Chapter 14
- Rhea’s POV
- The morning sun didn't bring warmth to the Ravencroft Estate; it brought the cold, razor-sharp reality of the cage I was trapped in.
- I stood on the stone balcony overlooking the eastern courtyard, my fingers clutching the icy granite balustrade. My neck throbbed with a low, persistent pulse where Jaxon’s mark burned beneath my skin, a constant reminder that my life was no longer my own. The dark amber elixir tasted like ash on the back of my tongue, forced down my throat ten minutes ago by a sweating Kaelen.
