CHAPTER 22

  Lovette’s POV

  There’s I was again—the same dream I had the night Micah left the Castle. I couldn’t sleep because anytime I close my eyes, I keep seeing the woman with the red snake. There was a knock on the door and I sluggishly got up from the bed to answer it.

  Fallon was standing outside, with her head bent, drenched from head to toe. “What happened to you” I gasped, urging her in and locking the door behind us.

  She was sobbing silently and I placed my hand on both of her shoulders and shook her gently.

  “What happened?” I asked again with worry. She slowly raised her head up and I gasped at the large purple bruise that had form on her cheek.

  She sniffles and closed her eyes. “They d-did it again.” She cried out, falling on the floor and hugging her knees. “Six of t-them” She added and cried harder.
