Chapter Twenty-seven

Ella sat on the couch while Candice handed her a glass of water. Mikael, on the other hand, was already fully clothed beside her. She drank the water and clasped her hands together after putting the glass down.

“So, what really happened?” Blaze asked.

“He may arrive any minute from now. We should prepare,” Ella said nervously. Blaze’s forehead creased, and he crossed his arms.

“I already called them, and they are ready to fight any time,” Blaze said. It was the truth, he called the warriors, and they are already outside waiting for his command while others inspected the borders.

“Lemuel is my grandfather and a leader of the hunters,” Ella confessed. Candice gasped. “He ordered Mikael to kidnap me,” she added.

“What else?” Blaze asked while clenching his hand.

“If I haven’t escaped, they will use me to get you,” Ella said and bowed her head. She heard Blaze cursed. He rushed to Mikael and grabbed him by the neck.
