CHAPTER 22

  Elena's POV

  I squinted my eyes and tried to form a shade with my hand from the hot burning scorching sun. "To be honest, I'm not surprised."

  "Why not, Elena? It has been all glamorous from the onset and to think an ancient god will live in a cave?!" He raised his shoulders, shrugging in disappointment.

  "Every place in the world has its best part and its ugly side." I toyed with a lock of my hair and began examining the cave.

  "True, there are finest cities with giant towers and fine buildings." Cass bobbed his head in acknowledgment.

  "Those beautiful cities also have countrysides that have great differences from the finer parts of the city when compared and contrasted." I slightly brushed my palms against the cave to feel its texture.
