CHAPTER 30

NIVAAN’S POV

The night grew dark and silent after the ritual was performed. I stretched my arms, letting the cool wind wash over me. I felt like a huge weight had lifted off my shoulders. Now that Emilia and my baby were safe, I could finally relax.

Suddenly Emilia’s tormented face flashed through my mind. The way she had looked at me made my heart twist. But, at that time I was caught in some kind of frenzy. I couldn’t think of anything else apart from getting the blood.

Though I did everything to protect Emilia and my son, I shouldn’t have used force to get the blood. A pang of guilt tore through me and I sighed. I had to apologize to Emilia. Drawing in a deep breath, I made my way to her tent.
