Chapter 125

• Ian’s POV
• I walked out of the chamber, going after Sophia, my chest rising and falling heavily while I made sure to keep my senses alert just in case Aldric wanted attack from behind. I wouldn’t put it past him. It was something he could do. In his moment of rage he could forget that Sophia was with me and she was not tm be harmed.
• I sucked in my lower teeth, my heart pounding hard and loud in my ear. Truth be told, Sophia had been very reckless. Very reckless with the stunt she just pulled. Didn’t she understand that I was doing my best to keep her safe and so that the council wouldn’t see her as a threat? Why did she have to go and destroy my efforts with that stunt? Why didn’t she realize that it was exactly what they wanted, and she fell for the trap.
