Chapter 14 The Weight Of Secrets

• Kael’s POV
• The moon is a silent, solemn witness to the events of the last few hours. Its light streams through the large window in Seren’s room, painting the space in shades of silver and shadow. Hours have passed since I pulled Seren from the freezing water of my tub. Since my father interrogated the man who tried to take Seren. Since we found out the truth about where Seren and her mother came from.
• We wrapped Seren in a thick, fluffy blanket and brought her back to her bed, her body still weak but no longer burning with the wolfsbane's poison. She’ll be better.
