed she was back in the castle, I just couldn't remain at peace.
• I hurried through the hallways, heading to my chamber. Hastily, I pushed the door open, and the first thing my eyes fell on was the bed, where Sheila was curled on, sleeping.
