Chapter 63

“Ladies, please.” Voltaire held up a hand. “I think Dru may be right, Aurora.” Voltaire shrugged as Aurora turned her gaze on him. “I think…um, Adam,” Voltaire smiled at Dru. “May indeed be a help. His loss would certainly put the Atlanteans in a turmoil.”

“Then it’s settled then. We need to free Adam.” Dru gave a curt nod and a triumphant smile.

“We’ll gather in the library.” Voltaire looked around. “I will go into the tunnels with Tsillah and ensure that she and the prisoners can return to their people. Once you have freed Adam, return to the library. Then we can make our bid for freedom.”

Midnight hugged Aurora, her embrace so tight he could barely breathe, but he didn’t pull away.

“It’s going to be fine. You’ll see. We’ll be back before you know it, and we’re once on the ship, it’ll be plain sailing home.”

“You just come back safe, Midnight Pendragon. You hear me?” Aurora’s hug eased in intensity, she leaned back, and then shook him as if to emphasise her words.
