Chapter 127

• Cesmae's POV
• The four days I’ve spent in solitary confinement feel like an eternity. The cell is cold and dim, the only light coming from a small, barred window high above me. My body aches from the hard cot, and the silence is oppressive, broken only by the occasional sound of footsteps in the corridor.
• The worst part is not being able to see Raizel. I know he’s nearby, doing everything in his power to help me, but being unable to feel his touch, hear his voice, is a pain I didn’t anticipate.
