Chapter 19 – One Tiny Request

• Nic drops us back into the room and warns us that we only have a few hours before the Trial before he vanishes. The moment he’s gone, Anton shifts back into his boy body. “Considering how fast hours move here,” I sigh, looking at the spot where Nic was just standing. “I’m sure we have even less than that.”
• “So, what do you have planned, kid?” Anton asks, leaning back against my vanity, crossing his arms over his chest as I sigh and set the cloak and the invitation down next to him.
• We didn’t say long at Laila’s before Nic and her Herald showed up at the door. Anton cursed and quickly shifted into his wolf before they strode us out onto the terrace and informed us that time was up. Honestly, I was fine with leaving – I have a great deal of thinking to do about how, precisely, I want to play this.
