Chapter 92

Neivayka gasped awake, feeling her body coated in sweat and the aches from the cuts she had to inflict to drain the Shadow. She slowly pushed herself upright, trying to get her mind working again.

She wasn’t sure that she had managed to bring Theo back with her and just the thought that he was still in the dream with the Shadow sent her into a panic. As if called by her alarm, she felt a hand squeeze her own and letting her know that Theo was right next to her. Neivayka focused on her breathing, trying to get her whirlwind emotions back under control. A hand grabbed her arm out of nowhere and immediately destroyed all the progress she was making. In a flash, an ice blade materialized and was pointed straight at the heart of the hand's owner.

“Neivayka,” called a familiar voice.

Neivayka’s eyes flew open and met a familiar bright pink gaze.

“Shantane?” Neivayka whispered.

“Yes, my Queen,” she replied calmly.
